Tail-conditioned tree walk paths #
The joint endpoints and cut of the first long block converge by a full-sequence Skorokhod representation localized at a deterministic source horizon. K02 coding and the uniform closing comparison identify the tail-conditioned tree-path limit on every positive horizon.
Uniform closing error between the tree path and the closed path (transfers to J1 with the identity time change).
The closing estimate also bounds the Skorokhod distance by the identity time change.
Measurability (a.e.) of the extraction triple under the iid law.
Joint endpoint/cut convergence of the first long block (retained for K14).
Tail walk path theorem (K05b main theorem). For every T > 0 the tail-conditioned tree
path on [0,T] converges weakly to the excursion under N(· | ζ > 1) restricted to [0,T].
Form consumed by K07: along an unbounded sequence, for a ∈ (0,1). There is
deliberately no admissibility hypothesis: inclusive tail conditioning is not exact-size
conditioning.
