Even if there is an interpretation where this does make sense, in your own presentation (in this post) you’d still need to define the terms and their units to turn this into a meaningful hypothesis, and state that it’s indeed meaningful, to disambiguate from the rhetorical usage that I suspected in it.
I am using the equation rhetorically, on purpose. The footnote given immediately after the equation explains that the version in this post is pseudomath, and lists the paper that gives the true equation (and its measurement units) and argues for its validity. I even went to the trouble of uploading a PDF of that paper (and 30+ others) so you can read it yourself:
I do not argue for the truth of any of my claims in this article. That would take a book, not an article. I just list the advice, and leave the arguments about truth and conceptual validity for the footnotes and the references, which I have provided, with great effort.
