-
A.
analog computer
An analog computer is a computing device that represents and processes data as continuously variable physical quantities, such as voltages or mechanical motions, to model and solve mathematical problems.
-
B.
electromechanical computer
An electromechanical computer is a computing device that performs calculations using a combination of electrical circuits and mechanically moving components such as relays, switches, or rotating shafts.
-
C.
mechanical computer
chosen
A mechanical computer is a device that performs calculations or processes information using purely mechanical components such as gears, levers, and cams instead of electronic circuits.
-
D.
machine
A machine is a man-made device or system that uses energy to perform work, automate tasks, or process materials according to designed functions.
-
E.
discrete analogue of differential calculus
A discrete analogue of differential calculus is a mathematical framework that extends concepts like derivatives, integrals, and differential equations to functions defined on discrete domains, typically using difference operators and summation.
- F. None of above.
Provenance (1 batch)
The batch behind each pipeline step, in order, with when it ran. Timestamps are batch-level — stages were processed in waves, so the object chain (NER → NED1 → NEDg → NED2) reads in order, but predicate / elicitation batches can sit in a different wave.
