Where the article explains it
e is the identity orientation, is a unitary representation of G , and is the chosen fiducial state.
The passage around this formula
This is a definition. e is the identity orientation, is a unitary representation of G , and is the chosen fiducial state. Nothing in the equation makes g absolute. Changing the reference frame by h changes the coordinate label and representation together.
