The passage around this formula
…Write A(t) for the share of a frontier model’s decision-relevant behaviour with a validated, causally checked account — Circuit Tracing’s own figures are the best public anchor for where A(t) sits today [ 2 ] — and S(t) for the share of published interpretability results built on a method that has cleared an agreed, cross-lab benchmark rather than a proxy metric of the kind SAEBench found unreliable [ 10 ] . A regulator or a court asked to accept mechanistic evidence needs both a guarantee about how much of…

A function assigns an output to each allowed input. The expression f(x) means “apply f to x”.
