Its job in the formula

GiG_ij is an input to the expression that computes the quantity on the left.

The passage around this formula

The multiplication step follows directly from two textbook circuit laws. Apply a voltage ViV_i simultaneously to each row i, representing the i-th component of an input vector. By Ohm’s law, the cell at row i and column j draws a current ViV_i times its conductance GiG_ij. By Kirchhoff’s current law, every current flowing into a given column sums automatically on that column’s wire, so the total current collected at the bottom of column j is Ij=∑iVi GijI_j = \sum_i V_i\, G_{ij}. which is precisely the j-th component of the matrix-vector product between the input vector and the conductance matrix stored across the array — computed in one step, in parallel across every cell, using nothing but the physics of the…
