The philosophical bias that asserts that only things which can be measured, quantified, or processed by a computer are real or matter. If you can’t put a number on it, it’s dismissed as irrelevant. This bias devalues subjective experience, emotions, art, and any form of knowledge that doesn't fit into a spreadsheet. It’s the worldview of someone who thinks a person's worth can be calculated by their resume and their feelings are just faulty data.
Example: "My performance review was pure Computational Bias. They said my 'positive attitude' wasn't a measurable metric, so it contributed nothing to the company."
