is there a more accepted connotation of the lone word "computation" that means something different from "theory of computation" (in the sense of turing machines, computability, decidability, complexity classes, Sipser) etc?

I could see someone interpreting "computation" to be more practical.
Yeah, actually computing things imo
the theory is mainly about uncomputable things tho
