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

Helstrom’s binary decision theory supplies the minimum average probability of guessing the wrong path: pe(T)=1−D(T)2=1−1−V(T)22p_{\rm e}(T)=\frac{1-D(T)}{2} =\frac{1-\sqrt{1-V(T)^2}}{2}. For the balanced pure-state problem, the minimum-error measurement induces a symmetric binary channel. Its recovered decision information is
