What would software for analog computing look like? I don’t mean low level like potentiometer knobs. That’s like machine code I guess. But higher levels of abstraction. An example might be interferometry. Is the Boolean abstraction necessary for complex computing?

I think back in the day analog computers were never really programmable. At most you could tweak some knobs to change weights on embodied differential equations etc.

I guess I’m not phrasing the question well. I’m not talking about 1940s vintage vannevar bush style analog computing but a possible modern descendant capable of fairly general computation with real numbers and infinite precision (Shannon noise-limited) hardware.
