What this part means

arbitrary on its own — each is anchored to a cited, checkable piece of theory, and the crossover tolerance $\delta^\ast$ is computed, not chosen after the fact to produce a headline.

Its job in the formula

$t_G$ is a part of this expression. Its role is fixed by the surrounding article and by the operations shown in the formula.

Where the article explains it

Neither $t_L$ nor $t_G$ is arbitrary on its own — each is anchored to a cited, checkable piece of theory, and the crossover tolerance $\delta^\ast$ is computed, not chosen after the fact to produce a headline.

The passage around this formula

…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 $t_G$ $\to$ $t_L$ . Alternatively, keep the conservation law but grant the two parties an unlimited, pre-shared external reference frame: Kitaev, Mayers, and Preskill’s simulation result then removes the alignment problem entirely, since the superselection rule stops restricting what the decoding party…
