What does "AR" mean (as in .64AR)?

Thanks in advance.
In easy to understand language:

Area to Ratio. It is the size of the turbine housing (hot side). A smaller A\R will spool quicker, cap top end power depending on the engine flow characteristics, and if too small it can overboost\spike.

A larger A\R is the opposite.
