Symbol c_regenerate

cregeneratec_{\text{regenerate}}
cregeneratec_{\text{regenerate}}

What this part means

the cost of another attempt.

Its job in the formula

crc_regenerate 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

where N is the number of exercises targeted, cgeneratec_{\text{generate}} is the compute cost of producing one candidate item, pfailp_{\text{fail}} is the fraction that fail correctness or contamination filtering and must be regenerated, and cregeneratec_{\text{regenerate}} is the cost of another attempt.

The passage around this formula

…is the number of exercises targeted, cgeneratec_{\text{generate}} is the compute cost of producing one candidate item, pfailp_{\text{fail}} is the fraction that fail correctness or contamination filtering and must be regenerated, and cregeneratec_{\text{regenerate}} is the cost of another attempt. This is not drawn from a specific paper’s disclosed cost model — none of the sources here publish exact figures — it is included only because it makes explicit an assumption that is easy to gloss over in prose: a synthetic curriculum’s real cost…
