The passage around this formula
…of image patches performs competitively with convolutional networks when pre-trained on enough data [ 2 ] . The token count follows immediately from the geometry, . for an image of height H and width W at patch size P . The quadratic relationship is the entire practical story of image tokenisation. Halving the patch size quadruples the sequence, and attention cost grows faster still. Every deployed system therefore resolves a three-way tension between input resolution, patch size, and context…
