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
The second, quieter disagreement is the S8 tension. S8 is a combination of the amplitude of matter density fluctuations and the matter density parameter , defined as
