Where the article explains it
Neither nor is arbitrary on its own — each is anchored to a cited, checkable piece of theory, and the crossover tolerance is computed, not chosen after the fact to produce a headline.
The passage around this formula
It is worth being explicit about which part of that conditional is load-bearing. Neither nor is arbitrary on its own — each is anchored to a cited, checkable piece of theory, and the crossover tolerance is computed, not chosen after the fact to produce a headline. What is a choice, and should be named as one, is treating and as commensurate just because both are dimensionless numbers between zero and one. A fidelity and a normalized angular tolerance measure different…

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.
