Where the article explains it

Neither $t_L$ nor $t_G$ is arbitrary on its own — each is anchored to a cited, checkable piece of theory, and the crossover tolerance $\delta^\ast$ is computed, not chosen after the fact to produce a headline.

The passage around this formula

…= 4 , so $t_G$ $\approx$ 0.50\, $\mathrm{ms}$ and $\Delta$ $t_{LG}$ $\approx$ -3.0\, $\mathrm{ms}$ : under this same model, on this same hole, the compass now comes back first. The crossover, where 1/( $f_1$ $\delta^2$ ) = $\ln$ S/2 $\pi$ , sits at $\delta^\ast$ $\approx$ 0.188\, $\mathrm{rad}$ , about eleven degrees, for this hole and this choice of $f_1$ . A fourth, trivial floor closes the set of checks: for $C_t$ smaller than the input systems themselves, or for t before scrambling has had time to run at all, neither $\epsilon_L(t)$ nor…

An exponent tells how a base is used in multiplication. In x³, x is the base and 3 is the exponent: x³ = x × x × x.
