.nw i { --dcss-formula: calc(var(--dcss-input) * var(--dcss-input) - 2); --dcss-slope: calc(2 * var(--dcss-input)); }

Notes

Each call takes your own formula, written once as --dcss-formula in terms of --dcss-input. A .dcss-solve with data-dcss-steps="n" halves the range n times, one nested element a step, and BASICSS writes those elements for you: npx basicss page.html -o built.html.
