Aexcess=Ag∖Au(g,s)A_{\mathrm{excess}}=A_g\setminus A_u(g,s)

Why this formula appears here

Let user-intended authority be AuA_u and agent-held authority be AgA_g . The dangerous excess is Aexcess=Ag∖Au(g,s)A_{\mathrm{excess}}=A_g\setminus A_u(g,s). where intended authority depends on goal g and state s , not merely user identity.
