From 542806b747eea55c9eab705c5dd3479a3e1c63b6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Seongho Bae Date: Sun, 23 Aug 2026 05:24:30 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 01/53] feat(psychometric): recover Driver later-occasion variance of predetermined T0VAR MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Map the Driver, Oud, and Voelkle (2017, Eq. 3–5 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion) later-occasion variance of free T0VAR as trait + e^{2aΔt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B/a)²v. Trait and addedTIPREDVAR do not enter Q_Δt. Setting p_0 = −q/(2a) recovers the stationary later map. Stationary later variance, free discrete evolution of trait+p_0+added, and p_0 itself remain refused as this composition. Observed later variance is λ² of that map plus θ + ψ. Growing processes with a ≥ 0 are kept when the TI contribution is zero. --- ARCHITECTURE.md | 2 +- CHANGELOG.md | 1 + CLAUDE.md | 2 +- crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs | 72 ++ crates/psychometric_core/src/event_time.rs | 959 ++++++++++++++++++ crates/psychometric_core/src/lib.rs | 38 + ...multilevel_event_time_recovery_contract.rs | 412 ++++++++ .../scientific_claim_boundary_contract.rs | 173 ++++ docs/TRACEABILITY.md | 2 +- docs/adr/0005-posterior-esem-dsem.md | 4 +- .../multilevel-event-time-recovery.md | 20 +- 11 files changed, 1673 insertions(+), 12 deletions(-) diff --git a/ARCHITECTURE.md b/ARCHITECTURE.md index 2f42564a8..cd9f024dd 100644 --- a/ARCHITECTURE.md +++ b/ARCHITECTURE.md @@ -61,7 +61,7 @@ boundaries above remain the target modular MSA architecture. | `tepp_simulation` | known-truth temporal/event data generation | | `validation_core` | RMSE, bias, coverage, graph, and Monte Carlo metrics | | `tepp_api` | versioned DTO, schema, and export contracts | -| `psychometric_core` | posterior-aware structural input gates, CWC within/between OLS plus the contextual effect, event-time log-rate, unequal-interval discrete-lag remapping, constant-predictor discrete effect, time-varying-predictor discrete effect (Eq. 14), exact scalar discrete process noise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3), lagged latent covariance and unconditional latent variance (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4), stationary within-subject variance (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 4 as `Δt → ∞`;

Section 4.3 treats the first time point as predetermined when no assumptions are made about the process prior to the initial time point. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is then estimated. The process gradually transitions from the variances of the initial parameters toward those of the parameters when the model is stationary. Equation 3 writes `η(t) = exp(A Δt) η(t0) + … +` the stochastic integral. Equation 4 writes that the integral exhibits covariance `Q_Δt`. The law of total variance on the within-subject state is `e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` are time-invariant between-subject and do not enter that process-noise integral. The later-occasion composition is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v`. Form the evolved free first-occasion variance first, then include the trait, then include the TI extra variance, then add. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not this map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state (`e^{2 a Δt}` of that total plus `Q_Δt`) is not this map. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not this map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the carried `p_0` vanishes and `Q_Δt` approaches `−q / (2 a)`, so the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. The interval must be event time and strictly positive. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that later-occasion observed variance. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not the predetermined later-occasion observed variance. Stationary later-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Still not a Kalman filter, not a matrix `expm`, not ESEM estimation, not DSEM, and not ctsem estimation.

Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state (`e^{2 a Δt} p_stat + Q_Δt`) is not this map. The lagged covariance `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` omits `Q_Δt` and is not this map. `Q_Δt` is not this map. The interval must be event time and strictly positive. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`.

Equation 3 writes `η(t) = exp(A Δt) η(t0) + …`. Equation 4 writes `cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) = A_Δt cov(η_{t-1})`. The contemporaneous constraint is `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` are time-invariant between-subject and do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. The lagged composition is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v`. Form the lagged within-subject covariance first, then include the trait, then include the TI extra variance, then add. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the lagged map approaches contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Those limits are not this finite-lag map. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not this map. `trait + e^{a Δt} p` is not this map when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not this map.

Independent `ε_t` does not enter. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that lagged observed covariance. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` includes `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance.

Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. +- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. - Separate cluster means before within-unit lag. CWC plus an event-time lag is not DSEM. Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series does not isolate the lagged within-person effect (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608); already-centered residuals with irregular event intervals use the exact scalar map. - Do not treat the CWC cluster-mean coefficient as the between-cluster effect. It is the contextual effect `between − within` (Enders & Tofighi, 2007, Table 2, pp. 124–127). - Never use future-available evidence in historical model fits. diff --git a/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs b/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs index bea873adf..17c32d0fc 100644 --- a/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs +++ b/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs @@ -504,6 +504,29 @@ pub enum PsychometricError { /// later-occasion stationary observed variance.

The first-order product `a_yx Δt` is Eq. 14 and the underflow limit of Eq. 12, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. Already-centered residuals may have irregular event intervals. Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series is not the lagged within-person residual (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608). Metric/weak invariance licenses shared metric meaning only. Latent-mean comparison requires strong (equal loading and intercept) or strict invariance (Putnick & Bornstein, 2016, PMC5145197 opened 2026-08-19T22:15Z: scalar is required for latent means; residual invariance is not). Two-observation series have no residual degrees of freedom and cap at strong/scalar; identically-zero OLS residual variance is not strict. This two-group OLS gate is not MGCFA. +The executable multilevel slice is cluster-mean centering (CWC) plus within/between OLS, the CWC contextual effect (`between − within`), and Kish-weighted slopes. Enders and Tofighi (2007, Table 2, pp. 124–127) show that the CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the contextual effect, not the between-cluster effect. It is not DSEM and not RI-CLPM. The executable temporal slice maps a discrete lag through the exact scalar exponential `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time only (Voelkle, Oud, Davidov, & Schmidt, 2012, Eq. 7; Driver, Oud, & Voelkle, 2017, Eq. 3), recovers the forward map `φ(Δt) = exp(a Δt)`, remaps a discrete lag onto another event interval through that log-rate, recovers the exact scalar discrete effect of a constant predictor (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 12) as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows, and in log space when `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z` (`a_yx = 0` is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed), recovers the first-order discrete effect of a time-varying predictor with matched sampling and constancy intervals as `a_yx Δt` (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 14; ZORA accepted manuscript p. 21; not Eq. 12; unmatched intervals fail closed because Oud & Jansen, 2000, is unread), recovers the exact scalar discrete process noise `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3;

Latent-mean comparison requires strong (equal loading and intercept) or strict invariance (Putnick & Bornstein, 2016, PMC5145197 opened 2026-08-19T22:15Z: scalar is required for latent means; residual invariance is not). Two-observation series have no residual degrees of freedom and cap at strong/scalar; identically-zero OLS residual variance is not strict. This two-group OLS gate is not MGCFA.

It is not DSEM, not RI-CLPM, not a random-effects sampler, not a Kalman filter, and not a matrix `expm` implementation. The CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the **contextual** effect, not the between-cluster effect. Discrete lags from different event intervals are not one coefficient. Equation 14 is not Equation 12. Discrete process noise \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the continuous diffusion \(GG^{\top}\). \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is the conditional residual variance, not \(\operatorname{Var}(\eta_{t})\). Finite-interval \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the stationary within-subject variance. Trait variance is not process noise and not the stationary within-subject variance. Measurement-error variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Latent variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Manifest means are not the observed-indicator mean. The latent mean is not the observed-indicator mean. The continuous intercept is not the manifest mean. The first-occasion latent mean is not the evolved latent mean. The continuous intercept is not the discrete mean increment. The first-occasion observed mean is not the evolved observed mean. The contemporaneous `TDPREDEFFECT` impulse is not the continuous intercept, not the time-independent discrete effect, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The time-independent `TIPREDEFFECT` increment is not the continuous intercept, not the contemporaneous impulse, not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14), and not the coefficient `B`. The within-interval `TDPREDEFFECT` carry `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the contemporaneous-impulse observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not the impulse-carry observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` when `u ≠ t`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the impulse-carry observed mean. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the time-independent-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TIPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_b z` is not the Eq. 3 process increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `κ`, and not `M x`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z` and is not that process increment. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TI-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-T0TIPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TDPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `κ`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0` and is not that within-interval impulse carry. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TD-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. Same numbers as `T0TIPREDEFFECT` yield the same product; Table 3 names a different matrix. The evolved-plus-T0TDPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The §7.2 level-change `CINT` `κ = −a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Lasting level change via that `CINT` setting requires `a < 0`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not that `CINT` setting. The Eq. 3 increment of that setting `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps the equilibrium offset `m x`. The §7.2 extra-process contribution `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. Lasting level change via that extra process requires `ε < 0`. Precisely `ε = 0` causes computational problems in the printed specification. The extra-process observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` is not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`, not the contribution, and not the evolved-plus-contribution latent mean. The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. Table 2 `asymCINT` `-κ / a` is the intercept contribution to the stationary process mean. It is not `κ`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. Lasting asymptotic intercept change via that map requires `a < 0`. Page 16 notes that a `T0MEANS` stationarity constraint includes time-independent predictors; that composition is not this intercept-only map. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion mean `-κ / a + −B z / a` is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` is not `τ + λ μ_0`, not `τ + λ(−κ / a)` when `B z ≠ 0`, not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `MANIFESTMEANS`, and not the constrained latent mean. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. +This is two-level OLS and a noiseless scalar continuous-time map. It is not DSEM, not RI-CLPM, not a random-effects sampler, not a Kalman filter, and not a matrix `expm` implementation. The CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the **contextual** effect, not the between-cluster effect. Discrete lags from different event intervals are not one coefficient. Equation 14 is not Equation 12. Discrete process noise \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the continuous diffusion \(GG^{\top}\). \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is the conditional residual variance, not \(\operatorname{Var}(\eta_{t})\). Finite-interval \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the stationary within-subject variance. Trait variance is not process noise and not the stationary within-subject variance. Measurement-error variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Latent variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Manifest means are not the observed-indicator mean. The latent mean is not the observed-indicator mean. The continuous intercept is not the manifest mean. The first-occasion latent mean is not the evolved latent mean. The continuous intercept is not the discrete mean increment. The first-occasion observed mean is not the evolved observed mean. The contemporaneous `TDPREDEFFECT` impulse is not the continuous intercept, not the time-independent discrete effect, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The time-independent `TIPREDEFFECT` increment is not the continuous intercept, not the contemporaneous impulse, not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14), and not the coefficient `B`. The within-interval `TDPREDEFFECT` carry `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the contemporaneous-impulse observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not the impulse-carry observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` when `u ≠ t`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the impulse-carry observed mean. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the time-independent-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TIPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_b z` is not the Eq. 3 process increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `κ`, and not `M x`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z` and is not that process increment. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TI-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-T0TIPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TDPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `κ`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0` and is not that within-interval impulse carry. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TD-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. Same numbers as `T0TIPREDEFFECT` yield the same product; Table 3 names a different matrix. The evolved-plus-T0TDPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The §7.2 level-change `CINT` `κ = −a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Lasting level change via that `CINT` setting requires `a < 0`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not that `CINT` setting. The Eq. 3 increment of that setting `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps the equilibrium offset `m x`. The §7.2 extra-process contribution `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. Lasting level change via that extra process requires `ε < 0`. Precisely `ε = 0` causes computational problems in the printed specification. The extra-process observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` is not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`, not the contribution, and not the evolved-plus-contribution latent mean. The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. Table 2 `asymCINT` `-κ / a` is the intercept contribution to the stationary process mean. It is not `κ`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. Lasting asymptotic intercept change via that map requires `a < 0`.

The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. ## Authoritative sources @@ -74,7 +76,7 @@ Kish, L.

The mean of \(a=\ln(r_{t+\Delta t}/r_t)/\Delta t\) is the exact scalar map. Intervals may be irregular. The helper does not center again. This is not DSEM. @@ -165,6 +169,8 @@ The Voelkle et al.

This is two-group OLS, not MGCFA. Meredith (1993) names remain unread labels. -- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. +- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. - Separate cluster means before within-unit lag. CWC plus an event-time lag is not DSEM. Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series does not isolate the lagged within-person effect (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608); already-centered residuals with irregular event intervals use the exact scalar map. - Do not treat the CWC cluster-mean coefficient as the between-cluster effect. It is the contextual effect `between − within` (Enders & Tofighi, 2007, Table 2, pp. 124–127). - Never use future-available evidence in historical model fits. diff --git a/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs b/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs index 17c32d0fc..71c43e4a1 100644 --- a/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs +++ b/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs @@ -527,6 +527,36 @@ pub enum PsychometricError { /// as predetermined later-occasion observed variance.

The first-order product `a_yx Δt` is Eq. 14 and the underflow limit of Eq. 12, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. Already-centered residuals may have irregular event intervals. Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series is not the lagged within-person residual (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608). Metric/weak invariance licenses shared metric meaning only. Latent-mean comparison requires strong (equal loading and intercept) or strict invariance (Putnick & Bornstein, 2016, PMC5145197 opened 2026-08-19T22:15Z: scalar is required for latent means; residual invariance is not). Two-observation series have no residual degrees of freedom and cap at strong/scalar; identically-zero OLS residual variance is not strict. This two-group OLS gate is not MGCFA. +The executable multilevel slice is cluster-mean centering (CWC) plus within/between OLS, the CWC contextual effect (`between − within`), and Kish-weighted slopes. Enders and Tofighi (2007, Table 2, pp. 124–127) show that the CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the contextual effect, not the between-cluster effect. It is not DSEM and not RI-CLPM. The executable temporal slice maps a discrete lag through the exact scalar exponential `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time only (Voelkle, Oud, Davidov, & Schmidt, 2012, Eq. 7; Driver, Oud, & Voelkle, 2017, Eq. 3), recovers the forward map `φ(Δt) = exp(a Δt)`, remaps a discrete lag onto another event interval through that log-rate, recovers the exact scalar discrete effect of a constant predictor (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 12) as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows, and in log space when `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z` (`a_yx = 0` is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed), recovers the first-order discrete effect of a time-varying predictor with matched sampling and constancy intervals as `a_yx Δt` (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 14; ZORA accepted manuscript p. 21; not Eq. 12; unmatched intervals fail closed because Oud & Jansen, 2000, is unread), recovers the exact scalar discrete process noise `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3;

The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0` and is not that within-interval impulse carry. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TD-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. Same numbers as `T0TIPREDEFFECT` yield the same product; Table 3 names a different matrix. The evolved-plus-T0TDPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The §7.2 level-change `CINT` `κ = −a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Lasting level change via that `CINT` setting requires `a < 0`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not that `CINT` setting. The Eq. 3 increment of that setting `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps the equilibrium offset `m x`. The §7.2 extra-process contribution `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. Lasting level change via that extra process requires `ε < 0`. Precisely `ε = 0` causes computational problems in the printed specification. The extra-process observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` is not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`, not the contribution, and not the evolved-plus-contribution latent mean. The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. Table 2 `asymCINT` `-κ / a` is the intercept contribution to the stationary process mean. It is not `κ`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. Lasting asymptotic intercept change via that map requires `a < 0`. Page 16 notes that a `T0MEANS` stationarity constraint includes time-independent predictors; that composition is not this intercept-only map. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion mean `-κ / a + −B z / a` is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` is not `τ + λ μ_0`, not `τ + λ(−κ / a)` when `B z ≠ 0`, not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `MANIFESTMEANS`, and not the constrained latent mean. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. +This is two-level OLS and a noiseless scalar continuous-time map. It is not DSEM, not RI-CLPM, not a random-effects sampler, not a Kalman filter, and not a matrix `expm` implementation. The CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the **contextual** effect, not the between-cluster effect. Discrete lags from different event intervals are not one coefficient. Equation 14 is not Equation 12. Discrete process noise \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the continuous diffusion \(GG^{\top}\). \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is the conditional residual variance, not \(\operatorname{Var}(\eta_{t})\). Finite-interval \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the stationary within-subject variance. Trait variance is not process noise and not the stationary within-subject variance. Measurement-error variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Latent variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Manifest means are not the observed-indicator mean. The latent mean is not the observed-indicator mean. The continuous intercept is not the manifest mean. The first-occasion latent mean is not the evolved latent mean. The continuous intercept is not the discrete mean increment. The first-occasion observed mean is not the evolved observed mean. The contemporaneous `TDPREDEFFECT` impulse is not the continuous intercept, not the time-independent discrete effect, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The time-independent `TIPREDEFFECT` increment is not the continuous intercept, not the contemporaneous impulse, not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14), and not the coefficient `B`. The within-interval `TDPREDEFFECT` carry `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the contemporaneous-impulse observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not the impulse-carry observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` when `u ≠ t`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the impulse-carry observed mean. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the time-independent-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TIPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_b z` is not the Eq. 3 process increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `κ`, and not `M x`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z` and is not that process increment. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TI-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-T0TIPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TDPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `κ`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0` and is not that within-interval impulse carry. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TD-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. Same numbers as `T0TIPREDEFFECT` yield the same product; Table 3 names a different matrix. The evolved-plus-T0TDPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The §7.2 level-change `CINT` `κ = −a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Lasting level change via that `CINT` setting requires `a < 0`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not that `CINT` setting. The Eq. 3 increment of that setting `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps the equilibrium offset `m x`. The §7.2 extra-process contribution `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. Lasting level change via that extra process requires `ε < 0`. Precisely `ε = 0` causes computational problems in the printed specification. The extra-process observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` is not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`, not the contribution, and not the evolved-plus-contribution latent mean. The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. Table 2 `asymCINT` `-κ / a` is the intercept contribution to the stationary process mean. It is not `κ`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. Lasting asymptotic intercept change via that map requires `a < 0`. Page 16 notes that a `T0MEANS` stationarity constraint includes time-independent predictors; that composition is not this intercept-only map. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion mean `-κ / a + −B z / a` is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` is not `τ + λ μ_0`, not `τ + λ(−κ / a)` when `B z ≠ 0`, not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `MANIFESTMEANS`, and not the constrained latent mean. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, not later-occasion variance, not `e^{a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. A zero-diffusion carry with `a ≥ 0` is `e^{a Δt} p_0` and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined lagged latent covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. ## Authoritative sources @@ -76,7 +78,7 @@ Kish, L. (1965). *Survey sampling*. John Wiley & Sons. Oud, J. H. L., & Jansen, R.

