The passage around this formula
Dreamer-style world models learn a compact latent-dynamics model — a recurrent state-space model that predicts both a stochastic and a deterministic component of future latent state — and then train a policy by backpropagating through imagined rollouts inside that latent space, rather than through real or simulated environment steps directly [ 8 ] . DayDreamer took that specific mechanism, previously demonstrated mostly in video-game and simulated benchmarks, and applied it to physical robots learning online, without a simulator and without human demonstrations, reporting that four different physical robots (a quadruped and several manipulator arms) learned locomotion and manipulation skills…

A variable is a named place for a value. Its letter is a local label: x can mean position in one formula and a data point in another.
