Synchrony in hardware
“We might say that the clock enables us to introduce a discreteness into time, so that time for some purposes can be regarded as a succession of instants instead of a continuous flow. A digital machine must essentially deal with discrete objects, ... All other computing machines except for human and other brains that I know of do the same. One can think up ways of avoiding it, but they are very awkward.” A. Turing
