      1×10^6

      Or more seriously: The value of whatever whatever variable you where measuring at the beginning of your experiment.

      It’s a reference point. If you’re going to change a variable in an experiment, you need to know what you started from in order to tell if the observation you make at the completion of the experiment is significant or not.
