Computation is a calculation.

Is computation subjective or objective?
Computation is a process.
Computation converts an input to an output. The same output can be produced through many different ways of processing the input.
Computation can produce useful outcomes. Computation can produce useless outcomes. The outcome requires interpretation to determine whether it is useful or useless.
The interpretation of computation is a cultural product, reflective of the ideas, values, knowledge, opinions of a point in time.
