With a fixed numerator, increasing a nonzero denominator reduces the fraction. Read it with the definitions, units, and assumptions supplied by the article.

What the article says around this equation

so the adapter into the exponential ledger is Γ=Cκ2\Gamma=\frac{C\kappa}{2}. Here C is their dimensionless decohering flux, κ\kappa is surface gravity with inverse-time units in the chosen normalization, and T is the associated Killing time. Their calculation fixes the numerical factor absent from earlier scaling estimates and evaluates C for an observer on the symmetry axis of a Kerr black hole [ 3 ] . The information equations above neither alter C nor derive κ\kappa . They translate a verified overlap into operational thresholds.
