What this part means
The lower label selects a particular version, component, or indexed member of the quantity. For example, x₀ and xₜ can be values at different positions.
Its job in the formula
A subscript distinguishes a version, component, step, or member of a quantity. It does not automatically mean multiplication.

The passage around this formula
A second limit worth naming, because it is where the eternal-acceleration answer above starts to strain, is slow time dependence. Barbado and Visser worked out the response of a detector whose acceleration a() varies with proper time, expanding in powers of , , and higher proper-time derivatives of the acceleration [ 8 ] . At leading order, wherever the acceleration changes slowly compared to the local orthogonalization timescale it sets for itself, the detector reports the instantaneous Unruh temperature ) at each moment, as though briefly and locally eternal. This adiabatic recovery is the second known limit this construction inherits rather than derives: it…

A subscript is a label attached below a symbol. It often selects a time step, component, category, or member of a sequence.
