Statement (paper)

With r=d⌈log⁡2(n+2)⌉r=d\lceil\log_2(n+2)\rceil, Δ=2−r\Delta=2^{-r}, L=⌈C0B+r+3H−1⌉L=\left\lceil\frac{C_0B+r+3}{H-1}\right\rceil, and zz the all-primary copy of the start at stage LL, one has r,L=O(B)r,L=O(B) and 0≤pM(x)−WL(z)≤Δ/80\le p_{\mathcal M}(x)-W_L(z)\le\Delta/8, for every acceptance probability pM(x)p_{\mathcal M}(x) (with no promise). Moreover, there is a fixed CNC_N such that all the resulting stage domains are bounded by N=2CNBN=2^{C_NB}.

In plain English

With r=d⌈log⁡2(n+2)⌉r=d\lceil\log_2(n+2)\rceil, Δ=2−r\Delta=2^{-r} and L=⌈(C0B+r+3)/(H−1)⌉L=\lceil (C_0B+r+3)/(H-1)\rceil, the reward WL(z)W_L(z) at the all-primary start copy zz satisfies 0≤pM(x)−WL(z)≤Δ/80\le p_{\mathcal M}(x)-W_L(z)\le\Delta/8 for every input, with no promise on pM(x)p_{\mathcal M}(x). Also r,L=O(B)r,L=O(B), and all stage domains are bounded by N=2CNBN=2^{C_NB} for a fixed CNC_N.

Why it's here

This fixes the stage LL and precision Δ\Delta so that the hierarchy reward is a one-sided approximation to the acceptance probability within Δ/8\Delta/8. It does so by applying the geometric error bound ∣V0∣2−(H−1)l|V_0|2^{-(H-1)l} from the hierarchy-reward proposition to the reduced system of the model-reduction lemma, with LL chosen large enough to make that error at most Δ/8\Delta/8. The sizes r,L=O(B)r,L=O(B) and N=2CNBN=2^{C_NB} keep all later digit and address computations within O(B)O(B) bits, which the truncation step relies on.
Classified routine:
Direct parameter bookkeeping: it plugs the stage choice L into the geometric error bound |V_0|2^{-(H-1)l} of the hierarchy-reward proposition, applied to the reduced system from the model-reduction lemma, and checks that the sizes are O(B).
