Here, $$\mathcal{F}$$ is an energy or energy extrapolation scheme, and the following also hold.

$\delta_{\textbf{delta_wfn_lesser}}^{\textbf{delta_wfn}} \; = \mathcal{F}_{\textbf{delta_scheme}} \left(E_{\text{corl},\; \textbf{delta_wfn}}^{\textbf{delta_basis}}\right) - \mathcal{F}_{\textbf{delta_scheme}} \left(E_{\text{corl},\; \textbf{delta_wfn_lesser}}^{\textbf{delta_basis}}\right)$
$\delta_{\textbf{delta2_wfn_lesser}}^{\textbf{delta2_wfn}} \; = \mathcal{F}_{\textbf{delta2_scheme}} \left(E_{\text{corl},\; \textbf{delta2_wfn}}^{\textbf{delta2_basis}}\right) - \mathcal{F}_{\textbf{delta2_scheme}} \left(E_{\text{corl},\; \textbf{delta2_wfn_lesser}}^{\textbf{delta2_basis}}\right)$
$\delta_{\textbf{delta3_wfn_lesser}}^{\textbf{delta3_wfn}} \; = \mathcal{F}_{\textbf{delta3_scheme}} \left(E_{\text{corl},\; \textbf{delta3_wfn}}^{\textbf{delta3_basis}}\right) - \mathcal{F}_{\textbf{delta3_scheme}} \left(E_{\text{corl},\; \textbf{delta3_wfn_lesser}}^{\textbf{delta3_basis}}\right)$

A translation of this ungainly equation to example [5] below is as follows. In words, this is a double- and triple-zeta 2-point Helgaker-extrapolated CCSD(T) coupled-cluster correlation correction appended to a triple- and quadruple-zeta 2-point Helgaker-extrapolated MP2 correlation energy appended to a SCF/aug-cc-pVQZ reference energy.

$E_{\text{total}}^{\text{CBS}} = \mathcal{F}_{\text{highest_1}} \left(E_{\text{total},\; \text{SCF}}^{\text{aug-cc-pVQZ}}\right) \; + \mathcal{F}_{\text{corl_xtpl_helgaker_2}} \left(E_{\text{corl},\; \text{MP2}}^{\text{aug-cc-pV[TQ]Z}}\right) \; + \delta_{\text{MP2}}^{\text{CCSD(T)}}$
$\delta_{\text{MP2}}^{\text{CCSD(T)}} \; = \mathcal{F}_{\text{corl_xtpl_helgaker_2}} \left(E_{\text{corl},\; \text{CCSD(T)}}^{\text{aug-cc-pV[DT]Z}}\right) - \mathcal{F}_{\text{corl_xtpl_helgaker_2}} \left(E_{\text{corl},\; \text{MP2}}^{\text{aug-cc-pV[DT]Z}}\right)$