Equation 4 (p. 5) writes that the integral exhibits covariance \(Q_{\Delta t}=\operatorname{irow}(A^{\#^{-1}}[e^{A^{\#}\Delta t}-I]\operatorname{row}(Q))\) with \(A^{\#}=A\otimes I+I\otimes A\). The homogeneous-process consequence (`ξ`, `z` given) is \(Q_{\Delta t}=\operatorname{cov}(\eta_{ti}\mid\eta_{t-1,i})\) and \(\operatorname{cov}(\eta_{ti},\eta_{t-1,i})=A_{\Delta t}\operatorname{cov}(\eta_{t-1,i})\). The law of total variance on that pair is \(\operatorname{Var}(\eta_{ti})=A_{\Delta t}\operatorname{Var}(\eta_{t-1,i})A_{\Delta t}^{\top}+Q_{\Delta t}\). As \(\Delta t\to\infty\) with stable \(a<0\), Eq. 4 becomes \(-q/(2a)\). The JSS summary names that limit `asymDIFFUSION` and takes it as the total within-subject variance (p. 16). Section 4.3 (pp. 9–10) constrains a stationary `T0VAR` to that model-predicted variance and distinguishes it from a predetermined first occasion. The later-occasion variance of that predetermined first occasion is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). The same section (p. 9) adds a stable trait process with `DRIFT` and `DIFFUSION` fixed to zero; `TRAITVAR` is that time-invariant between-subject variance. Table 3 (p. 13) names `T0TIPREDEFFECT` the effect of time-independent predictors on latents at `T0` and names `TIPREDEFFECT` `B` separately. The JSS article has no numbered §2.2 (2.1 is Continuous time and SEM; §3 follows). This slice takes scalar \(L=1\) (every latent subject to system noise); it does not implement the 0/1 selector matrix and is not a Kalman filter. Discrete auto-effects are strictly positive for finite real drift and interval; the inverse \(a=\ln\varphi/\Delta t\) therefore requires \(\varphi>0\). Binary64 `exp` of a large negative argument is `+0` and is refused as a discrete lag; the same underflow is a vanishing lagged covariance and is kept. When `exp` of a finite `a Δt` overflows on the Table 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` / `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0`, rewrite as `sign(shift) exp(ln|shift| + a Δt)`; an overflowing `a Δt` product fails closed. Integration tests execute those overflow-rewrite arms on the non-`cfg(test)` instantiation (nightly branch coverage on #49 head `d634f58` was 1718/1720 at those two `if !drift_interval.is_finite()` sites).

Equation 4 (p. 5) writes that the integral exhibits covariance \(Q_{\Delta t}=\operatorname{irow}(A^{\#^{-1}}[e^{A^{\#}\Delta t}-I]\operatorname{row}(Q))\) with \(A^{\#}=A\otimes I+I\otimes A\). The homogeneous-process consequence (`ξ`, `z` given) is \(Q_{\Delta t}=\operatorname{cov}(\eta_{ti}\mid\eta_{t-1,i})\) and \(\operatorname{cov}(\eta_{ti},\eta_{t-1,i})=A_{\Delta t}\operatorname{cov}(\eta_{t-1,i})\). The law of total variance on that pair is \(\operatorname{Var}(\eta_{ti})=A_{\Delta t}\operatorname{Var}(\eta_{t-1,i})A_{\Delta t}^{\top}+Q_{\Delta t}\). As \(\Delta t\to\infty\) with stable \(a<0\), Eq. 4 becomes \(-q/(2a)\). The JSS summary names that limit `asymDIFFUSION` and takes it as the total within-subject variance (p. 16). Section 4.3 (pp. 9–10) constrains a stationary `T0VAR` to that model-predicted variance and distinguishes it from a predetermined first occasion. The later-occasion variance of that predetermined first occasion is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). The lagged covariance of that predetermined first occasion is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). The same section (p. 9) adds a stable trait process with `DRIFT` and `DIFFUSION` fixed to zero; `TRAITVAR` is that time-invariant between-subject variance. Table 3 (p. 13) names `T0TIPREDEFFECT` the effect of time-independent predictors on latents at `T0` and names `TIPREDEFFECT` `B` separately. The JSS article has no numbered §2.2 (2.1 is Continuous time and SEM; §3 follows). This slice takes scalar \(L=1\) (every latent subject to system noise); it does not implement the 0/1 selector matrix and is not a Kalman filter. Discrete auto-effects are strictly positive for finite real drift and interval; the inverse \(a=\ln\varphi/\Delta t\) therefore requires \(\varphi>0\). Binary64 `exp` of a large negative argument is `+0` and is refused as a discrete lag; the same underflow is a vanishing lagged covariance and is kept. When `exp` of a finite `a Δt` overflows on the Table 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` / `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0`, rewrite as `sign(shift) exp(ln|shift| + a Δt)`; an overflowing `a Δt` product fails closed. Integration tests execute those overflow-rewrite arms on the non-`cfg(test)` instantiation (nightly branch coverage on #49 head `d634f58` was 1718/1720 at those two `if !drift_interval.is_finite()` sites). Equations 3–4 of Voelkle et al. (2012) are the discouraged difference-quotient approximation.

Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. +- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. - Separate cluster means before within-unit lag. CWC plus an event-time lag is not DSEM. Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series does not isolate the lagged within-person effect (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608); already-centered residuals with irregular event intervals use the exact scalar map. - Do not treat the CWC cluster-mean coefficient as the between-cluster effect. It is the contextual effect `between − within` (Enders & Tofighi, 2007, Table 2, pp. 124–127). - Never use future-available evidence in historical model fits. diff --git a/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs b/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs index 71c43e4a1..1bb6b7d6d 100644 --- a/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs +++ b/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs @@ -557,6 +557,38 @@ pub enum PsychometricError { /// predetermined lagged observed covariance.

The executable temporal slice maps a discrete lag through the exact scalar exponential `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time only (Voelkle, Oud, Davidov, & Schmidt, 2012, Eq. 7; Driver, Oud, & Voelkle, 2017, Eq. 3), recovers the forward map `φ(Δt) = exp(a Δt)`, remaps a discrete lag onto another event interval through that log-rate, recovers the exact scalar discrete effect of a constant predictor (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 12) as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows, and in log space when `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z` (`a_yx = 0` is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed), recovers the first-order discrete effect of a time-varying predictor with matched sampling and constancy intervals as `a_yx Δt` (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 14; ZORA accepted manuscript p. 21; not Eq. 12; unmatched intervals fail closed because Oud & Jansen, 2000, is unread), recovers the exact scalar discrete process noise `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3;

do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)`, `a = -from_bits(1)` → `0.5`); `a ≥ 0` and finite-interval `Q_Δt` fail closed as that limit), recovers the exact scalar trait-plus-state variance `trait + state` and lagged covariance `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9;

The first-order product `a_yx Δt` is Eq. 14 and the underflow limit of Eq. 12, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. Already-centered residuals may have irregular event intervals. Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series is not the lagged within-person residual (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608). Metric/weak invariance licenses shared metric meaning only. Latent-mean comparison requires strong (equal loading and intercept) or strict invariance (Putnick & Bornstein, 2016, PMC5145197 opened 2026-08-19T22:15Z: scalar is required for latent means; residual invariance is not). Two-observation series have no residual degrees of freedom and cap at strong/scalar; identically-zero OLS residual variance is not strict. This two-group OLS gate is not MGCFA. +The executable multilevel slice is cluster-mean centering (CWC) plus within/between OLS, the CWC contextual effect (`between − within`), and Kish-weighted slopes. Enders and Tofighi (2007, Table 2, pp. 124–127) show that the CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the contextual effect, not the between-cluster effect. It is not DSEM and not RI-CLPM. The executable temporal slice maps a discrete lag through the exact scalar exponential `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time only (Voelkle, Oud, Davidov, & Schmidt, 2012, Eq. 7; Driver, Oud, & Voelkle, 2017, Eq. 3), recovers the forward map `φ(Δt) = exp(a Δt)`, remaps a discrete lag onto another event interval through that log-rate, recovers the exact scalar discrete effect of a constant predictor (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 12) as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows, and in log space when `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z` (`a_yx = 0` is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed), recovers the first-order discrete effect of a time-varying predictor with matched sampling and constancy intervals as `a_yx Δt` (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 14;

Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series is not the lagged within-person residual (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608). Metric/weak invariance licenses shared metric meaning only. Latent-mean comparison requires strong (equal loading and intercept) or strict invariance (Putnick & Bornstein, 2016, PMC5145197 opened 2026-08-19T22:15Z: scalar is required for latent means; residual invariance is not). Two-observation series have no residual degrees of freedom and cap at strong/scalar; identically-zero OLS residual variance is not strict. This two-group OLS gate is not MGCFA.

It is not DSEM, not RI-CLPM, not a random-effects sampler, not a Kalman filter, and not a matrix `expm` implementation. The CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the **contextual** effect, not the between-cluster effect. Discrete lags from different event intervals are not one coefficient. Equation 14 is not Equation 12. Discrete process noise \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the continuous diffusion \(GG^{\top}\). \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is the conditional residual variance, not \(\operatorname{Var}(\eta_{t})\). Finite-interval \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the stationary within-subject variance. Trait variance is not process noise and not the stationary within-subject variance. Measurement-error variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Latent variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Manifest means are not the observed-indicator mean. The latent mean is not the observed-indicator mean. The continuous intercept is not the manifest mean. The first-occasion latent mean is not the evolved latent mean. The continuous intercept is not the discrete mean increment. The first-occasion observed mean is not the evolved observed mean. The contemporaneous `TDPREDEFFECT` impulse is not the continuous intercept, not the time-independent discrete effect, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The time-independent `TIPREDEFFECT` increment is not the continuous intercept, not the contemporaneous impulse, not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14), and not the coefficient `B`. The within-interval `TDPREDEFFECT` carry `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the contemporaneous-impulse observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not the impulse-carry observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` when `u ≠ t`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the impulse-carry observed mean. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the time-independent-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TIPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_b z` is not the Eq. 3 process increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `κ`, and not `M x`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z` and is not that process increment. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TI-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-T0TIPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TDPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `κ`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0` and is not that within-interval impulse carry. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TD-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. Same numbers as `T0TIPREDEFFECT` yield the same product; Table 3 names a different matrix. The evolved-plus-T0TDPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The §7.2 level-change `CINT` `κ = −a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Lasting level change via that `CINT` setting requires `a < 0`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not that `CINT` setting. The Eq. 3 increment of that setting `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps the equilibrium offset `m x`. The §7.2 extra-process contribution `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. Lasting level change via that extra process requires `ε < 0`. Precisely `ε = 0` causes computational problems in the printed specification. The extra-process observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` is not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`, not the contribution, and not the evolved-plus-contribution latent mean. The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. Table 2 `asymCINT` `-κ / a` is the intercept contribution to the stationary process mean. It is not `κ`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. Lasting asymptotic intercept change via that map requires `a < 0`. Page 16 notes that a `T0MEANS` stationarity constraint includes time-independent predictors; that composition is not this intercept-only map. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion mean `-κ / a + −B z / a` is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` is not `τ + λ μ_0`, not `τ + λ(−κ / a)` when `B z ≠ 0`, not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `MANIFESTMEANS`, and not the constrained latent mean. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, not later-occasion variance, not `e^{a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. A zero-diffusion carry with `a ≥ 0` is `e^{a Δt} p_0` and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined lagged latent covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. +This is two-level OLS and a noiseless scalar continuous-time map.

The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-T0TIPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TDPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `κ`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0` and is not that within-interval impulse carry. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TD-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)`.

Same numbers as `T0TIPREDEFFECT` yield the same product; Table 3 names a different matrix. The evolved-plus-T0TDPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The §7.2 level-change `CINT` `κ = −a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Lasting level change via that `CINT` setting requires `a < 0`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not that `CINT` setting. The Eq. 3 increment of that setting `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps the equilibrium offset `m x`. The §7.2 extra-process contribution `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. Lasting level change via that extra process requires `ε < 0`. Precisely `ε = 0` causes computational problems in the printed specification. The extra-process observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` is not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`, not the contribution, and not the evolved-plus-contribution latent mean. The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. Table 2 `asymCINT` `-κ / a` is the intercept contribution to the stationary process mean. It is not `κ`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. Lasting asymptotic intercept change via that map requires `a < 0`. Page 16 notes that a `T0MEANS` stationarity constraint includes time-independent predictors; that composition is not this intercept-only map. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion mean `-κ / a + −B z / a` is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean.

The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, not later-occasion variance, not `e^{a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. A zero-diffusion carry with `a ≥ 0` is `e^{a Δt} p_0` and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined lagged latent covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary first-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not free `p_0`, not lagged covariance, and not later-occasion variance. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay and do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary first-occasion map. As `Δt → 0+` the lagged and later maps approach this composition. Trait-only variance does not require a stable drift. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined first-occasion latent variance, not stationary first-occasion observed variance, and not predetermined later observed variance when `p_0` is free. ## Authoritative sources @@ -177,6 +179,8 @@ The Voelkle et al.

After a later start u the within-subject state variance is e^{2au} p_0 + Q_u. Equation 4 lags that later state as e^{as}(e^{2au} p_0 + Q_u). Trait variance and addedTIPREDVAR do not decay. The composition is trait + e^{as}(e^{2au} p_0 + Q_u) + (B/a)² v. Equation 5 maps that covariance as λ² of it plus ψ; independent ε_t does not enter. Setting p_0 = −q/(2a) recovers the stationary lagged map. First-occasion lagged omits e^{as} Q_u.

