What this part means

Divide the expression above the line by the one below it.

Its job in the formula

The expression above the fraction bar is divided by the complete expression below it. The denominator must not be zero.

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 :
