The passage around this formula

Collect the ledger. N⊥N_\perp[Γ\Gamma] , 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 ElocE_{\rm loc}\,dτ\tau=E∞E_\infty\,dt is an exact consequence of the definition of Killing energy in a static spacetime, proven here for the specific case of N⊥N_\perp[Γ\Gamma] 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.
