Why this formula appears here
Two limits inside this one formula answer different questions about how confidently the ledger can be interpreted. First, an uncorrelated, non-interacting bath: set = 0 and let = |b b| for any system state and any bath eigenstate |b with |b = |b . Then = for every choice of whatsoever — a pure constant, entirely independent of what the system is doing, unambiguously assignable to a named, located pile of energy sitting in a part of the world the coarse description agreed in advance not to look at. Nothing is missing in any troubling sense here; the coarse observer is simply declining…
