The passage around this formula
…an assumption rather than a vague sense of difficulty. A vision transformer front end tokenises an image of height H and width W at patch size P into = , and a video of T sampled frames multiplies that by T again. Any fixed context budget therefore forces a three-way trade between spatial patch size, temporal sampling rate, and clip duration — coarsen the patches, subsample frames, or truncate the clip. Whichever is chosen, information is discarded before a…
