Thanks, but I meant to ask, how does that work in terms of an algorithm? Let's say you were to design a program that follows an iterative update a := exp(b) and then something else - that means you assign the right hand side to a at each iteration. But since $\propto$ is proportional and not equal, how would that work in an algorithm or computer software?
