The passage around this formula

What is PROPOSED is the packaging: treating hover cost, cooling cost, and communication cost as three additional, independently trackable terms that must be added to N⊥N_\perp[Γ\Gamma] before any claim about a distant experimenter’s actual resource advantage is meaningful, and showing, for the specific Schwarzschild, Kerr-ergosphere, and free-fall cases examined here, that each candidate route to an advantage is closed by a different term: the static route by divergent support acceleration, the free-fall route by tidal disruption bounded by the observed mass spectrum of real black holes, and the Kerr-ergosphere route by the ordinary energy accounting of the Penrose process itself.