Section 4.3 treats the first time point as predetermined when no assumptions are made about the process prior to the initial time point. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is then estimated. Section 4.3 notes that the process gradually transitions from the initial variances toward the stationary variances, and that the initial time point need not reflect the first measurement occasion (`startoffset`). Equation 3 writes `η(t) = exp(A Δt) η(t0) + … +` the stochastic integral. Equation 4 writes `cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) = A_Δt cov(η_{t-1})`. After a later start `u` the within-subject state variance is `e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u`. Lagging that later start over `s` is `e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u)`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` are time-invariant between-subject and do not decay with `e^{a s}`. The lagged composition is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v`. Form the later-start within-subject variance first, then lag that state, then include the trait, then include the TI extra variance, then add. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not this map when `p_0` is free. First-occasion lagged covariance `trait + e^{a s} p_0 + (B / a)² v` omits `e^{a s} Q_u` and is not this map when `u > 0`. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_u` without lagging that later state and is not this map. Evolving the later total as if it were all state (`e^{a s}` of `trait + e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u + (B / a)² v`) is not this map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches first-occasion lagged covariance. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. As `s → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. A zero trait, a zero initial variance, a zero diffusion, and a zero TI contribution is exactly zero. A zero initial variance, a zero diffusion, and a zero TI contribution is exactly the trait. Trait-only variance does not require a stable drift. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite TI extra variance when that contribution is nonzero and fails closed. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Both intervals must be event time and strictly positive. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. The later-start lagged latent covariance is not the later-start lagged observed covariance.

This is two-group OLS, not MGCFA. Meredith (1993) names remain unread labels. -- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. +- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Later-start lagged covariance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T10:27Z). First-occasion lagged omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Later-occasion variance does not lag. Stationary lagged uses `−q / (2 a)`. Decaying the later total is not that map. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²` of it plus `ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. First-occasion lagged observed omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. - Separate cluster means before within-unit lag. CWC plus an event-time lag is not DSEM. Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series does not isolate the lagged within-person effect (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608); already-centered residuals with irregular event intervals use the exact scalar map. - Do not treat the CWC cluster-mean coefficient as the between-cluster effect. It is the contextual effect `between − within` (Enders & Tofighi, 2007, Table 2, pp. 124–127). - Never use future-available evidence in historical model fits. diff --git a/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs b/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs index 1bb6b7d6d..72beac372 100644 --- a/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs +++ b/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs @@ -589,6 +589,43 @@ pub enum PsychometricError { /// as predetermined first-occasion observed variance.

The first-order product `a_yx Δt` is Eq. 14 and the underflow limit of Eq. 12, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. Already-centered residuals may have irregular event intervals. Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series is not the lagged within-person residual (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608). Metric/weak invariance licenses shared metric meaning only. Latent-mean comparison requires strong (equal loading and intercept) or strict invariance (Putnick & Bornstein, 2016, PMC5145197 opened 2026-08-19T22:15Z: scalar is required for latent means; residual invariance is not). Two-observation series have no residual degrees of freedom and cap at strong/scalar; identically-zero OLS residual variance is not strict. This two-group OLS gate is not MGCFA. +The executable multilevel slice is cluster-mean centering (CWC) plus within/between OLS, the CWC contextual effect (`between − within`), and Kish-weighted slopes. Enders and Tofighi (2007, Table 2, pp. 124–127) show that the CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the contextual effect, not the between-cluster effect. It is not DSEM and not RI-CLPM. The executable temporal slice maps a discrete lag through the exact scalar exponential `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time only (Voelkle, Oud, Davidov, & Schmidt, 2012, Eq. 7; Driver, Oud, & Voelkle, 2017, Eq. 3), recovers the forward map `φ(Δt) = exp(a Δt)`, remaps a discrete lag onto another event interval through that log-rate, recovers the exact scalar discrete effect of a constant predictor (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 12) as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows, and in log space when `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z` (`a_yx = 0` is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed), recovers the first-order discrete effect of a time-varying predictor with matched sampling and constancy intervals as `a_yx Δt` (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 14; ZORA accepted manuscript p. 21; not Eq. 12; unmatched intervals fail closed because Oud & Jansen, 2000, is unread), recovers the exact scalar discrete process noise `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3;

The CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the **contextual** effect, not the between-cluster effect. Discrete lags from different event intervals are not one coefficient. Equation 14 is not Equation 12. Discrete process noise \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the continuous diffusion \(GG^{\top}\). \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is the conditional residual variance, not \(\operatorname{Var}(\eta_{t})\). Finite-interval \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the stationary within-subject variance. Trait variance is not process noise and not the stationary within-subject variance. Measurement-error variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Latent variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Manifest means are not the observed-indicator mean. The latent mean is not the observed-indicator mean. The continuous intercept is not the manifest mean. The first-occasion latent mean is not the evolved latent mean. The continuous intercept is not the discrete mean increment. The first-occasion observed mean is not the evolved observed mean. The contemporaneous `TDPREDEFFECT` impulse is not the continuous intercept, not the time-independent discrete effect, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The time-independent `TIPREDEFFECT` increment is not the continuous intercept, not the contemporaneous impulse, not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14), and not the coefficient `B`. The within-interval `TDPREDEFFECT` carry `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the contemporaneous-impulse observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not the impulse-carry observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` when `u ≠ t`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the impulse-carry observed mean. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`.

The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TIPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_b z` is not the Eq. 3 process increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `κ`, and not `M x`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z` and is not that process increment. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TI-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-T0TIPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TDPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `κ`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0` and is not that within-interval impulse carry. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TD-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean.

The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. Same numbers as `T0TIPREDEFFECT` yield the same product; Table 3 names a different matrix. The evolved-plus-T0TDPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The §7.2 level-change `CINT` `κ = −a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Lasting level change via that `CINT` setting requires `a < 0`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not that `CINT` setting. The Eq. 3 increment of that setting `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps the equilibrium offset `m x`. The §7.2 extra-process contribution `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. Lasting level change via that extra process requires `ε < 0`. Precisely `ε = 0` causes computational problems in the printed specification. The extra-process observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` is not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`, not the contribution, and not the evolved-plus-contribution latent mean. The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. Table 2 `asymCINT` `-κ / a` is the intercept contribution to the stationary process mean. It is not `κ`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. Lasting asymptotic intercept change via that map requires `a < 0`. Page 16 notes that a `T0MEANS` stationarity constraint includes time-independent predictors; that composition is not this intercept-only map. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion mean `-κ / a + −B z / a` is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` is not `τ + λ μ_0`, not `τ + λ(−κ / a)` when `B z ≠ 0`, not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `MANIFESTMEANS`, and not the constrained latent mean. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, not later-occasion variance, not `e^{a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. A zero-diffusion carry with `a ≥ 0` is `e^{a Δt} p_0` and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined lagged latent covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary first-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not free `p_0`, not lagged covariance, and not later-occasion variance. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay and do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary first-occasion map. As `Δt → 0+` the lagged and later maps approach this composition. Trait-only variance does not require a stable drift. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined first-occasion latent variance, not stationary first-occasion observed variance, and not predetermined later observed variance when `p_0` is free. +This is two-level OLS and a noiseless scalar continuous-time map. It is not DSEM, not RI-CLPM, not a random-effects sampler, not a Kalman filter, and not a matrix `expm` implementation. The CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the **contextual** effect, not the between-cluster effect. Discrete lags from different event intervals are not one coefficient. Equation 14 is not Equation 12. Discrete process noise \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the continuous diffusion \(GG^{\top}\). \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is the conditional residual variance, not \(\operatorname{Var}(\eta_{t})\). Finite-interval \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the stationary within-subject variance. Trait variance is not process noise and not the stationary within-subject variance. Measurement-error variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Latent variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Manifest means are not the observed-indicator mean. The latent mean is not the observed-indicator mean. The continuous intercept is not the manifest mean. The first-occasion latent mean is not the evolved latent mean. The continuous intercept is not the discrete mean increment. The first-occasion observed mean is not the evolved observed mean. The contemporaneous `TDPREDEFFECT` impulse is not the continuous intercept, not the time-independent discrete effect, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The time-independent `TIPREDEFFECT` increment is not the continuous intercept, not the contemporaneous impulse, not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14), and not the coefficient `B`. The within-interval `TDPREDEFFECT` carry `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the contemporaneous-impulse observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not the impulse-carry observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` when `u ≠ t`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the impulse-carry observed mean. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the time-independent-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TIPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_b z` is not the Eq. 3 process increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `κ`, and not `M x`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z` and is not that process increment. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TI-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-T0TIPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TDPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `κ`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0` and is not that within-interval impulse carry. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TD-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. Same numbers as `T0TIPREDEFFECT` yield the same product; Table 3 names a different matrix. The evolved-plus-T0TDPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The §7.2 level-change `CINT` `κ = −a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Lasting level change via that `CINT` setting requires `a < 0`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not that `CINT` setting. The Eq. 3 increment of that setting `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps the equilibrium offset `m x`. The §7.2 extra-process contribution `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. Lasting level change via that extra process requires `ε < 0`. Precisely `ε = 0` causes computational problems in the printed specification. The extra-process observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` is not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`, not the contribution, and not the evolved-plus-contribution latent mean. The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. Table 2 `asymCINT` `-κ / a` is the intercept contribution to the stationary process mean. It is not `κ`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. Lasting asymptotic intercept change via that map requires `a < 0`. Page 16 notes that a `T0MEANS` stationarity constraint includes time-independent predictors; that composition is not this intercept-only map. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion mean `-κ / a + −B z / a` is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` is not `τ + λ μ_0`, not `τ + λ(−κ / a)` when `B z ≠ 0`, not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `MANIFESTMEANS`, and not the constrained latent mean. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, not later-occasion variance, not `e^{a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. A zero-diffusion carry with `a ≥ 0` is `e^{a Δt} p_0` and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined lagged latent covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary first-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not free `p_0`, not lagged covariance, and not later-occasion variance. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay and do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary first-occasion map. As `Δt → 0+` the lagged and later maps approach this composition. Trait-only variance does not require a stable drift. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined first-occasion latent variance, not stationary first-occasion observed variance, and not predetermined later observed variance when `p_0` is free. The later-start lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` is not first-occasion lagged covariance when `u > 0`, not later-occasion variance, not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, and not `e^{a s}` of the later total. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a s}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches first-occasion lagged covariance. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start lagged latent covariance, not first-occasion lagged observed covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. ## Authoritative sources From 69ffec6425863b2842094ff1b1d6c07d8eee6b5b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Seongho Bae Date: Sun, 23 Aug 2026 11:21:43 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 05/53] feat(psychometric): recover Driver later-start later-occasion variance of predetermined T0VAR MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Driver, Oud, and Voelkle (2017, §4.3 startoffset) note that the process gradually transitions from initial variances toward stationary variances, and that the initial time point need not be the first measurement occasion. After a later start u the within-subject state variance is e^{2au} p_0 + Q_u. Evolving that later start over s is e^{2as}(e^{2au} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s. Chapman–Kolmogorov writes Q_{u+s} = e^{2as} Q_u + Q_s. Trait variance and addedTIPREDVAR do not enter Q_s. The composition is trait + e^{2as}(e^{2au} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B/a)² v. Equation 5 maps that variance as λ² of it plus θ + ψ. Setting p_0 = −q/(2a) recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Later-occasion variance at u omits Q_s. Later-start lagged covariance omits Q_s. Still not a Kalman filter, not a matrix expm, not ESEM estimation, not DSEM, and not ctsem estimation. --- ARCHITECTURE.md | 2 +- CHANGELOG.md | 1 + CLAUDE.md | 2 +- crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs | 126 ++ crates/psychometric_core/src/event_time.rs | 1097 +++++++++++++++++ crates/psychometric_core/src/lib.rs | 53 + ...multilevel_event_time_recovery_contract.rs | 594 +++++++++ .../scientific_claim_boundary_contract.rs | 293 +++++ docs/TRACEABILITY.md | 2 +- docs/adr/0005-posterior-esem-dsem.md | 4 +- .../multilevel-event-time-recovery.md | 14 +- 11 files changed, 2177 insertions(+), 11 deletions(-) diff --git a/ARCHITECTURE.md b/ARCHITECTURE.md index a3ea97f3d..12c8bdeba 100644 --- a/ARCHITECTURE.md +++ b/ARCHITECTURE.md @@ -61,7 +61,7 @@ boundaries above remain the target modular MSA architecture. | `tepp_simulation` | known-truth temporal/event data generation | | `validation_core` | RMSE, bias, coverage, graph, and Monte Carlo metrics | | `tepp_api` | versioned DTO, schema, and export contracts | -| `psychometric_core` | posterior-aware structural input gates, CWC within/between OLS plus the contextual effect, event-time log-rate, unequal-interval discrete-lag remapping, constant-predictor discrete effect, time-varying-predictor discrete effect (Eq. 14), exact scalar discrete process noise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3), lagged latent covariance and unconditional latent variance (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4), stationary within-subject variance (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 4 as `Δt → ∞`;

Section 4.3 treats the first time point as predetermined when no assumptions are made about the process prior to the initial time point. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is then estimated. Section 4.3 notes that the process gradually transitions from the initial variances toward the stationary variances, and that the initial time point need not reflect the first measurement occasion (`startoffset`). Equation 3 writes `η(t) = exp(A Δt) η(t0) + … +` the stochastic integral. Equation 4 writes that the integral exhibits covariance `Q_Δt`. After a later start `u` the within-subject state variance is `e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u`. Evolving that later start over `s` is `e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s`. Chapman–Kolmogorov writes `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`, so the later-occasion map over `u + s` is the same composition. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` are time-invariant between-subject and do not enter `Q_s`. The later-start later-occasion composition is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v`. Form the later-start within-subject variance first, then evolve that state, then include the trait, then include the TI extra variance, then add. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not this map when `p_0` is free. Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s` and is not this map when `s > 0`. Later-start lagged covariance is `e^{a s}` of the later state and omits `Q_s`; it is not this map. Evolving the later total as if it were all state (`e^{2 a s}` of `trait + e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_s`) is not this map. Later-occasion variance over the lag interval alone ignores `startoffset` and omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`; it is not this map when `u > 0`. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance over `s`. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. As `s → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the carried later state vanishes and `Q_s` approaches `−q / (2 a)`, so the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. A zero trait, a zero initial variance, a zero diffusion, and a zero TI contribution is exactly zero. A zero initial variance, a zero diffusion, and a zero TI contribution is exactly the trait. Trait-only variance does not require a stable drift. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite TI extra variance when that contribution is nonzero and fails closed. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Both intervals must be event time and strictly positive. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that later-start later-occasion observed variance. The later-start later-occasion latent variance is not the later-start later-occasion observed variance. Predetermined later observed variance at `u` omits `Q_s` and is not that observed variance when `s > 0`. Later-start lagged observed covariance omits `Q_s` and `θ` and is not that observed variance. Stationary later-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Still not a Kalman filter, not a matrix `expm`, not ESEM estimation, not DSEM, and not ctsem estimation.

Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` are time-invariant between-subject and do not decay with `e^{a s}`. The lagged composition is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v`. Form the later-start within-subject variance first, then lag that state, then include the trait, then include the TI extra variance, then add. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not this map when `p_0` is free. First-occasion lagged covariance `trait + e^{a s} p_0 + (B / a)² v` omits `e^{a s} Q_u` and is not this map when `u > 0`. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_u` without lagging that later state and is not this map. Evolving the later total as if it were all state (`e^{a s}` of `trait + e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u + (B / a)² v`) is not this map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches first-occasion lagged covariance. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. As `s → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. A zero trait, a zero initial variance, a zero diffusion, and a zero TI contribution is exactly zero. A zero initial variance, a zero diffusion, and a zero TI contribution is exactly the trait. Trait-only variance does not require a stable drift. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite TI extra variance when that contribution is nonzero and fails closed. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Both intervals must be event time and strictly positive. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. The later-start lagged latent covariance is not the later-start lagged observed covariance. First-occasion lagged observed covariance omits `e^{a s} Q_u` and is not that observed covariance when `u > 0`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Still not a Kalman filter, not a matrix `expm`, not ESEM estimation, not DSEM, and not ctsem estimation.

