Uniform finite-grid minimum indices of the stable bridge #
Strict-prefix absolute continuity excludes equal values at distinct grid times. Cyclic increment exchangeability then makes the unique grid minimum index uniform.

Distinct times in the grid excluding time one are strictly ordered.
Grid values excluding the duplicate terminal endpoint are almost surely distinct.
