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, purely structural check follows from the same shape function without any new arithmetic. Because a derivative-coupled detector’s response carries higher powers of in its numerator than a monopole-coupled detector’s does — the two instruments filter the same field differently, as Moustos’s coupling-type comparison already established [ 9 ] — their normalized spectra are provably different functions of pointwise, even on the identical worldline at the identical acceleration. Two distinct, non-coincident probability densities have nonzero total variation distance between them as a matter of definition, with no integral needing to be evaluated to know this. So …

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