@altruios@mastodon.social @jadedtwin@corteximplant.com @WhiteCatTamer@mastodon.online @Eatsbluecrayon@rollenspiel.social also remember that when you describe something numerically you can only do so within the accuracy limits of the numerical representation. There’s always going to be quantisation noise. The thing I like about analogue systems is to get from one value to another they have to go through all (an infinite number of) points in between.

@holdenweb@freeradical.zone representation is doing lifting there… I agree we cannot represent all the math correctly. Normal numbers are the bulk of numbers and they can’t be represented on the computer… Doesn’t mean normal numbers don’t exist. Analog systems are still describable by numbers. Digitization is a different issue. Our limits of representation are not the limits of numbers in the abstract. You bring up good points, though. Quantization is an issue with representing numbers.
