What this part means

The lower label selects a particular version, component, or indexed member of the quantity. For example, x₀ and xₜ can be values at different positions.

Its job in the formula

A subscript distinguishes a version, component, step, or member of a quantity. It does not automatically mean multiplication.

The passage around this formula

A transfer rate above zero says a channel is associated with a trait. It does not yet say whether the trait is a faithful copy or a garbled one, and it says nothing about whether curators along the way made the trait more or less likely to survive into the next training corpus. Two further quantities complete the construction. The mutation rate μc\mu_c=1∣Mc+∣\frac{1}{|\mathcal{M}_c^+|}∑m∈Mc+\sum_{m\in\mathcal{M}_c^+}1\mathbb{1}[d(rmr_m,ρ\rho)>δ\delta] measures, among the trait-positive models in class c (the set Mc+\mathcal{M}_c^+ ), what fraction produce a response diverging from the seeded canonical form ρ\rho by more than a fixed threshold δ\delta under a declared distance function d : a high μc\mu_c says the…
