The passage around this formula
That second identity is the entire resolution in miniature, and it is worth deriving [] both ways to see it operate. Hold the local energy budget fixed at =' (a battery physically at the processor, delivering a fixed amount of locally measured energy) over a proper interval : . Now hold the asymptotic Killing energy fixed instead, at = \,' (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 t = / :
