Where the article explains it

Because $h^{(i)}$ and $h^{(j)}$ are disjoint by construction, worker i ’s error cannot enter worker j ’s context directly — it can only reach the supervisor, and only in whatever compressed form the worker chooses to report.

The passage around this formula

Because $h^{(i)}$ and $h^{(j)}$ are disjoint by construction, worker i ’s error cannot enter worker j ’s context directly — it can only reach the supervisor, and only in whatever compressed form the worker chooses to report. That disjointness is the formal reason this pattern offers stronger containment than…
