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
Suppose further that among the trait-positive horizontally exposed models, 70 percent produce a response diverging from the seeded canonical form beyond the declared threshold, =0.70 , against 15 percent for the vertically exposed group, =0.15 : horizontal transmission would be lossier, consistent with an indirect channel and with Mesoudi and Whiten’s finding that transmission-chain experiments on human cultural information typically show cumulative drift across successive links rather than the stable replication a simple copying model would predict [ 14 ] . And suppose a curation pass applied before the horizontally exposed artifact reached its downstream trainer moved the trait’s…
