What this part means

A raised number can be a power. When it is a label or bound, it selects a case or the upper limit of a sum; the formula’s structure distinguishes these uses.

Its job in the formula

A raised mark can be a power or an index. Its position and the surrounding notation determine which.

The passage around this formula

where hv(k)h_v^{(k)} is node v ’s representation after k rounds of message passing, euve_{uv} is the edge connecting it to neighbour u , and ψ\psi and ϕ\phi are learned functions — the same general operation GNoME’s crystal-graph network applies to atoms and bonds, applied here to points on a sphere and the physical processes connecting them. GraphCast predicts five surface variables and six atmospheric variables across thirty-seven pressure levels, ten days ahead, at six-hour steps [ 5 ] .
