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

Return to the genuine coarse-graining set aside earlier: Λ(ρ)\Lambda(\rho) = TrB\mathrm{Tr}_B[ρ\rho] , Hc\mathcal H_c = HS\mathcal H_S , HcH_c = HSH_S . The dual embeds a system observable back into the full space without touching the bath, Λ†(HS)\Lambda^\dagger(H_S) = HSH_S ⊗\otimes IBI_B , so
