Pathwise passage intervals #
Order and window-infimum facts for the passage process. These facts precede the use of uniqueness of the minimum on rational windows in the excursion-support argument (J. Bertoin, Lévy Processes, Cambridge University Press, 1996, Chapter VII).
The set of positive jump levels of the passage process: {x > 0 | T_{x-} < T_x}.

Creeping at every level makes the passage process strictly increasing.
Strict increase separates the passage time at one level from the left passage time at every larger level.
At a positive level the left passage endpoint is positive, and the path approaches the barrier there from the left. No minimum-uniqueness theorem is used.
A window containing a left passage endpoint, and ending before the right endpoint, has infimum equal to the passage barrier.
Stable paths creep simultaneously at all passage levels, including level zero.
