Seems presumptuous they use an 8 bit byte in middle earth. I'd expect more like 20 bits, but divided between men, elves, and dwarfs. Well, except one of those bits is the one true bit, having spooky control over the other bits. Clearly middle earth computation is quantum.

Dont think its quantum. Its all deterministic and based on the music of the ainur. So its analog.
