The passage around this formula
…linkages matter. First, the two ends of Axis A load the machine differently: large training runs are dense matrix-multiplication workloads with high arithmetic intensity that sit comfortably on the compute-bound side of , whereas long deliberation is autoregressive decoding, which is bandwidth-bound. A world that moves toward deliberation therefore makes Axis B bind harder for the same total FLOP , which is why the axes cannot be treated as orthogonal. Second, causation runs backwards too: if bandwidth…

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.
