Thank you for the correction regarding discrete-in-time. I appreciate it.
In the case of the amount of signal being discrete because it is made of particles, this is also true of the floats that computer neural nets are computing with anyway, isn't it?
I think the top level comment (by NalNezumi) was talking about continuous-ness in time anyway, (and, I think the strength of firing of biological neurons is thought to be at least approximately binary anyway? not sure about that.) so I'm not sure I see the bearing of them being unable to be truly continuous in strength on the question?
