Q&A Is there a mathematical process resembling the terms "digital"/"discrete" and "analog"/"continuous"?

Discrete sets, as ℕ ℤ and ℚ, are in bijection within themselves, and the number of elements in them is Aleph (א) sub zero. Continuum sets as ℝ or 𝕀 are not in bijection to the former ℕ ℤ ℚ, and th...

digital in practice uses application boolean appliances, however that's not a true fact, digital signals can be multivalued

### from 10000 feet

Digital is a two-valued set.

Discrete sets, as ℕ ℤ and ℚ, are in [bijection][0] within themselves, and the number of elements in them is [Aleph (א) sub zero][1].

Continuum sets as ℝ or 𝕀 do not, and the number of elements in them is [Aleph (א) sub one][2].
