The idea that there is such a thing as analogue computation is a classic oxymoron. The logic of the digital is computation and vice versa. (Now let's see how quickly this thread devolves.)

Starting from the logic of computation as defined within inductive logic, computational complexity theory not to mention statistical thermodynamics, analogue computation is only computation insofar as it is isomorphic to the logic of digital computation i.e., a numeric system ...

... within which you can get terminating computational function. This subtly undermines the sloppy distinction between countable ordinals as Digital and uncountable reals as analogue.
