the analog computers I've played with (homebrew systems from analogmuseum.org/english/exampl) were not digital at all, it was more like plugging modular synthesizers and making curves on an oscilloscope converge

Seems like word games to me. The theory of these things is not rooted in discrete math, they only become digital when you assume a digital universe.

eh? How else do you want to root analog computers in discrete math then? You could make an argument about branches being discrete for example, though my experience has been that I didn't use any branches at all really. You'd totally get emerging bifurcations though

I was using "discrete" as a stand-in for "digital" because I can count only integers (with certain tricks, rationals) on my fingers (digits). Maybe yours can count reals, in which case yeah cool, go ahead call your fuzzy logics digital!
