Exact cancellation of the occupation before an excursion start #
A valid excursion cut adds no new minimum before its start. Splitting the occupation at the start therefore gives an exact additive identity for every cutoff, including zero.
Exact finite-cutoff cancellation (deterministic): if the cut of (T(x-), T(x)) is valid,
then for every cutoff ε and every age u ≤ T(x) - T(x-), the host approximation at
T(x-) + u is the host approximation at T(x-) plus the approximation of the jump excursion at
age u (no correction term: the pre-start integrands coincide).
The chosen cutoffs approach zero from above, including the fallback parameter branch.
Raw height of a jump excursion (deterministic): with a valid cut and a vanishing
pre-start approximation at T(x-), the universal raw height of the excursion at age
u ≤ T(x) - T(x-) is the host's universal raw height at T(x-) + u.
