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
That reversal is the honest kill criterion for the headline claim. does not vanish under fair resource matching — both thresholds are built from the same radiation, collected by the same observer, under the same scrambling dynamics — so it is not a decoder artifact in that sense. It does, however, depend on a joint choice of and that this article has no privileged way to fix, and for a sufficiently coarse compass paired with a sufficiently strict qubit fidelity, the ordering in the title simply does not hold. The correct statement is conditional: for comparably stringent, no-external-frame tolerances on both sides, an old black hole returns an anonymous qubit…
Learn the underlying idea
A subscript is a label attached below a symbol. It often selects a time step, component, category, or member of a sequence.
