    Digital (discrete, e.g. binary) is mutually exclusive with analog (continuous, e.g. voltage), but either can be either physical (existing in the real world), or virtual (simulated, represented).

    A digital clock can be physical or virtual. A virtual clock can be digital or analog.

    Btw I don’t think it makes sense to say redstone computers are “simulating binary”, at least not any more than real computers do. It’s just another digital computer, running in a virtual environment rather than a physical one.
