How it works

  1. Read the displayed expression together with the surrounding source statement; it is retained as an expression rather than silently completed into an equality.

  2. Substitute the source-defined variables or recorded values and follow the displayed arithmetic and indexing exactly.

  3. Use this version’s variable definitions and update order. The same symbol may be assigned a different meaning in another build.

Assumptions & limits

Conditions

  • The surrounding implementation must define the input scales and any output clipping.

  • The formula is a state blend, not a Shannon mutual-information calculation.
