AmplifyH(X)\mathrm{Amplify}_H(X)

Why this formula appears here

IDA is debate’s closest theoretical relative, aimed at the same underlying worry from a different angle: rather than trusting a single judge to adjudicate an argument about a hard problem, it never asks any one evaluator to face the hard problem directly. Christiano, Shlegeris, and Amodei describe a scheme they call Amplify: a composite system, written AmplifyH(X)\mathrm{Amplify}_H(X) , “consisting of H and several copies of X working together to solve a problem,” in which H — standing in for a human overseer — breaks a hard question into useful subquestions, has several copies of the current trained agent X answer each subquestion, and then combines the subanswers into a response to the original…
