What this part means

the but with steeply diminishing returns in.

Its job in the formula

gamma is a part of this expression. Its role is fixed by the surrounding article and by the operations shown in the formula.

Where the article explains it

This rises with both α\alpha and γ\gamma , but with steeply diminishing returns in γ\gamma for any α\alpha below one: drafting fifty tokens ahead does not buy anywhere near fifty accepted tokens, because the marginal proposal deep into a long draft is unlikely to be exactly what the target would have generated.
