Its job in the formula

Add the term after the plus sign to the term or group before it.

The passage around this formula

At weak field this reduces to the familiar yijy_{ij} ≈\approx (Φi\Phi_i - Φj\Phi_j)/c2c^2 for Newtonian potential Φ\Phi , exactly the quantity real fibre-linked clock comparisons already report [ 1 , 7 ] . Collect every measured edge into a vector y , one entry per link, and encode the network’s topology in an incidence matrix B : row e = (i,j) has a +1 in column i , a -1 in column j , and zero elsewhere. The model is y = Bϕ\phi + n for measurement noise n with covariance C , and the standard weighted least-squares estimate of the node potentials is

Addition combines quantities; subtraction measures the signed difference between them. Parentheses show what is combined before the rest of the expression is evaluated.
