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 third reason is that measurement itself has a cost and a failure mode. A current-sense shunt clamped around the supply rail is the standard way to verify what a design is actually drawing, as opposed to what its datasheet implies, and the discipline of doing this at multiple points in the duty cycle — sleep, wake-trigger evaluation, full inference, radio transmission — is what turns a power budget from arithmetic into an engineering artifact someone can defend. A budget built only from datasheet typical-current figures, without a bench measurement at each state, is analysis built on unverified vendor numbers stacked several layers deep; a single shunt measurement campaign, even a short…
Learn the underlying idea
A subscript is a label attached below a symbol. It often selects a time step, component, category, or member of a sequence.