This is two-group OLS, not MGCFA. Meredith (1993) names remain unread labels. -- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Later-start lagged covariance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T10:27Z). First-occasion lagged omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Later-occasion variance does not lag. Stationary lagged uses `−q / (2 a)`. Decaying the later total is not that map. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²` of it plus `ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. First-occasion lagged observed omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. +- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`.

CWC plus an event-time lag is not DSEM. Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series does not isolate the lagged within-person effect (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608); already-centered residuals with irregular event intervals use the exact scalar map. - Do not treat the CWC cluster-mean coefficient as the between-cluster effect. It is the contextual effect `between − within` (Enders & Tofighi, 2007, Table 2, pp. 124–127). - Never use future-available evidence in historical model fits. diff --git a/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs b/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs index 72beac372..41eec89f3 100644 --- a/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs +++ b/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs @@ -626,6 +626,48 @@ pub enum PsychometricError { /// as later-start lagged observed covariance.

The first-order product `a_yx Δt` is Eq. 14 and the underflow limit of Eq. 12, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. Already-centered residuals may have irregular event intervals. Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series is not the lagged within-person residual (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608). Metric/weak invariance licenses shared metric meaning only. Latent-mean comparison requires strong (equal loading and intercept) or strict invariance (Putnick & Bornstein, 2016, PMC5145197 opened 2026-08-19T22:15Z: scalar is required for latent means; residual invariance is not). Two-observation series have no residual degrees of freedom and cap at strong/scalar; identically-zero OLS residual variance is not strict. This two-group OLS gate is not MGCFA. +The executable multilevel slice is cluster-mean centering (CWC) plus within/between OLS, the CWC contextual effect (`between − within`), and Kish-weighted slopes. Enders and Tofighi (2007, Table 2, pp. 124–127) show that the CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the contextual effect, not the between-cluster effect. It is not DSEM and not RI-CLPM. The executable temporal slice maps a discrete lag through the exact scalar exponential `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time only (Voelkle, Oud, Davidov, & Schmidt, 2012, Eq. 7; Driver, Oud, & Voelkle, 2017, Eq. 3), recovers the forward map `φ(Δt) = exp(a Δt)`, remaps a discrete lag onto another event interval through that log-rate, recovers the exact scalar discrete effect of a constant predictor (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 12) as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows, and in log space when `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z` (`a_yx = 0` is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed), recovers the first-order discrete effect of a time-varying predictor with matched sampling and constancy intervals as `a_yx Δt` (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 14; ZORA accepted manuscript p. 21; not Eq. 12; unmatched intervals fail closed because Oud & Jansen, 2000, is unread), recovers the exact scalar discrete process noise `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3;

The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. Same numbers as `T0TIPREDEFFECT` yield the same product; Table 3 names a different matrix. The evolved-plus-T0TDPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The §7.2 level-change `CINT` `κ = −a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Lasting level change via that `CINT` setting requires `a < 0`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not that `CINT` setting. The Eq. 3 increment of that setting `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps the equilibrium offset `m x`. The §7.2 extra-process contribution `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. Lasting level change via that extra process requires `ε < 0`. Precisely `ε = 0` causes computational problems in the printed specification. The extra-process observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` is not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`, not the contribution, and not the evolved-plus-contribution latent mean. The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. Table 2 `asymCINT` `-κ / a` is the intercept contribution to the stationary process mean. It is not `κ`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. Lasting asymptotic intercept change via that map requires `a < 0`. Page 16 notes that a `T0MEANS` stationarity constraint includes time-independent predictors; that composition is not this intercept-only map. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion mean `-κ / a + −B z / a` is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` is not `τ + λ μ_0`, not `τ + λ(−κ / a)` when `B z ≠ 0`, not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `MANIFESTMEANS`, and not the constrained latent mean. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, not later-occasion variance, not `e^{a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. A zero-diffusion carry with `a ≥ 0` is `e^{a Δt} p_0` and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined lagged latent covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary first-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not free `p_0`, not lagged covariance, and not later-occasion variance. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay and do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary first-occasion map. As `Δt → 0+` the lagged and later maps approach this composition. Trait-only variance does not require a stable drift. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined first-occasion latent variance, not stationary first-occasion observed variance, and not predetermined later observed variance when `p_0` is free. The later-start lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` is not first-occasion lagged covariance when `u > 0`, not later-occasion variance, not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, and not `e^{a s}` of the later total. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a s}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches first-occasion lagged covariance. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start lagged latent covariance, not first-occasion lagged observed covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. +This is two-level OLS and a noiseless scalar continuous-time map. It is not DSEM, not RI-CLPM, not a random-effects sampler, not a Kalman filter, and not a matrix `expm` implementation. The CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the **contextual** effect, not the between-cluster effect. Discrete lags from different event intervals are not one coefficient. Equation 14 is not Equation 12. Discrete process noise \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the continuous diffusion \(GG^{\top}\). \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is the conditional residual variance, not \(\operatorname{Var}(\eta_{t})\). Finite-interval \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the stationary within-subject variance. Trait variance is not process noise and not the stationary within-subject variance. Measurement-error variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Latent variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Manifest means are not the observed-indicator mean. The latent mean is not the observed-indicator mean. The continuous intercept is not the manifest mean. The first-occasion latent mean is not the evolved latent mean. The continuous intercept is not the discrete mean increment. The first-occasion observed mean is not the evolved observed mean. The contemporaneous `TDPREDEFFECT` impulse is not the continuous intercept, not the time-independent discrete effect, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The time-independent `TIPREDEFFECT` increment is not the continuous intercept, not the contemporaneous impulse, not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14), and not the coefficient `B`. The within-interval `TDPREDEFFECT` carry `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the contemporaneous-impulse observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not the impulse-carry observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` when `u ≠ t`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the impulse-carry observed mean. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the time-independent-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TIPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_b z` is not the Eq. 3 process increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `κ`, and not `M x`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z` and is not that process increment. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TI-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-T0TIPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TDPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `κ`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0` and is not that within-interval impulse carry. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TD-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. Same numbers as `T0TIPREDEFFECT` yield the same product; Table 3 names a different matrix. The evolved-plus-T0TDPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The §7.2 level-change `CINT` `κ = −a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Lasting level change via that `CINT` setting requires `a < 0`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not that `CINT` setting. The Eq. 3 increment of that setting `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps the equilibrium offset `m x`. The §7.2 extra-process contribution `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. Lasting level change via that extra process requires `ε < 0`. Precisely `ε = 0` causes computational problems in the printed specification. The extra-process observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` is not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`, not the contribution, and not the evolved-plus-contribution latent mean. The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. Table 2 `asymCINT` `-κ / a` is the intercept contribution to the stationary process mean. It is not `κ`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. Lasting asymptotic intercept change via that map requires `a < 0`. Page 16 notes that a `T0MEANS` stationarity constraint includes time-independent predictors; that composition is not this intercept-only map. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion mean `-κ / a + −B z / a` is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` is not `τ + λ μ_0`, not `τ + λ(−κ / a)` when `B z ≠ 0`, not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `MANIFESTMEANS`, and not the constrained latent mean. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, not later-occasion variance, not `e^{a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. A zero-diffusion carry with `a ≥ 0` is `e^{a Δt} p_0` and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined lagged latent covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary first-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not free `p_0`, not lagged covariance, and not later-occasion variance. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay and do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary first-occasion map. As `Δt → 0+` the lagged and later maps approach this composition. Trait-only variance does not require a stable drift. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined first-occasion latent variance, not stationary first-occasion observed variance, and not predetermined later observed variance when `p_0` is free. The later-start lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` is not first-occasion lagged covariance when `u > 0`, not later-occasion variance, not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, and not `e^{a s}` of the later total. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a s}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches first-occasion lagged covariance. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start lagged latent covariance, not first-occasion lagged observed covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-start later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` is not later-occasion variance at `u` when `s > 0`, not later-start lagged covariance, not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a s}` of the later total plus `Q_s`, and not later-occasion variance over the lag interval alone when `u > 0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_s`. Chapman–Kolmogorov writes `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance over `s`. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start later-occasion latent variance, not predetermined later observed variance, not later-start lagged observed covariance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. ## Authoritative sources From 6afd048d1a78bd7e1f68555182ec6a1f0db9ea8c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Seongho Bae Date: Sun, 23 Aug 2026 11:49:55 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 06/53] feat(psychometric): recover Driver p.16 discreteDRIFTstd after positive asymDIFFUSION MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Driver, Oud, and Voelkle (2017, p. 16; footnote 4; §7.1) print discreteDRIFTstd as the standardised discrete-time equivalent of DRIFT for a chosen event interval. Footnote 4 standardises DRIFT using only within-subject asymDIFFUSION, not the total. Form strictly positive −q/(2a) first, then φ = exp(a Δt). Unstandardised e^{aΔt} is defined for growing a ≥ 0 and for zero diffusion; standardised DRIFT is not. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation uses TRAITVAR and is not discreteDRIFTstd. TRAITVAR is not the standardisation variance. Still not a Kalman filter, not a matrix expm, not ESEM estimation, not DSEM, and not ctsem estimation. --- ARCHITECTURE.md | 2 +- CHANGELOG.md | 1 + CLAUDE.md | 2 +- crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs | 51 ++++ crates/psychometric_core/src/event_time.rs | 251 +++++++++++++++++- crates/psychometric_core/src/lib.rs | 18 ++ ...multilevel_event_time_recovery_contract.rs | 87 +++++- .../scientific_claim_boundary_contract.rs | 79 +++++- docs/TRACEABILITY.md | 2 +- docs/adr/0005-posterior-esem-dsem.md | 4 +- .../multilevel-event-time-recovery.md | 14 +- 11 files changed, 486 insertions(+), 25 deletions(-) diff --git a/ARCHITECTURE.md b/ARCHITECTURE.md index 12c8bdeba..5d168d9da 100644 --- a/ARCHITECTURE.md +++ b/ARCHITECTURE.md @@ -61,7 +61,7 @@ boundaries above remain the target modular MSA architecture. | `tepp_simulation` | known-truth temporal/event data generation | | `validation_core` | RMSE, bias, coverage, graph, and Monte Carlo metrics | | `tepp_api` | versioned DTO, schema, and export contracts | -| `psychometric_core` | posterior-aware structural input gates, CWC within/between OLS plus the contextual effect, event-time log-rate, unequal-interval discrete-lag remapping, constant-predictor discrete effect, time-varying-predictor discrete effect (Eq. 14), exact scalar discrete process noise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3), lagged latent covariance and unconditional latent variance (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4), stationary within-subject variance (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 4 as `Δt → ∞`;

Page 16 prints `discreteDRIFT` as `expm(DRIFT Δt)` and, when appropriate, `discreteDRIFTstd`. Footnote 4: standardisations use only the relevant variance, not the total. For `DRIFT` that relevant variance is within-subject `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)`, because `DRIFT` is intended to represent individual, or average individual, temporal dynamics. Form strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` first, then `φ = exp(a Δt)`. In the scalar stationary case the within-subject SD ratio is 1, so the standardised auto-effect equals the unstandardised discrete lag numerically; those remain distinct named quantities. Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion; standardised `DRIFT` is not. Zero `asymDIFFUSION` has no positive SD and fails closed. Section 7.1 warns that omitting trait variance confounds between- and within-person information. The trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses the total, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and is not `discreteDRIFTstd` when `TRAITVAR` is nonzero. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Still not a Kalman filter, not a matrix `expm`, not ESEM estimation, not DSEM, and not ctsem estimation.

Section 4.3 treats the first time point as predetermined when no assumptions are made about the process prior to the initial time point. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is then estimated. Section 4.3 notes that the process gradually transitions from the initial variances toward the stationary variances, and that the initial time point need not reflect the first measurement occasion (`startoffset`). Equation 3 writes `η(t) = exp(A Δt) η(t0) + … +` the stochastic integral. Equation 4 writes that the integral exhibits covariance `Q_Δt`. After a later start `u` the within-subject state variance is `e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u`. Evolving that later start over `s` is `e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s`. Chapman–Kolmogorov writes `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`, so the later-occasion map over `u + s` is the same composition. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` are time-invariant between-subject and do not enter `Q_s`. The later-start later-occasion composition is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v`. Form the later-start within-subject variance first, then evolve that state, then include the trait, then include the TI extra variance, then add. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not this map when `p_0` is free. Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s` and is not this map when `s > 0`. Later-start lagged covariance is `e^{a s}` of the later state and omits `Q_s`; it is not this map. Evolving the later total as if it were all state (`e^{2 a s}` of `trait + e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_s`) is not this map. Later-occasion variance over the lag interval alone ignores `startoffset` and omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`; it is not this map when `u > 0`. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance over `s`. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. As `s → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the carried later state vanishes and `Q_s` approaches `−q / (2 a)`, so the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. A zero trait, a zero initial variance, a zero diffusion, and a zero TI contribution is exactly zero. A zero initial variance, a zero diffusion, and a zero TI contribution is exactly the trait. Trait-only variance does not require a stable drift. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite TI extra variance when that contribution is nonzero and fails closed. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Both intervals must be event time and strictly positive. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that later-start later-occasion observed variance. The later-start later-occasion latent variance is not the later-start later-occasion observed variance. Predetermined later observed variance at `u` omits `Q_s` and is not that observed variance when `s > 0`. Later-start lagged observed covariance omits `Q_s` and `θ` and is not that observed variance.

This is two-group OLS, not MGCFA. Meredith (1993) names remain unread labels. -- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Later-start lagged covariance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T10:27Z). First-occasion lagged omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Later-occasion variance does not lag. Stationary lagged uses `−q / (2 a)`. Decaying the later total is not that map. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²` of it plus `ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. First-occasion lagged observed omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Later-start later-occasion variance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 3–4 Chapman–Kolmogorov `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:05Z). Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s`. Later-start lagged covariance omits `Q_s`. Stationary later uses `−q / (2 a)`. Evolving the later total as if it were all state is not that map. Ignoring `startoffset` omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance is `λ²` of it plus `θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that observed variance. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. +- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance.

The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map.

Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`.

The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Later-start lagged covariance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T10:27Z). First-occasion lagged omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Later-occasion variance does not lag. Stationary lagged uses `−q / (2 a)`. Decaying the later total is not that map. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²` of it plus `ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. First-occasion lagged observed omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Later-start later-occasion variance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 3–4 Chapman–Kolmogorov `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:05Z). Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s`. Later-start lagged covariance omits `Q_s`. Stationary later uses `−q / (2 a)`. Evolving the later total as if it were all state is not that map. Ignoring `startoffset` omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance is `λ²` of it plus `θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that observed variance. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; footnote 4; §7.1; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:40Z). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. - Separate cluster means before within-unit lag. CWC plus an event-time lag is not DSEM. Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series does not isolate the lagged within-person effect (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608); already-centered residuals with irregular event intervals use the exact scalar map. - Do not treat the CWC cluster-mean coefficient as the between-cluster effect. It is the contextual effect `between − within` (Enders & Tofighi, 2007, Table 2, pp. 124–127). - Never use future-available evidence in historical model fits. diff --git a/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs b/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs index 41eec89f3..3693e2555 100644 --- a/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs +++ b/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs @@ -668,6 +668,22 @@ pub enum PsychometricError { /// predetermined `T0VAR`.

