Remember that "random" means utterly discontinuous functions of time.

No. Most probabilistic models are continuous. You should study Itô's work to see what is really going on.

Itoh is over my head. I have to work for a living, and have never had time for such things, nor much aptitude. But isn't Itoh talking quite a bit about spaces that are quite filled, if I am understanding what that means? I am talking about 10^31 points in a space with the number of dimensions equal to the number of possible variations in life so far on Earth. Are those filled when one point per space even is unlikely?

My reply used "spaces" wrong. I meant the individual coordinant planes, intersections of two of the axes, not spaces. Shoot, my everyday math is Excel!
