What this part means

a map from pairs of “treaty configurations” — worldline, field state, coupling type, and the gap/switching pair used to build the spectrum — to the real interval [0,1].

Where the article explains it

$D_{\rm det}$ is a map from pairs of “treaty configurations” — worldline, field state, coupling type, and the gap/switching pair used to build the spectrum — to the real interval [0,1] ; it carries no physical units, because it is built entirely from normalized probability densities over $\Omega$ , whose own units of inverse time cancel between numerator and denominator of every term in the integral.

The passage around this formula

…or moving at different speeds, experience the same coordinate-time interval as different amounts of proper time, and building $\Omega$ from coordinate time instead of proper time would inject that redshift directly into $D_{\rm det}$ as a spurious “particle disagreement” that is really just two clocks running at different rates. The fourth is the switching profile $\chi(\tau)$ : its total duration and its smoothness both leave fingerprints in $\mathcal F_x(\Omega)$ that have nothing to do with the trajectory, as the…
