analog[e82,jmc] What computations cannot be made efficiently by computer?
1. Suppose we have a network of wires connecting cross points. Whether
two points remain connected when a wire is added to or removed from
the network seems difficult to compute efficiently.
2. There could also be diodes or transistors in the network.
What other examples are possible of irreducibly analog computations?
