How it works
Read USEFULNESS(p,q,t) as the quantity being defined or updated by this relation.
Substitute the source-defined variables or recorded values and follow the displayed arithmetic and indexing exactly.
Use this version’s variable definitions and update order. The same symbol may be assigned a different meaning in another build.
