I too have a problem with continuous math. However I have to wonder if we didn't have our senses, would our imaginations be discrete or continuous?

Discontinuous, probably.

Or concrete, as suggested by Knuth, Graham, and Patashnik in their book, "Concrete Mathematics: A Foundation for Computer Science".

The "Concrete Math" book title is a play on words - combining continuous and discrete. From the preface: "When DEK taught Concrete Mathematics for the first time.... [h]e announced that, contrary to the expectations of some of his colleagues, he was _not_ going to teach the Theory of Aggregates, not Stone's Embedding Theorem, not even the Stone-Cech compactification. (Several students from the civil engineering department got up and quietly left the room). [Edit]: Typo/Spelling fix.

Neurons themselves are working on physics at not quite quantum scales, so probably a good model would be timewise continuous stochastic.
