The passage around this formula

Scenario A — incremental compounding. η(t)\eta(t) continues to improve mainly through architecture, quantization, and process refinements within digital CMOS, compounding at a slowing but still positive rate as the Horowitz-style voltage floor is approached more closely each generation. Event cameras and neuromorphic processors remain concentrated in the applications where their narrow strengths already fit — industrial sensing, some automotive perception, always-on wake tasks — without breaking into general-purpose vision. On-device privacy architecture spreads because it is commercially and operationally convenient under AI Act-style obligations, not because any law explicitly mandates it.…
