The passage around this formula
Collect the two thresholds into one signed, unit-checked quantity, . a quantity in seconds (or, equivalently, in units of ), invariant under the group action because both of its terms are. Two limits recover ordinary, unconstrained Hayden-Preskill behavior exactly, as any honest extension of that result has to. Remove the conservation law — set = 0 — and there is no eigenspace structure left for a heading to hide behind; whatever continuous label survives becomes an ordinary classical parameter encoded in radiation no differently than the qubit’s own logical content, and . Alternatively, keep the conservation law but grant the two parties an…

Addition combines quantities; subtraction measures the signed difference between them. Parentheses show what is combined before the rest of the expression is evaluated.
