I didn’t mean to suggest there is a difference other than giving it more computation and more data.
I was imagining Amplify(X) as a procedure that calls X a bounded number of times, so that you need to iterate Amplify in order to have arbitrarily large runtimes, while I think you were imagining a parameterized operation Amplify(X, n) that takes n time and so can be scaled up directly. Your usage also seems fine.
Even if that’s not the difference, I strongly expect we are on the same page here about everything other than words. I’ve definitely updated some about the difficulty of words.

Okay, I agree that we’re on the same page. Amplify(X,n) is what I had in mind.
