Artificial Intelligence / Unit 5 AI 0250 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Raised and Lowered Labels
Captions available
The idea
A raised label multiplies — b to the d is b as a factor d times — and a lowered label counts siblings, numbered for reference.
In practice
Three to the sixteenth is forty-three million; three times sixteen is forty-eight — the raised label dwarfs the product.
Where people slip
Subscripts carry no operation at all; they are name tags for siblings too numerous to letter.
