What this part means
The expressions on both sides represent the same quantity under the stated assumptions.
Its job in the formula
The equals sign connects the complete expression on the left with the complete expression on the right. Both sides must have compatible units.

The passage around this formula
It is also worth noting, in fairness to the paper, that Extended Data Table 2’s four regressions do not read as a story fitted to confirm itself: several of the sixteen reported coefficients are small and statistically indistinguishable from zero, including individualism’s association with sparing higher-status characters ( = 0.02 ) and rule of law’s association with sparing females ( = 0.24 , not significant at conventional thresholds) [ 1 ] . A purely confirmatory analysis would be unlikely to publish its own null results this openly. But a differential-turnstile process would not predict uniformly strong correlations across every cell either — it would predict exactly the…
