"grossly" oversampled...it is sampled at a high rate, whether one considers this gross or not...I think the higher sampling rate, the better."Error signal" fed back- not really- a comparison is made to the previous digitizer output converted back to analog- I don't see in what sense this could be considered an error- it is very simply determining whether the current signal amplitude should drive the pulse density up or down.
"Butter and margarine"- as far as I know neither pulse code modulation nor pulse density modulation exist in nature, these are both manmade algorithms designed to store and recover a continuous analog signal in a string of digital bits. They are both quite simple and elegant in concept and of course far trickier in practice.
