Integrable discounted cumulative clocks #
The half-rate first-moment bound gives product integrability. This precedes and justifies conversion from extended integrals to the actual Stieltjes real integrals.

A nonnegative process with an exponential first-moment bound has an integrable more rapidly discounted time-path integral.
Discounting the auxiliary clock gives an integrable time-path function at every rate.
The occupation cumulative functions satisfy the same discounted product integrability.
Discounted clock increments are integrable on the time-path product.
The actual discounted Stieltjes tail equals the cumulative time integral almost surely.
The discounted Stieltjes tail is integrable at every positive rate.
Almost-everywhere measurability of the discounted tail (everywhere measurability of the
Stieltjes totalization of a raw limsup clock is not needed downstream; exact measurability, if
required later, comes from the totalized clock of the identification step).
