Nondegenerate increments of the constructed Brownian bridge #
An evaluation difference has variance d * (1 - d), where d is the distance
between its two unit-interval times. For 0 < d < 1 its Gaussian law has no
atoms. The exclusions are essential: equal times and the pair of endpoints
both give a deterministic zero difference.

Differences of evaluations are Gaussian under the actual continuous bridge law.
The variance of an individual bridge evaluation.
The increment variance includes the endpoint degeneracy at distance one.
