The passage around this formula

Define the object this paper needs: for a worldline Γ\Gamma traced by a processor, with instantaneous mean energy above its own ground state ⟨\langle H(τ\tau)⟩\rangle - E0(τ)E_0(\tau) measured in the processor’s own comoving rest frame at proper time τ\tau , the cumulative orthogonalization count is
