The passage around this formula

That second identity is the entire resolution in miniature, and it is worth deriving N⊥N_\perp[Γ\Gamma] both ways to see it operate. Hold the local energy budget fixed at ElocE_{\rm loc}=E0E_0' (a battery physically at the processor, delivering a fixed amount of locally measured energy) over a proper interval Δ\Deltaτ\tau : N⊥=2πℏE0′ ΔτN_\perp = \frac{2}{\pi\hbar}E_0'\,\Delta\tau. Now hold the asymptotic Killing energy fixed instead, at E∞E_\infty = f\sqrt{f}\,E0E_0' (the amount of energy it would cost a distant experimenter, at infinity, to deliver that same physical resource down to radius r ), and integrate over the corresponding coordinate interval Δ\Delta t = Δ\Deltaτ\tau/f\sqrt f :
