Equation 44 · Part 2 · How Fast Can a Horizon Learn Which Path You Took?

Symbol delta

Treceipt(δ)=inf⁡{tc:Iirr(tc)≥1−δ}.T_{\rm receipt}(\delta)= \inf\{t_c:I_{\rm irr}(t_c)\geq1-\delta\}.
δ\delta

What this part means

delta is an argument of the function-like quantity on the left; its role is set by that function’s stated inputs.

The passage around this formula

Finally, the proposed horizon receipt time is Treceipt(δ)=inf⁡{tc:Iirr(tc)≥1−δ}T_{\rm receipt}(\delta)= \inf\{t_c:I_{\rm irr}(t_c)\geq1-\delta\}. These are proposed definitions, not results from the 2025 optimization paper. They deliberately make admissible control part of the quantity. If A\mathcal A grants arbitrary global unitaries on the horizon, the record can become fictitiously erasable. If it permits only “do nothing,” receipt time collapses into an ordinary decay threshold. A physically useful answer must live between those caricatures.

A variable is a named place for a value. Its letter is a local label: x can mean position in one formula and a data point in another.
