my own favourite consideration of the digital was ron briefel's exemplar
with a beer can, a 2-state clicking of 0 and 1, at the end of last years
Decrystallization salon event which Heath unfortunately missed.....

hi heath,
of the very many ways of considering what is digital (and to avoid some of the
many disambiguations in our equally ill defined age), one of my personal favs
is this snippet from wikipedia:
A beacon is perhaps the simplest non-electronic digital signal, with just two states (on
and off). In particular, smoke signals are one of the oldest examples of a digital
signal, where an analog "carrier" (smoke) is modulated with a blanket to
generate a digital signal (puffs) that conveys information.
cheers,
stephen