The first-order product `a_yx Δt` is Eq. 14 and the underflow limit of Eq. 12, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. Already-centered residuals may have irregular event intervals. Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series is not the lagged within-person residual (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608). Metric/weak invariance licenses shared metric meaning only. Latent-mean comparison requires strong (equal loading and intercept) or strict invariance (Putnick & Bornstein, 2016, PMC5145197 opened 2026-08-19T22:15Z: scalar is required for latent means; residual invariance is not). Two-observation series have no residual degrees of freedom and cap at strong/scalar; identically-zero OLS residual variance is not strict. This two-group OLS gate is not MGCFA. +The executable multilevel slice is cluster-mean centering (CWC) plus within/between OLS, the CWC contextual effect (`between − within`), and Kish-weighted slopes. Enders and Tofighi (2007, Table 2, pp. 124–127) show that the CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the contextual effect, not the between-cluster effect. It is not DSEM and not RI-CLPM. The executable temporal slice maps a discrete lag through the exact scalar exponential `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time only (Voelkle, Oud, Davidov, & Schmidt, 2012, Eq. 7; Driver, Oud, & Voelkle, 2017, Eq. 3), recovers the forward map `φ(Δt) = exp(a Δt)`, remaps a discrete lag onto another event interval through that log-rate, recovers the exact scalar discrete effect of a constant predictor (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 12) as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows, and in log space when `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z` (`a_yx = 0` is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed), recovers the first-order discrete effect of a time-varying predictor with matched sampling and constancy intervals as `a_yx Δt` (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 14; ZORA accepted manuscript p. 21; not Eq. 12; unmatched intervals fail closed because Oud & Jansen, 2000, is unread), recovers the exact scalar discrete process noise `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3;

The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TIPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_b z` is not the Eq. 3 process increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `κ`, and not `M x`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z` and is not that process increment. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift.

The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-T0TIPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TDPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `κ`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0` and is not that within-interval impulse carry. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TD-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean.

The first-occasion TI composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. Same numbers as `T0TIPREDEFFECT` yield the same product; Table 3 names a different matrix. The evolved-plus-T0TDPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The §7.2 level-change `CINT` `κ = −a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Lasting level change via that `CINT` setting requires `a < 0`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not that `CINT` setting. The Eq. 3 increment of that setting `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps the equilibrium offset `m x`. The §7.2 extra-process contribution `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. Lasting level change via that extra process requires `ε < 0`. Precisely `ε = 0` causes computational problems in the printed specification. The extra-process observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` is not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`, not the contribution, and not the evolved-plus-contribution latent mean. The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. Table 2 `asymCINT` `-κ / a` is the intercept contribution to the stationary process mean. It is not `κ`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. Lasting asymptotic intercept change via that map requires `a < 0`. Page 16 notes that a `T0MEANS` stationarity constraint includes time-independent predictors; that composition is not this intercept-only map. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion mean `-κ / a + −B z / a` is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` is not `τ + λ μ_0`, not `τ + λ(−κ / a)` when `B z ≠ 0`, not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `MANIFESTMEANS`, and not the constrained latent mean. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, not later-occasion variance, not `e^{a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. A zero-diffusion carry with `a ≥ 0` is `e^{a Δt} p_0` and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined lagged latent covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary first-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not free `p_0`, not lagged covariance, and not later-occasion variance. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay and do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary first-occasion map. As `Δt → 0+` the lagged and later maps approach this composition. Trait-only variance does not require a stable drift. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined first-occasion latent variance, not stationary first-occasion observed variance, and not predetermined later observed variance when `p_0` is free. The later-start lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` is not first-occasion lagged covariance when `u > 0`, not later-occasion variance, not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, and not `e^{a s}` of the later total. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a s}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches first-occasion lagged covariance. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start lagged latent covariance, not first-occasion lagged observed covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-start later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` is not later-occasion variance at `u` when `s > 0`, not later-start lagged covariance, not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a s}` of the later total plus `Q_s`, and not later-occasion variance over the lag interval alone when `u > 0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_s`. Chapman–Kolmogorov writes `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance over `s`. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start later-occasion latent variance, not predetermined later observed variance, not later-start lagged observed covariance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. +This is two-level OLS and a noiseless scalar continuous-time map.

The CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the **contextual** effect, not the between-cluster effect. Discrete lags from different event intervals are not one coefficient. Equation 14 is not Equation 12. Discrete process noise \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the continuous diffusion \(GG^{\top}\). \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is the conditional residual variance, not \(\operatorname{Var}(\eta_{t})\).

Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start later-occasion latent variance, not predetermined later observed variance, not later-start lagged observed covariance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (footnote 4: standardise `DRIFT` using only within-subject variance, not the total). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. ## Authoritative sources From 444304d2d702cceb47cd4fdf695ba630d7e7c83a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Seongho Bae Date: Sun, 23 Aug 2026 13:14:42 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 07/53] feat(psychometric): recover Driver p.16 discreteDIFFUSIONstd after positive asymDIFFUSION MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Driver, Oud, and Voelkle (2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; §7.1) print standardised matrices with the suffix std when appropriate. Footnote 4 standardises using only the relevant variance, not the total. Process noise is within-subject, so that variance is asymDIFFUSION. Form strictly positive -q/(2a) first, then Q_Δt / p. Unstandardised Q_Δt is defined for growing a ≥ 0 and for zero diffusion; standardised DIFFUSION is not. The continuous standardisation -2a is not discreteDIFFUSIONstd. Q_Δt / (trait + p + added) uses TRAITVAR and is not discreteDIFFUSIONstd. Still not a Kalman filter, not a matrix expm, not ESEM estimation, not DSEM, and not ctsem estimation. --- ARCHITECTURE.md | 2 +- CHANGELOG.md | 1 + CLAUDE.md | 2 +- crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs | 54 ++++ crates/psychometric_core/src/event_time.rs | 276 +++++++++++++++++- crates/psychometric_core/src/lib.rs | 21 ++ ...multilevel_event_time_recovery_contract.rs | 91 +++++- .../scientific_claim_boundary_contract.rs | 84 +++++- docs/TRACEABILITY.md | 2 +- docs/adr/0005-posterior-esem-dsem.md | 4 +- .../multilevel-event-time-recovery.md | 14 +- 11 files changed, 530 insertions(+), 21 deletions(-) diff --git a/ARCHITECTURE.md b/ARCHITECTURE.md index 5d168d9da..ceba6e7cc 100644 --- a/ARCHITECTURE.md +++ b/ARCHITECTURE.md @@ -61,7 +61,7 @@ boundaries above remain the target modular MSA architecture. | `tepp_simulation` | known-truth temporal/event data generation | | `validation_core` | RMSE, bias, coverage, graph, and Monte Carlo metrics | | `tepp_api` | versioned DTO, schema, and export contracts | -| `psychometric_core` | posterior-aware structural input gates, CWC within/between OLS plus the contextual effect, event-time log-rate, unequal-interval discrete-lag remapping, constant-predictor discrete effect, time-varying-predictor discrete effect (Eq. 14), exact scalar discrete process noise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3), lagged latent covariance and unconditional latent variance (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4), stationary within-subject variance (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 4 as `Δt → ∞`;

Section 4.3 treats the first time point as predetermined when no assumptions are made about the process prior to the initial time point. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is then estimated. Section 4.3 notes that the process gradually transitions from the initial variances toward the stationary variances, and that the initial time point need not reflect the first measurement occasion (`startoffset`). Equation 3 writes `η(t) = exp(A Δt) η(t0) + … +` the stochastic integral. Equation 4 writes that the integral exhibits covariance `Q_Δt`. After a later start `u` the within-subject state variance is `e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u`. Evolving that later start over `s` is `e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s`. Chapman–Kolmogorov writes `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`, so the later-occasion map over `u + s` is the same composition. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` are time-invariant between-subject and do not enter `Q_s`. The later-start later-occasion composition is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v`. Form the later-start within-subject variance first, then evolve that state, then include the trait, then include the TI extra variance, then add. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not this map when `p_0` is free. Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s` and is not this map when `s > 0`. Later-start lagged covariance is `e^{a s}` of the later state and omits `Q_s`; it is not this map. Evolving the later total as if it were all state (`e^{2 a s}` of `trait + e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_s`) is not this map. Later-occasion variance over the lag interval alone ignores `startoffset` and omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`; it is not this map when `u > 0`. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance over `s`. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. As `s → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the carried later state vanishes and `Q_s` approaches `−q / (2 a)`, so the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. A zero trait, a zero initial variance, a zero diffusion, and a zero TI contribution is exactly zero. A zero initial variance, a zero diffusion, and a zero TI contribution is exactly the trait. Trait-only variance does not require a stable drift. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite TI extra variance when that contribution is nonzero and fails closed. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Both intervals must be event time and strictly positive.

This is two-group OLS, not MGCFA. Meredith (1993) names remain unread labels. -- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition).

Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Later-start lagged covariance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T10:27Z). First-occasion lagged omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Later-occasion variance does not lag. Stationary lagged uses `−q / (2 a)`. Decaying the later total is not that map. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²` of it plus `ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. First-occasion lagged observed omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Later-start later-occasion variance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 3–4 Chapman–Kolmogorov `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:05Z). Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s`. Later-start lagged covariance omits `Q_s`. Stationary later uses `−q / (2 a)`. Evolving the later total as if it were all state is not that map. Ignoring `startoffset` omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance is `λ²` of it plus `θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that observed variance. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; footnote 4; §7.1; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:40Z). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. +- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Later-start lagged covariance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T10:27Z). First-occasion lagged omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Later-occasion variance does not lag. Stationary lagged uses `−q / (2 a)`. Decaying the later total is not that map. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²` of it plus `ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. First-occasion lagged observed omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Later-start later-occasion variance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 3–4 Chapman–Kolmogorov `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:05Z). Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s`. Later-start lagged covariance omits `Q_s`. Stationary later uses `−q / (2 a)`. Evolving the later total as if it were all state is not that map. Ignoring `startoffset` omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance is `λ²` of it plus `θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that observed variance. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; footnote 4; §7.1; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:40Z). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `discreteDIFFUSIONstd` is `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:06Z). Unstandardised `Q_Δt` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. The continuous standardisation `−2 a` is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `Q_Δt / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. - Separate cluster means before within-unit lag. CWC plus an event-time lag is not DSEM. Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series does not isolate the lagged within-person effect (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608); already-centered residuals with irregular event intervals use the exact scalar map. - Do not treat the CWC cluster-mean coefficient as the between-cluster effect. It is the contextual effect `between − within` (Enders & Tofighi, 2007, Table 2, pp. 124–127). - Never use future-available evidence in historical model fits. diff --git a/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs b/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs index 3693e2555..c549a7de6 100644 --- a/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs +++ b/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs @@ -684,6 +684,24 @@ pub enum PsychometricError { /// footnote 4 standardisation variance. `TRAITVAR` is not /// `asymDIFFUSION`.

Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series is not the lagged within-person residual (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608). Metric/weak invariance licenses shared metric meaning only. Latent-mean comparison requires strong (equal loading and intercept) or strict invariance (Putnick & Bornstein, 2016, PMC5145197 opened 2026-08-19T22:15Z: scalar is required for latent means; residual invariance is not). Two-observation series have no residual degrees of freedom and cap at strong/scalar; identically-zero OLS residual variance is not strict. This two-group OLS gate is not MGCFA. +The executable multilevel slice is cluster-mean centering (CWC) plus within/between OLS, the CWC contextual effect (`between − within`), and Kish-weighted slopes. Enders and Tofighi (2007, Table 2, pp. 124–127) show that the CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the contextual effect, not the between-cluster effect. It is not DSEM and not RI-CLPM. The executable temporal slice maps a discrete lag through the exact scalar exponential `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time only (Voelkle, Oud, Davidov, & Schmidt, 2012, Eq. 7; Driver, Oud, & Voelkle, 2017, Eq. 3), recovers the forward map `φ(Δt) = exp(a Δt)`, remaps a discrete lag onto another event interval through that log-rate, recovers the exact scalar discrete effect of a constant predictor (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 12) as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows, and in log space when `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z` (`a_yx = 0` is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed), recovers the first-order discrete effect of a time-varying predictor with matched sampling and constancy intervals as `a_yx Δt` (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 14; ZORA accepted manuscript p. 21; not Eq. 12; unmatched intervals fail closed because Oud & Jansen, 2000, is unread), recovers the exact scalar discrete process noise `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3;

The first-order product `a_yx Δt` is Eq. 14 and the underflow limit of Eq. 12, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. Already-centered residuals may have irregular event intervals. Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series is not the lagged within-person residual (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608). Metric/weak invariance licenses shared metric meaning only.

Two-observation series have no residual degrees of freedom and cap at strong/scalar; identically-zero OLS residual variance is not strict. This two-group OLS gate is not MGCFA. Input/process/intervention/outcome paths obey event-time order.

