Raised and Lowered Labels
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
A raised label multiplies — b to the d is b as a factor d times — and a lowered label counts siblings, numbered for reference.
Show
Three to the sixteenth is forty-three million; three times sixteen is forty-eight — the raised label dwarfs the product.
Watch for
Subscripts carry no operation at all; they are name tags for siblings too numerous to letter.
