Equation 32 · Part 2 · The Entry a Relabeling Cannot Write
Symbol H_c
What this part means
wrong, does not touch the total energy of any closed system, and does not by itself explain where a nonzero reading comes from.
Its job in the formula
is an argument of the function-like quantity on the left; its role is set by that function’s stated inputs.

Where the article explains it
It does not propose that or is wrong, does not touch the total energy of any closed system, and does not by itself explain where a nonzero reading comes from; it only names, precisely and checkably, how large the disagreement is between two fully specified descriptions.
The passage around this formula
is a real number in units of energy for every fine state : how much the coarse description, evaluated through pulled back along , disagrees with the fine description’s own , for that specific state. Because expectation values determine a Hermitian operator uniquely — two Hermitian operators with the same trace against every density matrix are the same operator — the strongest statement…
