What this part means
The expressions on both sides represent the same quantity under the stated assumptions.
Its job in the formula
The equals sign connects the complete expression on the left with the complete expression on the right. Both sides must have compatible units.

The passage around this formula
On the complexity side, progress has been real but almost entirely incremental and mostly orthogonal to the central P vs NP question itself. The matrix multiplication exponent — the smallest number such that two n n matrices can be multiplied in O() arithmetic operations — sets an upper bound relevant to a huge range of numerical linear algebra, and it has been chipped downward repeatedly. A January 2024 paper identified a previously unrecognized inefficiency in the leading “laser method” approach and used the fix to bring the best known upper bound to approximately 2.371552 [ 5 ] , continuing a sequence of small improvements stretching back decades. No one working on…
