The passage around this formula
Collect the ledger. [] , the cumulative orthogonalization count, is an exact and dimensionless consequence of the Levitin-Toffoli bound integrated over proper time, valid without approximation in the quasi-static driving regime and bounded above by the sharper Deffner-Lutz result outside it — that piece is DERIVED. The identity \,d=\,dt is an exact consequence of the definition of Killing energy in a static spacetime, proven here for the specific case of [] rather than asserted by analogy — also DERIVED. That no energy-convention bookkeeping can extract a net gain from this identity is a direct corollary, not an assumption.

A variable is a named place for a value. Its letter is a local label: x can mean position in one formula and a data point in another.
