What the article says around this equation

This model has an explicit conservation ceiling built in: it cannot be extended past the compass’s own total intrinsic Fisher information FQ(0)F_Q^{(0)} = 4Var⁡\operatorname{Var}J^\hat J/ℏ2\hbar^2 , since no amount of radiation can reveal more about g than the original state ever carried. A tolerance δ\delta tighter than 1/FQ(0)\sqrt{F_Q^{(0)}} is not a slower recovery — it is a request for better precision than the compass itself possessed, which no observer, inside or outside any horizon, could ever meet. Within that ceiling, tG(δ)t_G(\delta) grows toward the hole’s full evaporation lifetime as δ\delta is tightened, which is a specific, checkable form of the “information remnant” Nakata, Wakakuwa, and Koashi found…

Within that ceiling, tG(δ)t_G(\delta) grows toward the hole’s full evaporation lifetime as δ\delta is tightened, which is a specific, checkable form of the “information remnant” Nakata, Wakakuwa, and Koashi found directly in their symmetry-constrained analysis of the Hayden-Preskill protocol: a residue that a purely logical decoder never has to wait for, because it was never entitled to it in the first place [ 8 ] .
