Is Nova Hart's voice mathematically human? The statistical numbers are deeply strange.

In statistical terms, her pitch deviation sits 7.1 sigma outside the normal human vocal distribution.
Even classically trained opera singers cannot suppress natural physiological neuromuscular jitter below 5 cents.

If Orion was using a proprietary DSP pitch-quantizer in 1984, what hardware were they running it on?

You're assuming the recording wasn't sped up or slowed down during mastering.

Line 11: 'The key is the pitch of my voice.' The vocal pitch IS the demodulation clock for the subcarrier.