It is not DSEM, not RI-CLPM, not a random-effects sampler, not a Kalman filter, and not a matrix `expm` implementation. The CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the **contextual** effect, not the between-cluster effect. Discrete lags from different event intervals are not one coefficient. Equation 14 is not Equation 12. Discrete process noise \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the continuous diffusion \(GG^{\top}\). \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is the conditional residual variance, not \(\operatorname{Var}(\eta_{t})\). Finite-interval \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the stationary within-subject variance. Trait variance is not process noise and not the stationary within-subject variance. Measurement-error variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Latent variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Manifest means are not the observed-indicator mean. The latent mean is not the observed-indicator mean. The continuous intercept is not the manifest mean. The first-occasion latent mean is not the evolved latent mean. The continuous intercept is not the discrete mean increment. The first-occasion observed mean is not the evolved observed mean. The contemporaneous `TDPREDEFFECT` impulse is not the continuous intercept, not the time-independent discrete effect, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The time-independent `TIPREDEFFECT` increment is not the continuous intercept, not the contemporaneous impulse, not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14), and not the coefficient `B`. The within-interval `TDPREDEFFECT` carry `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the contemporaneous-impulse observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not the impulse-carry observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` when `u ≠ t`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the impulse-carry observed mean. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the time-independent-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TIPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_b z` is not the Eq. 3 process increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `κ`, and not `M x`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z` and is not that process increment. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TI-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-T0TIPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TDPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `κ`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0` and is not that within-interval impulse carry. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TD-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. Same numbers as `T0TIPREDEFFECT` yield the same product; Table 3 names a different matrix. The evolved-plus-T0TDPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The §7.2 level-change `CINT` `κ = −a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Lasting level change via that `CINT` setting requires `a < 0`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not that `CINT` setting. The Eq. 3 increment of that setting `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps the equilibrium offset `m x`. The §7.2 extra-process contribution `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. Lasting level change via that extra process requires `ε < 0`. Precisely `ε = 0` causes computational problems in the printed specification. The extra-process observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` is not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`, not the contribution, and not the evolved-plus-contribution latent mean. The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. Table 2 `asymCINT` `-κ / a` is the intercept contribution to the stationary process mean. It is not `κ`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. Lasting asymptotic intercept change via that map requires `a < 0`. Page 16 notes that a `T0MEANS` stationarity constraint includes time-independent predictors; that composition is not this intercept-only map. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion mean `-κ / a + −B z / a` is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` is not `τ + λ μ_0`, not `τ + λ(−κ / a)` when `B z ≠ 0`, not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `MANIFESTMEANS`, and not the constrained latent mean. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, not later-occasion variance, not `e^{a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. A zero-diffusion carry with `a ≥ 0` is `e^{a Δt} p_0` and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined lagged latent covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary first-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not free `p_0`, not lagged covariance, and not later-occasion variance. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay and do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary first-occasion map. As `Δt → 0+` the lagged and later maps approach this composition. Trait-only variance does not require a stable drift. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined first-occasion latent variance, not stationary first-occasion observed variance, and not predetermined later observed variance when `p_0` is free. The later-start lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` is not first-occasion lagged covariance when `u > 0`, not later-occasion variance, not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, and not `e^{a s}` of the later total. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a s}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches first-occasion lagged covariance. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start lagged latent covariance, not first-occasion lagged observed covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-start later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` is not later-occasion variance at `u` when `s > 0`, not later-start lagged covariance, not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a s}` of the later total plus `Q_s`, and not later-occasion variance over the lag interval alone when `u > 0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_s`. Chapman–Kolmogorov writes `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance over `s`. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start later-occasion latent variance, not predetermined later observed variance, not later-start lagged observed covariance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (footnote 4: standardise `DRIFT` using only within-subject variance, not the total). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. +This is two-level OLS and a noiseless scalar continuous-time map. It is not DSEM, not RI-CLPM, not a random-effects sampler, not a Kalman filter, and not a matrix `expm` implementation. The CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the **contextual** effect, not the between-cluster effect. Discrete lags from different event intervals are not one coefficient. Equation 14 is not Equation 12. Discrete process noise \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the continuous diffusion \(GG^{\top}\). \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is the conditional residual variance, not \(\operatorname{Var}(\eta_{t})\). Finite-interval \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the stationary within-subject variance. Trait variance is not process noise and not the stationary within-subject variance. Measurement-error variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Latent variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Manifest means are not the observed-indicator mean. The latent mean is not the observed-indicator mean. The continuous intercept is not the manifest mean. The first-occasion latent mean is not the evolved latent mean. The continuous intercept is not the discrete mean increment. The first-occasion observed mean is not the evolved observed mean. The contemporaneous `TDPREDEFFECT` impulse is not the continuous intercept, not the time-independent discrete effect, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The time-independent `TIPREDEFFECT` increment is not the continuous intercept, not the contemporaneous impulse, not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14), and not the coefficient `B`. The within-interval `TDPREDEFFECT` carry `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the contemporaneous-impulse observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not the impulse-carry observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` when `u ≠ t`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the impulse-carry observed mean. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the time-independent-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TIPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_b z` is not the Eq. 3 process increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `κ`, and not `M x`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z` and is not that process increment. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TI-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-T0TIPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TDPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `κ`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0` and is not that within-interval impulse carry. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TD-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. Same numbers as `T0TIPREDEFFECT` yield the same product; Table 3 names a different matrix. The evolved-plus-T0TDPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The §7.2 level-change `CINT` `κ = −a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Lasting level change via that `CINT` setting requires `a < 0`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not that `CINT` setting. The Eq. 3 increment of that setting `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps the equilibrium offset `m x`. The §7.2 extra-process contribution `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. Lasting level change via that extra process requires `ε < 0`. Precisely `ε = 0` causes computational problems in the printed specification. The extra-process observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` is not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`, not the contribution, and not the evolved-plus-contribution latent mean. The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. Table 2 `asymCINT` `-κ / a` is the intercept contribution to the stationary process mean. It is not `κ`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. Lasting asymptotic intercept change via that map requires `a < 0`. Page 16 notes that a `T0MEANS` stationarity constraint includes time-independent predictors; that composition is not this intercept-only map. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion mean `-κ / a + −B z / a` is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` is not `τ + λ μ_0`, not `τ + λ(−κ / a)` when `B z ≠ 0`, not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `MANIFESTMEANS`, and not the constrained latent mean. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, not later-occasion variance, not `e^{a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. A zero-diffusion carry with `a ≥ 0` is `e^{a Δt} p_0` and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined lagged latent covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary first-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not free `p_0`, not lagged covariance, and not later-occasion variance. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay and do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary first-occasion map. As `Δt → 0+` the lagged and later maps approach this composition. Trait-only variance does not require a stable drift. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined first-occasion latent variance, not stationary first-occasion observed variance, and not predetermined later observed variance when `p_0` is free. The later-start lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` is not first-occasion lagged covariance when `u > 0`, not later-occasion variance, not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, and not `e^{a s}` of the later total. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a s}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches first-occasion lagged covariance. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start lagged latent covariance, not first-occasion lagged observed covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-start later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` is not later-occasion variance at `u` when `s > 0`, not later-start lagged covariance, not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a s}` of the later total plus `Q_s`, and not later-occasion variance over the lag interval alone when `u > 0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_s`. Chapman–Kolmogorov writes `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance over `s`. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start later-occasion latent variance, not predetermined later observed variance, not later-start lagged observed covariance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (footnote 4: standardise `DRIFT` using only within-subject variance, not the total). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `discreteDIFFUSIONstd` is `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (footnote 4: standardise process noise using only within-subject variance, not the total). Unstandardised `Q_Δt` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. The continuous standardisation `q / (−q / (2 a)) = −2 a` is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `Q_Δt / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. ## Authoritative sources From 0836c359fab7878084ac3a711920550eb6cacb0d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Seongho Bae Date: Sun, 23 Aug 2026 13:26:00 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 08/53] feat(psychometric): recover Driver p.16 DIFFUSIONstd after positive asymDIFFUSION MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Driver, Oud, and Voelkle (2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; §7.1) print standardised matrices with the suffix std when appropriate. Footnote 4 standardises using only the relevant variance, not the total. Process noise is within-subject, so that variance is asymDIFFUSION. Form strictly positive -q/(2a) first, then q/p. In the scalar stationary case that ratio equals -2a and does not depend on q once q>0. Unstandardised q is defined for growing a ≥ 0 and for zero diffusion; standardised DIFFUSION is not. Discrete Q_Δt/p is not DIFFUSIONstd. q/(trait+p+added) uses TRAITVAR and is not DIFFUSIONstd. Still not a Kalman filter, not a matrix expm, not ESEM estimation, not DSEM, and not ctsem estimation. --- ARCHITECTURE.md | 2 +- CHANGELOG.md | 1 + CLAUDE.md | 2 +- crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs | 51 ++++ crates/psychometric_core/src/event_time.rs | 234 +++++++++++++++++- crates/psychometric_core/src/lib.rs | 20 ++ ...multilevel_event_time_recovery_contract.rs | 94 ++++++- .../scientific_claim_boundary_contract.rs | 95 ++++++- docs/TRACEABILITY.md | 2 +- docs/adr/0005-posterior-esem-dsem.md | 4 +- .../multilevel-event-time-recovery.md | 17 +- 11 files changed, 486 insertions(+), 36 deletions(-) diff --git a/ARCHITECTURE.md b/ARCHITECTURE.md index ceba6e7cc..66b0498b7 100644 --- a/ARCHITECTURE.md +++ b/ARCHITECTURE.md @@ -61,7 +61,7 @@ boundaries above remain the target modular MSA architecture. | `tepp_simulation` | known-truth temporal/event data generation | | `validation_core` | RMSE, bias, coverage, graph, and Monte Carlo metrics | | `tepp_api` | versioned DTO, schema, and export contracts | -| `psychometric_core` | posterior-aware structural input gates, CWC within/between OLS plus the contextual effect, event-time log-rate, unequal-interval discrete-lag remapping, constant-predictor discrete effect, time-varying-predictor discrete effect (Eq. 14), exact scalar discrete process noise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3), lagged latent covariance and unconditional latent variance (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4), stationary within-subject variance (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 4 as `Δt → ∞`;

Page 16 prints `discreteDRIFT` as `expm(DRIFT Δt)` and, when appropriate, `discreteDRIFTstd`. Footnote 4: standardisations use only the relevant variance, not the total. For `DRIFT` that relevant variance is within-subject `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)`, because `DRIFT` is intended to represent individual, or average individual, temporal dynamics. Form strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` first, then `φ = exp(a Δt)`. In the scalar stationary case the within-subject SD ratio is 1, so the standardised auto-effect equals the unstandardised discrete lag numerically; those remain distinct named quantities. Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion; standardised `DRIFT` is not. Zero `asymDIFFUSION` has no positive SD and fails closed. Section 7.1 warns that omitting trait variance confounds between- and within-person information. The trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses the total, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and is not `discreteDRIFTstd` when `TRAITVAR` is nonzero. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance.

Section 4.3 treats the first time point as predetermined when no assumptions are made about the process prior to the initial time point. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is then estimated. Section 4.3 notes that the process gradually transitions from the initial variances toward the stationary variances, and that the initial time point need not reflect the first measurement occasion (`startoffset`). Equation 3 writes `η(t) = exp(A Δt) η(t0) + … +` the stochastic integral. Equation 4 writes that the integral exhibits covariance `Q_Δt`. After a later start `u` the within-subject state variance is `e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u`. Evolving that later start over `s` is `e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s`. Chapman–Kolmogorov writes `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`, so the later-occasion map over `u + s` is the same composition. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` are time-invariant between-subject and do not enter `Q_s`. The later-start later-occasion composition is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v`. Form the later-start within-subject variance first, then evolve that state, then include the trait, then include the TI extra variance, then add. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not this map when `p_0` is free. Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s` and is not this map when `s > 0`. Later-start lagged covariance is `e^{a s}` of the later state and omits `Q_s`; it is not this map. Evolving the later total as if it were all state (`e^{2 a s}` of `trait + e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_s`) is not this map. Later-occasion variance over the lag interval alone ignores `startoffset` and omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`; it is not this map when `u > 0`. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance over `s`. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. As `s → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the carried later state vanishes and `Q_s` approaches `−q / (2 a)`, so the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. A zero trait, a zero initial variance, a zero diffusion, and a zero TI contribution is exactly zero. A zero initial variance, a zero diffusion, and a zero TI contribution is exactly the trait. Trait-only variance does not require a stable drift. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite TI extra variance when that contribution is nonzero and fails closed. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Both intervals must be event time and strictly positive. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that later-start later-occasion observed variance. The later-start later-occasion latent variance is not the later-start later-occasion observed variance. Predetermined later observed variance at `u` omits `Q_s` and is not that observed variance when `s > 0`. Later-start lagged observed covariance omits `Q_s` and `θ` and is not that observed variance. Stationary later-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Still not a Kalman filter, not a matrix `expm`, not ESEM estimation, not DSEM, and not ctsem estimation.

This is two-group OLS, not MGCFA. Meredith (1993) names remain unread labels. -- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Later-start lagged covariance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T10:27Z). First-occasion lagged omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Later-occasion variance does not lag. Stationary lagged uses `−q / (2 a)`. Decaying the later total is not that map. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²` of it plus `ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. First-occasion lagged observed omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Later-start later-occasion variance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 3–4 Chapman–Kolmogorov `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:05Z). Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s`. Later-start lagged covariance omits `Q_s`. Stationary later uses `−q / (2 a)`. Evolving the later total as if it were all state is not that map. Ignoring `startoffset` omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance is `λ²` of it plus `θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that observed variance. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; footnote 4; §7.1; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:40Z). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `discreteDIFFUSIONstd` is `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:06Z). Unstandardised `Q_Δt` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. The continuous standardisation `−2 a` is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `Q_Δt / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. +- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Later-start lagged covariance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T10:27Z). First-occasion lagged omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Later-occasion variance does not lag. Stationary lagged uses `−q / (2 a)`. Decaying the later total is not that map. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²` of it plus `ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. First-occasion lagged observed omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Later-start later-occasion variance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 3–4 Chapman–Kolmogorov `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:05Z). Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s`. Later-start lagged covariance omits `Q_s`. Stationary later uses `−q / (2 a)`. Evolving the later total as if it were all state is not that map. Ignoring `startoffset` omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance is `λ²` of it plus `θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that observed variance. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; footnote 4; §7.1; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:40Z). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `discreteDIFFUSIONstd` is `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:06Z). Unstandardised `Q_Δt` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. The continuous standardisation `−2 a` is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `Q_Δt / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DIFFUSIONstd` is `q / (−q / (2 a)) = −2 a` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:20Z). Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` depends on `Δt` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. - Separate cluster means before within-unit lag. CWC plus an event-time lag is not DSEM. Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series does not isolate the lagged within-person effect (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608); already-centered residuals with irregular event intervals use the exact scalar map. - Do not treat the CWC cluster-mean coefficient as the between-cluster effect. It is the contextual effect `between − within` (Enders & Tofighi, 2007, Table 2, pp. 124–127). - Never use future-available evidence in historical model fits. diff --git a/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs b/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs index c549a7de6..d87feefcb 100644 --- a/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs +++ b/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs @@ -702,6 +702,21 @@ pub enum PsychometricError { /// `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`.

The first-order product `a_yx Δt` is Eq. 14 and the underflow limit of Eq. 12, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. Already-centered residuals may have irregular event intervals. Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series is not the lagged within-person residual (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608). Metric/weak invariance licenses shared metric meaning only. Latent-mean comparison requires strong (equal loading and intercept) or strict invariance (Putnick & Bornstein, 2016, PMC5145197 opened 2026-08-19T22:15Z: scalar is required for latent means; residual invariance is not). Two-observation series have no residual degrees of freedom and cap at strong/scalar; identically-zero OLS residual variance is not strict. This two-group OLS gate is not MGCFA. +The executable multilevel slice is cluster-mean centering (CWC) plus within/between OLS, the CWC contextual effect (`between − within`), and Kish-weighted slopes. Enders and Tofighi (2007, Table 2, pp. 124–127) show that the CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the contextual effect, not the between-cluster effect. It is not DSEM and not RI-CLPM. The executable temporal slice maps a discrete lag through the exact scalar exponential `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time only (Voelkle, Oud, Davidov, & Schmidt, 2012, Eq. 7; Driver, Oud, & Voelkle, 2017, Eq. 3), recovers the forward map `φ(Δt) = exp(a Δt)`, remaps a discrete lag onto another event interval through that log-rate, recovers the exact scalar discrete effect of a constant predictor (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 12) as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows, and in log space when `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z` (`a_yx = 0` is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed), recovers the first-order discrete effect of a time-varying predictor with matched sampling and constancy intervals as `a_yx Δt` (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 14; ZORA accepted manuscript p. 21; not Eq. 12; unmatched intervals fail closed because Oud & Jansen, 2000, is unread), recovers the exact scalar discrete process noise `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3;

