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.)
Numeric-based systems with terminating functions. Digital > Binary

And here I was going go the etymological route and say digital is just whatever can be represented by counting on my fingies

Yes, it's the traditional route i.e. countable ordinals. But it can lead to unsavory distinctions between the digital and analogue / reals. It's not really a good way to see the problem because you can still compute (find a terminating function) for a real with decimal expansion.
