Symbol p^*

p∗p^*
p∗p^*

What this part means

a preregistered practical reliability threshold and the lower confidence bound is clustered by task, repository, and repeated attempt.

Its job in the formula

p∗p^* is a part of this expression. Its role is fixed by the surrounding article and by the operations shown in the formula.

Where the article explains it

where p∗p^* is a preregistered practical reliability threshold and the lower confidence bound is clustered by task, repository, and repeated attempt.

The passage around this formula

where p∗p^* is a preregistered practical reliability threshold and the lower confidence bound is clustered by task, repository, and repeated attempt. The region lives in intention-gap/horizon space: g is in bit-transitions and h in active human minutes. It is not an ontological home for a machine. It is a reproducible statement of where that machine clears a reliability bar under one budget.
