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
The two pictures are not independent theories that happen to share a symbol. The Galilei phase is the c residue of the Poincaré non-extension, and the residue can be taken explicitly rather than asserted. Write the energy operator for a system at rest as H=M+ , separating the rest energy from whatever nonrelativistic energy — kinetic, internal — sits on top of it. The relativistic loop phase becomes
Learn the underlying idea
An exponent tells how a base is used in multiplication. In x³, x is the base and 3 is the exponent: x³ = x × x × x.
