Section 4.2 says:

Basically, we define TOTP as TOTP = HOTP(K, T), where T is an integer
and represents the number of time steps between the initial counter
time T0 and the current Unix time.

It should say:

We define TOTP as TOTP = HOTP(K, T), where T is an integer
and represents the number of time steps between the initial counter
time T0 and the current Unix time.

Notes:

As mentioned in a previous errata, starting a sentence with
`Basically' is often considered bad form. Qualifiers such as
basically add nothing to the sentence and should generally be
avoided.
