Where the article explains it

$\bar F$ is everything except fragment F , including the remaining environment; $\mathcal U(\rho)$ =U $\rho$ $U^\dagger$ in a closed unitary model.

The passage around this formula

This equation defines what the observer receives. $\bar F$ is everything except fragment F , including the remaining environment; $\mathcal U(\rho)$ =U $\rho$ $U^\dagger$ in a closed unitary model. The trace is not an assertion that the discarded systems cease to exist. It says the fragment observer has no access to them.
