Equation 145 · Part 1 · The Entry a Relabeling Cannot Write

Symbol Δ E_Lambda

ΔEΛ(ρ)\Delta E_\Lambda(\rho)
ΔEΛ\Delta E_\Lambda

What this part means

a number attached to one named channel and one named coarse Hamiltonian, not an observer-independent fact about “the” missing energy.

Its job in the formula

Δ ELE_Lambda is a part of this expression. Its role is fixed by the surrounding article and by the operations shown in the formula.

Where the article explains it

Δ\Delta EΛ(ρ)E_\Lambda(\rho) is a number attached to one named channel and one named coarse Hamiltonian, not an observer-independent fact about “the” missing energy.

The passage around this formula

The honest limitation is not in any of those checks; it is in what the construction was never built to promise. Δ\Delta EΛ(ρ)E_\Lambda(\rho) is a number attached to one named channel and one named coarse Hamiltonian, not an observer-independent fact about “the” missing energy. A different, equally legitimate choice of Λ\Lambda — a different split of which few collective degrees of freedom count as “the system,” or…
