The passage around this formula

The claim. By 2100, transmission-layer improvements — faster search across a shared corpus, machine-assisted synthesis across disciplines, and lower-friction connection between distant specialists — have reversed the long documented decline in research productivity per researcher, raising ItI_t in the recurrence faster than MtM_t or a falling ρt\rho_t can offset it.
