Computationalism (the idea that everything in existence is fully characterized by states and transition functions) is

I thought in a probabilistic universe we are dealing with uncertainty (Heisenberg). And a phrase like "fully characterized by states and transition functions" reminds me at Gödels Answer. But in math and physics things I trust you more than my intuition :)

You may be dealing with a true random number generator (in which case state transitions lose information, which seems empirically false for our universe) or ignorance (so the observer cannot obtain or keep information). Both options don't contradict computationalism.
