Law of the excursion straddling a fixed time #
Predictable compensation and the passage potential identify the joint law of the start, lifetime and normalized shape. The normalized shape is independent of the first two coordinates, and the start has the generalized arcsine density.

Joint law (path part): ((g_t, d_t - g_t), normalized straddling excursion) has
the product law straddleLaw ⊗ unitExcursionLaw: the normalized excursion is independent of
(g_t, d_t) with the unit excursion law, and (g_t, ζ_t) has the explicit density from
compensation and the lifetime density.
Law of (g_t, ζ_t) is straddleLaw.
Blueprint statement: normalizeExc of the straddling excursion has the unit law.
