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.)

You are a bullshit artist. Analogue computers were used with great success in many applications.

You seem to have problem grasping what exactly I mean by digital in the modern context of computing, or what logic and what conceptual bases are behind it. Here some interesting insights that might help clearing the fog:https://tinyurl.com/rnwxrf2

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.

Moreover, all real computers at the end of the day can be identified as physical systems. What lead to their identification as computers is that they are rule-bound systems.
