The passage around this formula

Nothing about this identity is a new conservation law, and it should not be oversold as one. It is the same discipline that already governs any energy-conversion bookkeeping in general relativity — the reason, for instance, that a photon climbing out of a well arrives redshifted by exactly the factor it was blueshifted falling in, with no leftover to spend — applied here to a resource, orthogonalization count, that is not itself an energy but is built multiplicatively from one. The identity is a consistency check on the definition of N⊥N_\perp[Γ\Gamma] , confirming the object was built correctly, not a physical discovery in its own right. The physical content of this article is entirely in the…
