That’s precisely why it’s exponential.Ronan starts off with 2 repeaters.Those repeaters then replicate. So now you have 4 repeaters.Each of those 4 repeaters replicate. So now you have 8 repeaters. Each of those 8 repeaters replicate. So now you have 16 repeaters. Ad infinitum.Your equation is incorrect. As I stated above, it is 2^x, whereas yours is x^2.

An exponential growth in a non linear X would be 2,4,16,256 , etc. They simply DOUBLE 2,4,8,16, etc , simple and non ambiguous.
