What this part means

The lower label selects a particular version, component, or indexed member of the quantity. For example, x₀ and xₜ can be values at different positions.

Its job in the formula

A subscript distinguishes a version, component, step, or member of a quantity. It does not automatically mean multiplication.

The passage around this formula

​ 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 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 ] .
