The passage around this formula
The first factor is Shannon entropy: . Its unit is bits. A request that commits competent readers to one completion class has =0 bits. A request that leaves two equally plausible classes alive has one bit. This does not imply that either task takes one unit of labor. It says only how much uncertainty about the reasonable completion story remains after the initial request is read. The estimator should carry a resampling interval across annotators and adjudication choices; a point estimate without its classification fragility would make the most subjective part of the design look falsely exact.

A variable is a named place for a value. Its letter is a local label: x can mean position in one formula and a data point in another.
