For an arithmetic function $f$ that is multiplicative and satisfies $|f(n)|\le 1$, defineOne form of Halász theorem gives, for $x,T\ge 2$,Thus a large mean requires small pretentious distance from some Archimedean character. The parameter range matters: $M_f$ minimizes over a bounded interval of real numbers $t$, and the final term accounts for that cutoff.^[ref]

For multiplicative functions $f,g$ bounded in modulus by one, their pretentious distance up to $x\ge 2$ isIt compares their values on prime numbers, weighting smaller primes more heavily. It need not be a metric: values away from primes are invisible, and $\mathbb{D}(f,f;x)$ can be positive when $|f(p)|<1$. For unit-modulus prime values it has the precise prime-restriction metric for pretentious distance interpretation.^[ref]
