The passage around this formula

Suppose verification functions $v_1$ , $\dots$ , $v_m$ each observe a projection of changed state s' . Acceptance is $\operatorname{accept}(s') = \mathbb{1}\!\left[ \bigwedge_{i=1}^{m} v_i(s')=1 \right] \cdot u(s')$ . where u(s') represents required human or institutional authorization. Even if every $v_i$ passes, the false-accept probability is not zero because the conjunction covers only encoded properties. Correlated checks can repeat the same blind spot.
