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?

Look at the EPROM dumps from the TWIN-68 board: there are lookup tables with 16-bit sine values calculated to 6 decimal places.
