An '''Analog Computer''' is a computer which computes with analog instead of digital information. The main properties of analog computing, as we practice it with the [[Analog Intelligence]] devices (such as [[The Analog Thing]]) are:

* Continous values and continous time, no ''digit'' based number representation
* Simultaneous data flow instead of algorithms, no ''clock''
* Low information computation with only a few (effectively) significant digits

There are a lot of primers how to start into analog computing, for instances the books by Bernd or some publications by [[anabrid]]. There are close connections to large and exciting topics such as [[Quantum Computing]] or [[Artificial Intelligence]]. Analog computing is sometimes sorted into categories such as

* Beyond Von-Neumann computing (Computer architectures which do not follow the Von Neumann or Hardward architecture)
* Exotic or non-traditional computing (when digital imperative coding is the traditional approach)
* Neuromorphic computing (inspired by the way the brain most likely works)
