@noxypaws Oh geez... in this case that's discussing BigO in mathematical terms, which is EXTREMELY different than it is for the software term.

Welcome to one of those many cases software 'lifted' a term from math and re-defined it entirely.

In math terms it's just reducing the equation to a single cNⁱ item, then c = c obviously, and n₀ is the smallest value of N where the over-simplified equation is ≥ the full-complexity equation.

@noxypaws Basically if there's any ∴ involved it's the mathematical meaning which is purely simplifying an equation to a single 'piece' in a (mathematically) well-defined way.
