What this part means
The expressions on both sides represent the same quantity under the stated assumptions.
Its job in the formula
The equals sign connects the complete expression on the left with the complete expression on the right. Both sides must have compatible units.

The passage around this formula
All of here is shared and randomly initialised at t=0 , and no term is held fixed while another is optimised. That is the formal content of “native”: contrast it with the modular recipe, where the vision and language terms are each minimised separately, over separate data, to convergence, long before the two are ever combined.
Learn the underlying idea
An equals sign says that the expression on its left and the expression on its right have the same value under the stated definitions and assumptions.
