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

Suppose a field calculation actually justifies V(T)=e−ΓTV(T)=e^{-\Gamma T}. where Γ\Gamma has units of inverse time in the explicitly named time coordinate. Define a confidence deficit δ\delta . A Holevo-ceiling time is
