how many bits wide is it

Many (like, say, velocity or mass), but it gets more expensive to detect it's value to a higher precision, like measuring a voltage very precisely

I guess we can't set a subset of bits only?

It's an analog value, not a digital one.

any analog value can be digital if you modulate it fast enough

speaking of which, how fast can i modulate it

that's an interesting question - and definitely a parameter. i'd say it's like the EM field, where to vibrate it faster you have to put in more energy. May as well say it's the same order of magnitude but requires some kind of weird substance to couple to it.

so with an arbitrarily large energy supply, i could essentially have an arbitrary bit rate? then i would simply implement time-division multiplexing
