Why this formula appears here
is a real number in units of energy for every fine state : how much the coarse description, evaluated through pulled back along , disagrees with the fine description’s own , for that specific state. Because expectation values determine a Hermitian operator uniquely — two Hermitian operators with the same trace against every density matrix are the same operator — the strongest statement follows at once: = 0 for every fine state if and only if = 0 as an operator identity, that is, if and only if = exactly. Energy is preserved for every possible input under that one algebraic condition, never as a statistical…

Passive relabeling is one degenerate case; the other is simpler still. Let be the identity channel, = , = : no relabeling, no discarding, the coarse description simply is the fine one. Then trivially = 0 . Nothing in the paragraphs above required that; it follows on inspection. But the triviality is the point, because this is the operator-language shadow of the oldest and most secure fact the subject has. A system evolving under its own Hamiltonian, with nothing coarse-grained away and nothing relabeled, conserves that Hamiltonian’s own expectation value exactly, because the Hamiltonian generates its own time evolution and commutes with…
