Yes, but why do you think by digital I essentially mean binary? By digital I mean any numeric-system with terminating computing functions. Digital > Binary

Ok, but please tell me what numeric system is the Antikythera Mechanism using? Or a Jacquard loom? Those devices are analogue, not digital, not even by your definition of ”digital”.
