Why are there no programming languages for analog computers?

>>58663842
how would that even work ?

It needs to work. Turing machines are too stupid to get any further than driving your car.

Signals can be described by differential equations, so I guess it would be like some kind of math.

what ?

>Signals can be described by differential equations, so I guess it would be like some kind of math.
but how would programming without digital logic work ?

Instead of turning things off and on, you change voltages, resistances, and amperage. It's variable, not discrete.

>>58663991
thats not the point.
try writing a conditional statement without using binary logic.

>>58664022
Semiconductors, for example.

>>58664101
Why would it have to have binary logic? There is more than one way to process information.

Programming languages don't have to be digital.

>>58664101
just try to formulate a conditional statement without using binary logic and post it.

>>58663842
You mean COBOL on punchcards?

>>58664131
If you keep shitpoisting, I might ban you.

>>58664158
too hard for you to write an if statement ?

>>58664022
What is thresholding?

>>58663842
What is VHDL-AMS ;)

It looks like assembly. Painful to use.

>>58664131
Try fuzzy Sets and logic.

>>58664191
ofc you can build analog circuits, but if you want to program them and communicate with them you need to convert the analog signals to discrete values

>>58664256
What is sample and hold?

>>58664131
>I don't know how transistors work

>>58663842
Because it would be difficult to replicate a program since analog signals are prone to lots of noise and interference because changes on the source, envrionment or materials used to carry the signal. It's not practical.

>>58664120
Nigger you are literally talking about quantum computing.

Why can't we build a computer this way, using voltage, resistance, and current flow you ask? Because there are so many factors that affect these qualities it would be borderline impossible.

Every single semiconductor, passive component, and even bit of wire have some level of variance and some margin of error. To account for all the properties at play you would have to measure each component to the fucking t as well as account for temperature change. Beyond that, no matter how much buffering and filtering you introduce, each compoment's function will affect the fuction of many others in circuit in some way, as well as the relative voltage, resistance, and current within the circuit.

There exist some very basic examples, but ultimately it's just too convoluted to be in any way a realistic choice.

Also, this still isn't programming. Programming is an abstraction, an analog computer would rely on a set gate control scheme on a hardware level. That in itself would be absurdly complex.

this, but it will be very hard to program
