I parsed it as 'you won't be able to update.'

You interpreted "immobilize" as "inability to perform a Bayesian update"? I think that is unlikely given that he says "you will be incapable of going somewhere without your cache of notes" which seems to clearly imply a much more (though not completely) literal, physical meaning of immobilization.
