Where the article explains it
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 in the recurrence faster than or a falling can offset it.
The passage around this formula
Assumptions. That machine-mediated synthesis functions as -raising augmentation of human researchers’ own idea generation for a large share of research domains, rather than as -style substitution that merely repackages existing ideas faster without adding genuinely novel ones; and that the collective-brain mechanism — more connected minds sustaining more complex, cumulative culture [ 4 ] — extends to human-machine collaboration rather than being specific to human-to-human networks.
