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 third regime sits between the first two and needs its own treatment rather than being folded into either. Nothing here is discarded — = still — but the relabeling itself now carries explicit time dependence, because the “coarse” observer describes the same system from a frame in motion relative to the frame that defines : a rotating platform, a driven interaction picture, a magnet ramping in time. Let U(t) be the corresponding time-dependent unitary and |'(t) := U(t)| , with | solving i\, d|/dt = | . Differentiating the product and using U = I gives
Learn the underlying idea
A subscript is a label attached below a symbol. It often selects a time step, component, category, or member of a sequence.
