The passage around this formula

…not a bound over an entire family of channels, but one exact, state-dependent number for one fully named channel and one fully named pair of Hamiltonians, checkable rather than merely bounded. The adjoint identity behind DΛD_\Lambda is elementary; the discipline is in never letting that number answer a question its construction did not license, a discipline the remaining sections exist to enforce.
