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

Define A(tc)\mathcal A(t_c) as a preregistered set of physically admissible future protocols after the cutoff. It must specify which controls Alice retains, their duration, energy, acceleration, localization, and boundary conditions. For each u∈\inA(tc)\mathcal A(t_c) , let ρ0,Hu\rho^{u}_{0,H} and ρ1,Hu\rho^{u}_{1,H} be the completed conditional states on the declared horizon algebra. Then define an irreducible distinguishability envelope