It is not DSEM, not RI-CLPM, not a random-effects sampler, not a Kalman filter, and not a matrix `expm` implementation. The CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the **contextual** effect, not the between-cluster effect. Discrete lags from different event intervals are not one coefficient. Equation 14 is not Equation 12. Discrete process noise \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the continuous diffusion \(GG^{\top}\). \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is the conditional residual variance, not \(\operatorname{Var}(\eta_{t})\). Finite-interval \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the stationary within-subject variance. Trait variance is not process noise and not the stationary within-subject variance. Measurement-error variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Latent variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Manifest means are not the observed-indicator mean. The latent mean is not the observed-indicator mean. The continuous intercept is not the manifest mean. The first-occasion latent mean is not the evolved latent mean. The continuous intercept is not the discrete mean increment. The first-occasion observed mean is not the evolved observed mean. The contemporaneous `TDPREDEFFECT` impulse is not the continuous intercept, not the time-independent discrete effect, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The time-independent `TIPREDEFFECT` increment is not the continuous intercept, not the contemporaneous impulse, not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14), and not the coefficient `B`. The within-interval `TDPREDEFFECT` carry `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the contemporaneous-impulse observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not the impulse-carry observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` when `u ≠ t`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the impulse-carry observed mean. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the time-independent-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TIPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_b z` is not the Eq. 3 process increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `κ`, and not `M x`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z` and is not that process increment. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TI-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-T0TIPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TDPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `κ`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0` and is not that within-interval impulse carry. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TD-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. Same numbers as `T0TIPREDEFFECT` yield the same product; Table 3 names a different matrix. The evolved-plus-T0TDPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The §7.2 level-change `CINT` `κ = −a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Lasting level change via that `CINT` setting requires `a < 0`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not that `CINT` setting. The Eq. 3 increment of that setting `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps the equilibrium offset `m x`. The §7.2 extra-process contribution `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. Lasting level change via that extra process requires `ε < 0`. Precisely `ε = 0` causes computational problems in the printed specification. The extra-process observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` is not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`, not the contribution, and not the evolved-plus-contribution latent mean. The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. Table 2 `asymCINT` `-κ / a` is the intercept contribution to the stationary process mean. It is not `κ`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. Lasting asymptotic intercept change via that map requires `a < 0`. Page 16 notes that a `T0MEANS` stationarity constraint includes time-independent predictors; that composition is not this intercept-only map. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion mean `-κ / a + −B z / a` is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` is not `τ + λ μ_0`, not `τ + λ(−κ / a)` when `B z ≠ 0`, not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `MANIFESTMEANS`, and not the constrained latent mean. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, not later-occasion variance, not `e^{a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. A zero-diffusion carry with `a ≥ 0` is `e^{a Δt} p_0` and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined lagged latent covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary first-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not free `p_0`, not lagged covariance, and not later-occasion variance. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay and do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary first-occasion map. As `Δt → 0+` the lagged and later maps approach this composition. Trait-only variance does not require a stable drift. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined first-occasion latent variance, not stationary first-occasion observed variance, and not predetermined later observed variance when `p_0` is free. The later-start lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` is not first-occasion lagged covariance when `u > 0`, not later-occasion variance, not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, and not `e^{a s}` of the later total. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a s}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches first-occasion lagged covariance. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start lagged latent covariance, not first-occasion lagged observed covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-start later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` is not later-occasion variance at `u` when `s > 0`, not later-start lagged covariance, not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a s}` of the later total plus `Q_s`, and not later-occasion variance over the lag interval alone when `u > 0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_s`. Chapman–Kolmogorov writes `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance over `s`. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start later-occasion latent variance, not predetermined later observed variance, not later-start lagged observed covariance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (footnote 4: standardise `DRIFT` using only within-subject variance, not the total). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `discreteDIFFUSIONstd` is `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (footnote 4: standardise process noise using only within-subject variance, not the total). Unstandardised `Q_Δt` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. The continuous standardisation `q / (−q / (2 a)) = −2 a` is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `Q_Δt / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. +This is two-level OLS and a noiseless scalar continuous-time map. It is not DSEM, not RI-CLPM, not a random-effects sampler, not a Kalman filter, and not a matrix `expm` implementation. The CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the **contextual** effect, not the between-cluster effect. Discrete lags from different event intervals are not one coefficient. Equation 14 is not Equation 12. Discrete process noise \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the continuous diffusion \(GG^{\top}\). \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is the conditional residual variance, not \(\operatorname{Var}(\eta_{t})\). Finite-interval \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the stationary within-subject variance. Trait variance is not process noise and not the stationary within-subject variance. Measurement-error variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Latent variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Manifest means are not the observed-indicator mean. The latent mean is not the observed-indicator mean. The continuous intercept is not the manifest mean. The first-occasion latent mean is not the evolved latent mean. The continuous intercept is not the discrete mean increment. The first-occasion observed mean is not the evolved observed mean. The contemporaneous `TDPREDEFFECT` impulse is not the continuous intercept, not the time-independent discrete effect, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The time-independent `TIPREDEFFECT` increment is not the continuous intercept, not the contemporaneous impulse, not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14), and not the coefficient `B`. The within-interval `TDPREDEFFECT` carry `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the contemporaneous-impulse observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not the impulse-carry observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` when `u ≠ t`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the impulse-carry observed mean. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the time-independent-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TIPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_b z` is not the Eq. 3 process increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `κ`, and not `M x`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z` and is not that process increment. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TI-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-T0TIPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TDPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `κ`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0` and is not that within-interval impulse carry. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TD-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. Same numbers as `T0TIPREDEFFECT` yield the same product; Table 3 names a different matrix. The evolved-plus-T0TDPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The §7.2 level-change `CINT` `κ = −a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Lasting level change via that `CINT` setting requires `a < 0`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not that `CINT` setting. The Eq. 3 increment of that setting `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps the equilibrium offset `m x`. The §7.2 extra-process contribution `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. Lasting level change via that extra process requires `ε < 0`. Precisely `ε = 0` causes computational problems in the printed specification. The extra-process observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` is not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`, not the contribution, and not the evolved-plus-contribution latent mean. The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. Table 2 `asymCINT` `-κ / a` is the intercept contribution to the stationary process mean. It is not `κ`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. Lasting asymptotic intercept change via that map requires `a < 0`. Page 16 notes that a `T0MEANS` stationarity constraint includes time-independent predictors; that composition is not this intercept-only map. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion mean `-κ / a + −B z / a` is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` is not `τ + λ μ_0`, not `τ + λ(−κ / a)` when `B z ≠ 0`, not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `MANIFESTMEANS`, and not the constrained latent mean. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, not later-occasion variance, not `e^{a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. A zero-diffusion carry with `a ≥ 0` is `e^{a Δt} p_0` and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined lagged latent covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary first-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not free `p_0`, not lagged covariance, and not later-occasion variance. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay and do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary first-occasion map. As `Δt → 0+` the lagged and later maps approach this composition. Trait-only variance does not require a stable drift. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined first-occasion latent variance, not stationary first-occasion observed variance, and not predetermined later observed variance when `p_0` is free. The later-start lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` is not first-occasion lagged covariance when `u > 0`, not later-occasion variance, not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, and not `e^{a s}` of the later total. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a s}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches first-occasion lagged covariance. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start lagged latent covariance, not first-occasion lagged observed covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-start later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` is not later-occasion variance at `u` when `s > 0`, not later-start lagged covariance, not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a s}` of the later total plus `Q_s`, and not later-occasion variance over the lag interval alone when `u > 0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_s`. Chapman–Kolmogorov writes `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance over `s`. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start later-occasion latent variance, not predetermined later observed variance, not later-start lagged observed covariance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free.

Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a)) = 1 − exp(2 a Δt)` depends on the event interval and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. ## Authoritative sources @@ -88,7 +90,7 @@ Kish, L.

Page 16 writes discrete auto-effects as \(A^{*}(\Delta t)=\exp(A\Delta t)\) (Eq. 7). Introducing Intercepts (manuscript p. 20, Eq. 12) adds a continuous-time intercept \(b\) and writes the expected-value solution whose discrete increment is \(A^{-1}(\exp(A\Delta t)-I)b\); the scalar constant-predictor effect is \(b^{*}_{y.x}(\Delta t)=(a_{yx}/a_{xx})(\exp(a_{xx}\Delta t)-1)\). The next paragraph (manuscript p. 21, Eq. 14) writes the discrete effect of a **time-varying** predictor, when the sampling interval equals the constancy interval, as \(b^{*}_{y.x}(\Delta t)=a_{yx}\Delta t\). That product does not depend on the predictor auto-effect. The manuscript calls Eq. 14 a first-order approximation that deteriorates as \(\Delta t\) grows, and defers unmatched sampling/constancy intervals to Oud and Jansen (2000), which is unread. Driver, Oud, and Voelkle (2017, Eq. 3 and p. 4; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z from https://www.jstatsoft.org/index.php/jss/article/download/v077i05/1104) write \(A_{\Delta t}=\operatorname{expm}(A\Delta t)\), the discrete intercept \(b_{\Delta t}=A^{-1}[A_{\Delta t}-I]b\), and the discrete process-noise covariance \(Q_{\Delta t}=\int_{0}^{\Delta t}\operatorname{expm}(A(\Delta t-\tau))LGG^{\top}L^{\top}\operatorname{expm}(A(\Delta t-\tau))^{\top}\,d\tau\). Equation 4 (p. 5) writes that the integral exhibits covariance \(Q_{\Delta t}=\operatorname{irow}(A^{\#^{-1}}[e^{A^{\#}\Delta t}-I]\operatorname{row}(Q))\) with \(A^{\#}=A\otimes I+I\otimes A\). The homogeneous-process consequence (`ξ`, `z` given) is \(Q_{\Delta t}=\operatorname{cov}(\eta_{ti}\mid\eta_{t-1,i})\) and \(\operatorname{cov}(\eta_{ti},\eta_{t-1,i})=A_{\Delta t}\operatorname{cov}(\eta_{t-1,i})\). The law of total variance on that pair is \(\operatorname{Var}(\eta_{ti})=A_{\Delta t}\operatorname{Var}(\eta_{t-1,i})A_{\Delta t}^{\top}+Q_{\Delta t}\). As \(\Delta t\to\infty\) with stable \(a<0\), Eq. 4 becomes \(-q/(2a)\). The JSS summary names that limit `asymDIFFUSION` and takes it as the total within-subject variance (p. 16). Section 4.3 (pp. 9–10) constrains a stationary `T0VAR` to that model-predicted variance and distinguishes it from a predetermined first occasion. The later-occasion variance of that predetermined first occasion is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). The lagged covariance of that predetermined first occasion is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). The same section (p. 9) adds a stable trait process with `DRIFT` and `DIFFUSION` fixed to zero; `TRAITVAR` is that time-invariant between-subject variance. Table 3 (p. 13) names `T0TIPREDEFFECT` the effect of time-independent predictors on latents at `T0` and names `TIPREDEFFECT` `B` separately. The JSS article has no numbered §2.2 (2.1 is Continuous time and SEM; §3 follows). This slice takes scalar \(L=1\) (every latent subject to system noise); it does not implement the 0/1 selector matrix and is not a Kalman filter. Discrete auto-effects are strictly positive for finite real drift and interval; the inverse \(a=\ln\varphi/\Delta t\) therefore requires \(\varphi>0\). Binary64 `exp` of a large negative argument is `+0` and is refused as a discrete lag; the same underflow is a vanishing lagged covariance and is kept. When `exp` of a finite `a Δt` overflows on the Table 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` / `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0`, rewrite as `sign(shift) exp(ln|shift| + a Δt)`; an overflowing `a Δt` product fails closed. Integration tests execute those overflow-rewrite arms on the non-`cfg(test)` instantiation (nightly branch coverage on #49 head `d634f58` was 1718/1720 at those two `if !drift_interval.is_finite()` sites).

(2012) ZORA accepted manuscript was re-opened 2026-08-18T21:07Z (https://www.zora.uzh.ch/handle/20.500.14742/72792; bitstream `424f9082-0eeb-4a67-b687-9845a4ed892f`). Page 16 writes discrete auto-effects as \(A^{*}(\Delta t)=\exp(A\Delta t)\) (Eq. 7). Introducing Intercepts (manuscript p. 20, Eq. 12) adds a continuous-time intercept \(b\) and writes the expected-value solution whose discrete increment is \(A^{-1}(\exp(A\Delta t)-I)b\); the scalar constant-predictor effect is \(b^{*}_{y.x}(\Delta t)=(a_{yx}/a_{xx})(\exp(a_{xx}\Delta t)-1)\). The next paragraph (manuscript p. 21, Eq. 14) writes the discrete effect of a **time-varying** predictor, when the sampling interval equals the constancy interval, as \(b^{*}_{y.x}(\Delta t)=a_{yx}\Delta t\). That product does not depend on the predictor auto-effect. The manuscript calls Eq. 14 a first-order approximation that deteriorates as \(\Delta t\) grows, and defers unmatched sampling/constancy intervals to Oud and Jansen (2000), which is unread. Driver, Oud, and Voelkle (2017, Eq. 3 and p. 4; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z from https://www.jstatsoft.org/index.php/jss/article/download/v077i05/1104) write \(A_{\Delta t}=\operatorname{expm}(A\Delta t)\), the discrete intercept \(b_{\Delta t}=A^{-1}[A_{\Delta t}-I]b\), and the discrete process-noise covariance \(Q_{\Delta t}=\int_{0}^{\Delta t}\operatorname{expm}(A(\Delta t-\tau))LGG^{\top}L^{\top}\operatorname{expm}(A(\Delta t-\tau))^{\top}\,d\tau\). Equation 4 (p. 5) writes that the integral exhibits covariance \(Q_{\Delta t}=\operatorname{irow}(A^{\#^{-1}}[e^{A^{\#}\Delta t}-I]\operatorname{row}(Q))\) with \(A^{\#}=A\otimes I+I\otimes A\). The homogeneous-process consequence (`ξ`, `z` given) is \(Q_{\Delta t}=\operatorname{cov}(\eta_{ti}\mid\eta_{t-1,i})\) and \(\operatorname{cov}(\eta_{ti},\eta_{t-1,i})=A_{\Delta t}\operatorname{cov}(\eta_{t-1,i})\). The law of total variance on that pair is \(\operatorname{Var}(\eta_{ti})=A_{\Delta t}\operatorname{Var}(\eta_{t-1,i})A_{\Delta t}^{\top}+Q_{\Delta t}\). As \(\Delta t\to\infty\) with stable \(a<0\), Eq. 4 becomes \(-q/(2a)\). The JSS summary names that limit `asymDIFFUSION` and takes it as the total within-subject variance (p. 16). Section 4.3 (pp. 9–10) constrains a stationary `T0VAR` to that model-predicted variance and distinguishes it from a predetermined first occasion. The later-occasion variance of that predetermined first occasion is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). The lagged covariance of that predetermined first occasion is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). The same section (p. 9) adds a stable trait process with `DRIFT` and `DIFFUSION` fixed to zero; `TRAITVAR` is that time-invariant between-subject variance. Table 3 (p. 13) names `T0TIPREDEFFECT` the effect of time-independent predictors on latents at `T0` and names `TIPREDEFFECT` `B` separately. The JSS article has no numbered §2.2 (2.1 is Continuous time and SEM; §3 follows). This slice takes scalar \(L=1\) (every latent subject to system noise); it does not implement the 0/1 selector matrix and is not a Kalman filter. Discrete auto-effects are strictly positive for finite real drift and interval; the inverse \(a=\ln\varphi/\Delta t\) therefore requires \(\varphi>0\). Binary64 `exp` of a large negative argument is `+0` and is refused as a discrete lag; the same underflow is a vanishing lagged covariance and is kept. When `exp` of a finite `a Δt` overflows on the Table 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` / `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0`, rewrite as `sign(shift) exp(ln|shift| + a Δt)`; an overflowing `a Δt` product fails closed. Integration tests execute those overflow-rewrite arms on the non-`cfg(test)` instantiation (nightly branch coverage on #49 head `d634f58` was 1718/1720 at those two `if !drift_interval.is_finite()` sites). Equations 3–4 of Voelkle et al. (2012) are the discouraged difference-quotient approximation.

This is two-group OLS, not MGCFA. Meredith (1993) names remain unread labels. -- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Later-start lagged covariance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T10:27Z). First-occasion lagged omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Later-occasion variance does not lag. Stationary lagged uses `−q / (2 a)`. Decaying the later total is not that map. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²` of it plus `ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. First-occasion lagged observed omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Later-start later-occasion variance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 3–4 Chapman–Kolmogorov `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:05Z). Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s`. Later-start lagged covariance omits `Q_s`. Stationary later uses `−q / (2 a)`. Evolving the later total as if it were all state is not that map. Ignoring `startoffset` omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance is `λ²` of it plus `θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that observed variance. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; footnote 4; §7.1; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:40Z). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `discreteDIFFUSIONstd` is `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:06Z). Unstandardised `Q_Δt` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. The continuous standardisation `−2 a` is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `Q_Δt / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DIFFUSIONstd` is `q / (−q / (2 a)) = −2 a` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:20Z). Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` depends on `Δt` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. +- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Later-start lagged covariance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T10:27Z). First-occasion lagged omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Later-occasion variance does not lag. Stationary lagged uses `−q / (2 a)`. Decaying the later total is not that map. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²` of it plus `ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. First-occasion lagged observed omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Later-start later-occasion variance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 3–4 Chapman–Kolmogorov `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:05Z). Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s`. Later-start lagged covariance omits `Q_s`. Stationary later uses `−q / (2 a)`. Evolving the later total as if it were all state is not that map. Ignoring `startoffset` omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance is `λ²` of it plus `θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that observed variance. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; footnote 4; §7.1; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:40Z). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `discreteDIFFUSIONstd` is `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:06Z). Unstandardised `Q_Δt` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. The continuous standardisation `−2 a` is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `Q_Δt / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DIFFUSIONstd` is `q / (−q / (2 a)) = −2 a` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:20Z). Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` depends on `Δt` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DRIFTstd` is the continuous auto-effect after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 1; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:28Z). Unstandardised `a` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DRIFTstd`. The discrete standardisation `e^{a Δt}` depends on the event interval and is not `DRIFTstd`. `a p / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. - Separate cluster means before within-unit lag. CWC plus an event-time lag is not DSEM. Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series does not isolate the lagged within-person effect (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608); already-centered residuals with irregular event intervals use the exact scalar map. - Do not treat the CWC cluster-mean coefficient as the between-cluster effect. It is the contextual effect `between − within` (Enders & Tofighi, 2007, Table 2, pp. 124–127). - Never use future-available evidence in historical model fits. diff --git a/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs b/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs index d87feefcb..8fbcbd514 100644 --- a/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs +++ b/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs @@ -717,6 +717,22 @@ pub enum PsychometricError { /// `q / (trait + p + added)` was treated as p. 16 `DIFFUSIONstd`. /// Footnote 4 uses only `asymDIFFUSION`, not `TRAITVAR`.

Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series is not the lagged within-person residual (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608). Metric/weak invariance licenses shared metric meaning only. Latent-mean comparison requires strong (equal loading and intercept) or strict invariance (Putnick & Bornstein, 2016, PMC5145197 opened 2026-08-19T22:15Z: scalar is required for latent means; residual invariance is not). Two-observation series have no residual degrees of freedom and cap at strong/scalar; identically-zero OLS residual variance is not strict. This two-group OLS gate is not MGCFA. +The executable multilevel slice is cluster-mean centering (CWC) plus within/between OLS, the CWC contextual effect (`between − within`), and Kish-weighted slopes. Enders and Tofighi (2007, Table 2, pp. 124–127) show that the CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the contextual effect, not the between-cluster effect. It is not DSEM and not RI-CLPM. The executable temporal slice maps a discrete lag through the exact scalar exponential `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time only (Voelkle, Oud, Davidov, & Schmidt, 2012, Eq. 7; Driver, Oud, & Voelkle, 2017, Eq. 3), recovers the forward map `φ(Δt) = exp(a Δt)`, remaps a discrete lag onto another event interval through that log-rate, recovers the exact scalar discrete effect of a constant predictor (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 12) as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows, and in log space when `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z` (`a_yx = 0` is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed), recovers the first-order discrete effect of a time-varying predictor with matched sampling and constancy intervals as `a_yx Δt` (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 14; ZORA accepted manuscript p. 21; not Eq. 12; unmatched intervals fail closed because Oud & Jansen, 2000, is unread), recovers the exact scalar discrete process noise `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3;

The CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the **contextual** effect, not the between-cluster effect. Discrete lags from different event intervals are not one coefficient. Equation 14 is not Equation 12. Discrete process noise \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the continuous diffusion \(GG^{\top}\). \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is the conditional residual variance, not \(\operatorname{Var}(\eta_{t})\). Finite-interval \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the stationary within-subject variance. Trait variance is not process noise and not the stationary within-subject variance.

The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TIPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_b z` is not the Eq. 3 process increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `κ`, and not `M x`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z` and is not that process increment. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TI-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-T0TIPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TDPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `κ`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0` and is not that within-interval impulse carry. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TD-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. Same numbers as `T0TIPREDEFFECT` yield the same product; Table 3 names a different matrix. The evolved-plus-T0TDPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The §7.2 level-change `CINT` `κ = −a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Lasting level change via that `CINT` setting requires `a < 0`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not that `CINT` setting. The Eq. 3 increment of that setting `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps the equilibrium offset `m x`. The §7.2 extra-process contribution `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. Lasting level change via that extra process requires `ε < 0`. Precisely `ε = 0` causes computational problems in the printed specification. The extra-process observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` is not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`, not the contribution, and not the evolved-plus-contribution latent mean. The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. Table 2 `asymCINT` `-κ / a` is the intercept contribution to the stationary process mean. It is not `κ`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. Lasting asymptotic intercept change via that map requires `a < 0`. Page 16 notes that a `T0MEANS` stationarity constraint includes time-independent predictors; that composition is not this intercept-only map. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion mean `-κ / a + −B z / a` is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` is not `τ + λ μ_0`, not `τ + λ(−κ / a)` when `B z ≠ 0`, not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `MANIFESTMEANS`, and not the constrained latent mean. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, not later-occasion variance, not `e^{a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. A zero-diffusion carry with `a ≥ 0` is `e^{a Δt} p_0` and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined lagged latent covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary first-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not free `p_0`, not lagged covariance, and not later-occasion variance. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay and do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary first-occasion map. As `Δt → 0+` the lagged and later maps approach this composition. Trait-only variance does not require a stable drift. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined first-occasion latent variance, not stationary first-occasion observed variance, and not predetermined later observed variance when `p_0` is free. The later-start lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` is not first-occasion lagged covariance when `u > 0`, not later-occasion variance, not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, and not `e^{a s}` of the later total. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a s}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches first-occasion lagged covariance. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start lagged latent covariance, not first-occasion lagged observed covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-start later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` is not later-occasion variance at `u` when `s > 0`, not later-start lagged covariance, not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a s}` of the later total plus `Q_s`, and not later-occasion variance over the lag interval alone when `u > 0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_s`. Chapman–Kolmogorov writes `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance over `s`. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start later-occasion latent variance, not predetermined later observed variance, not later-start lagged observed covariance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (footnote 4: standardise `DRIFT` using only within-subject variance, not the total). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `discreteDIFFUSIONstd` is `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (footnote 4: standardise process noise using only within-subject variance, not the total). Unstandardised `Q_Δt` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. The continuous standardisation `q / (−q / (2 a)) = −2 a` is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `Q_Δt / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DIFFUSIONstd` is `q / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (footnote 4: standardise process noise using only within-subject variance, not the total). Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a)) = 1 − exp(2 a Δt)` depends on the event interval and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. +This is two-level OLS and a noiseless scalar continuous-time map. It is not DSEM, not RI-CLPM, not a random-effects sampler, not a Kalman filter, and not a matrix `expm` implementation. The CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the **contextual** effect, not the between-cluster effect. Discrete lags from different event intervals are not one coefficient. Equation 14 is not Equation 12. Discrete process noise \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the continuous diffusion \(GG^{\top}\). \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is the conditional residual variance, not \(\operatorname{Var}(\eta_{t})\). Finite-interval \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the stationary within-subject variance. Trait variance is not process noise and not the stationary within-subject variance. Measurement-error variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Latent variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Manifest means are not the observed-indicator mean. The latent mean is not the observed-indicator mean. The continuous intercept is not the manifest mean. The first-occasion latent mean is not the evolved latent mean. The continuous intercept is not the discrete mean increment. The first-occasion observed mean is not the evolved observed mean. The contemporaneous `TDPREDEFFECT` impulse is not the continuous intercept, not the time-independent discrete effect, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The time-independent `TIPREDEFFECT` increment is not the continuous intercept, not the contemporaneous impulse, not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14), and not the coefficient `B`. The within-interval `TDPREDEFFECT` carry `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the contemporaneous-impulse observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not the impulse-carry observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` when `u ≠ t`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the impulse-carry observed mean. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the time-independent-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TIPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_b z` is not the Eq. 3 process increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `κ`, and not `M x`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z` and is not that process increment. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TI-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-T0TIPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TDPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `κ`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0` and is not that within-interval impulse carry. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TD-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. Same numbers as `T0TIPREDEFFECT` yield the same product; Table 3 names a different matrix. The evolved-plus-T0TDPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The §7.2 level-change `CINT` `κ = −a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Lasting level change via that `CINT` setting requires `a < 0`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not that `CINT` setting. The Eq. 3 increment of that setting `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps the equilibrium offset `m x`. The §7.2 extra-process contribution `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. Lasting level change via that extra process requires `ε < 0`. Precisely `ε = 0` causes computational problems in the printed specification. The extra-process observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` is not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`, not the contribution, and not the evolved-plus-contribution latent mean. The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. Table 2 `asymCINT` `-κ / a` is the intercept contribution to the stationary process mean. It is not `κ`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. Lasting asymptotic intercept change via that map requires `a < 0`. Page 16 notes that a `T0MEANS` stationarity constraint includes time-independent predictors; that composition is not this intercept-only map. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion mean `-κ / a + −B z / a` is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` is not `τ + λ μ_0`, not `τ + λ(−κ / a)` when `B z ≠ 0`, not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `MANIFESTMEANS`, and not the constrained latent mean. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, not later-occasion variance, not `e^{a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. A zero-diffusion carry with `a ≥ 0` is `e^{a Δt} p_0` and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined lagged latent covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary first-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not free `p_0`, not lagged covariance, and not later-occasion variance. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay and do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary first-occasion map. As `Δt → 0+` the lagged and later maps approach this composition. Trait-only variance does not require a stable drift. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined first-occasion latent variance, not stationary first-occasion observed variance, and not predetermined later observed variance when `p_0` is free. The later-start lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` is not first-occasion lagged covariance when `u > 0`, not later-occasion variance, not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, and not `e^{a s}` of the later total. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a s}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches first-occasion lagged covariance. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start lagged latent covariance, not first-occasion lagged observed covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-start later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` is not later-occasion variance at `u` when `s > 0`, not later-start lagged covariance, not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a s}` of the later total plus `Q_s`, and not later-occasion variance over the lag interval alone when `u > 0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_s`. Chapman–Kolmogorov writes `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance over `s`. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start later-occasion latent variance, not predetermined later observed variance, not later-start lagged observed covariance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free.

Footnote 4 standardises using only the relevant variance, not the total. For asymTIPREDEFFECT the affecting variance is TIPREDVAR and the affected variance is within-subject asymDIFFUSION. Form strictly positive -q/(2a) and v first, then (-B/a)·√v/√p. Unstandardised -B/a is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance; standardised asymTIPREDEFFECT is not. Finite-interval A^{-1}[e^{AΔt}−I]B·√v/√p is not asymTIPREDEFFECTstd. (-B/a)·√v/√(trait+p+added) uses TRAITVAR and is not asymTIPREDEFFECTstd.

This is two-group OLS, not MGCFA. Meredith (1993) names remain unread labels. -- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Later-start lagged covariance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T10:27Z). First-occasion lagged omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Later-occasion variance does not lag. Stationary lagged uses `−q / (2 a)`. Decaying the later total is not that map. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²` of it plus `ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. First-occasion lagged observed omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Later-start later-occasion variance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 3–4 Chapman–Kolmogorov `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:05Z). Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s`. Later-start lagged covariance omits `Q_s`. Stationary later uses `−q / (2 a)`. Evolving the later total as if it were all state is not that map. Ignoring `startoffset` omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance is `λ²` of it plus `θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that observed variance. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; footnote 4; §7.1; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:40Z). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `discreteDIFFUSIONstd` is `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:06Z). Unstandardised `Q_Δt` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. The continuous standardisation `−2 a` is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `Q_Δt / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DIFFUSIONstd` is `q / (−q / (2 a)) = −2 a` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:20Z). Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` depends on `Δt` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DRIFTstd` is the continuous auto-effect after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 1; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:28Z). Unstandardised `a` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DRIFTstd`. The discrete standardisation `e^{a Δt}` depends on the event interval and is not `DRIFTstd`. `a p / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. +- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Later-start lagged covariance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T10:27Z). First-occasion lagged omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Later-occasion variance does not lag. Stationary lagged uses `−q / (2 a)`. Decaying the later total is not that map. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²` of it plus `ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. First-occasion lagged observed omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Later-start later-occasion variance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 3–4 Chapman–Kolmogorov `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:05Z). Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s`. Later-start lagged covariance omits `Q_s`. Stationary later uses `−q / (2 a)`. Evolving the later total as if it were all state is not that map. Ignoring `startoffset` omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance is `λ²` of it plus `θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that observed variance. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; footnote 4; §7.1; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:40Z). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `discreteDIFFUSIONstd` is `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:06Z). Unstandardised `Q_Δt` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. The continuous standardisation `−2 a` is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `Q_Δt / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DIFFUSIONstd` is `q / (−q / (2 a)) = −2 a` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:20Z). Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` depends on `Δt` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DRIFTstd` is the continuous auto-effect after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 1; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:28Z). Unstandardised `a` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DRIFTstd`. The discrete standardisation `e^{a Δt}` depends on the event interval and is not `DRIFTstd`. `a p / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` is `(-B / a) · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T14:25Z). Unstandardised `-B / a` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `(-B / a) · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. - Separate cluster means before within-unit lag. CWC plus an event-time lag is not DSEM. Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series does not isolate the lagged within-person effect (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608); already-centered residuals with irregular event intervals use the exact scalar map. - Do not treat the CWC cluster-mean coefficient as the between-cluster effect. It is the contextual effect `between − within` (Enders & Tofighi, 2007, Table 2, pp. 124–127). - Never use future-available evidence in historical model fits. diff --git a/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs b/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs index 8fbcbd514..68d40355d 100644 --- a/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs +++ b/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs @@ -733,6 +733,30 @@ pub enum PsychometricError { /// `a p / (trait + p + added)` was treated as p. 16 `DRIFTstd`. /// Footnote 4 uses only `asymDIFFUSION`, not `TRAITVAR`.

ZORA accepted manuscript p. 21; not Eq. 12; unmatched intervals fail closed because Oud & Jansen, 2000, is unread), recovers the exact scalar discrete process noise `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3;

do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)`, `a = -from_bits(1)` → `0.5`); `a ≥ 0` and finite-interval `Q_Δt` fail closed as that limit), recovers the exact scalar trait-plus-state variance `trait + state` and lagged covariance `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9;

`a p / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DRIFTstd`; `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance)))), and refuses the difference quotient, pooling discrete lags from unequal intervals, and a binary64 underflow of that exponential to `+0` (not a discrete lag). The first-order product `a_yx Δt` is Eq. 14 and the underflow limit of Eq. 12, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. Already-centered residuals may have irregular event intervals. Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series is not the lagged within-person residual (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608). Metric/weak invariance licenses shared metric meaning only. Latent-mean comparison requires strong (equal loading and intercept) or strict invariance (Putnick & Bornstein, 2016, PMC5145197 opened 2026-08-19T22:15Z: scalar is required for latent means; residual invariance is not). Two-observation series have no residual degrees of freedom and cap at strong/scalar; identically-zero OLS residual variance is not strict. This two-group OLS gate is not MGCFA. +The executable multilevel slice is cluster-mean centering (CWC) plus within/between OLS, the CWC contextual effect (`between − within`), and Kish-weighted slopes. Enders and Tofighi (2007, Table 2, pp. 124–127) show that the CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the contextual effect, not the between-cluster effect. It is not DSEM and not RI-CLPM. The executable temporal slice maps a discrete lag through the exact scalar exponential `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time only (Voelkle, Oud, Davidov, & Schmidt, 2012, Eq. 7; Driver, Oud, & Voelkle, 2017, Eq. 3), recovers the forward map `φ(Δt) = exp(a Δt)`, remaps a discrete lag onto another event interval through that log-rate, recovers the exact scalar discrete effect of a constant predictor (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 12) as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows, and in log space when `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z` (`a_yx = 0` is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed), recovers the first-order discrete effect of a time-varying predictor with matched sampling and constancy intervals as `a_yx Δt` (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 14; ZORA accepted manuscript p. 21; not Eq. 12; unmatched intervals fail closed because Oud & Jansen, 2000, is unread), recovers the exact scalar discrete process noise `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-18T07:06Z, p. 4; scalar `L = 1`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; `z → −∞` keeps `−0.5 q / a`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; `z → +∞` and an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fail closed), recovers the exact scalar lagged latent covariance `exp(a Δt) p` and the law-of-total-variance map `Var(η_t) = exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-18T18:03Z; JSS has no numbered §2.2; `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})` and is refused as the unconditional variance; a zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` fails closed), recovers the exact scalar stationary within-subject variance `-q / (2 a)` as the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4 for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3 T0VAR stationarity; when `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`; CodeRabbit on `75ecdd3`); when `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`; do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)`, `a = -from_bits(1)` → `0.5`); `a ≥ 0` and finite-interval `Q_Δt` fail closed as that limit), recovers the exact scalar trait-plus-state variance `trait + state` and lagged covariance `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-18T21:07Z; a stable trait has `DRIFT` and `DIFFUSION` fixed to zero; `TRAITVAR` is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`; evolving the summed variance as if it were all state fails the claim boundary; this is not RI-CLPM), recovers the exact scalar observed-indicator variance `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise, and the lagged observed covariance `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5;

`MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`; `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`; `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`), recovers the exact scalar observed-indicator mean `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5;

The first-order product `a_yx Δt` is Eq. 14 and the underflow limit of Eq. 12, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. Already-centered residuals may have irregular event intervals. Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series is not the lagged within-person residual (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608). Metric/weak invariance licenses shared metric meaning only. Latent-mean comparison requires strong (equal loading and intercept) or strict invariance (Putnick & Bornstein, 2016, PMC5145197 opened 2026-08-19T22:15Z: scalar is required for latent means; residual invariance is not). Two-observation series have no residual degrees of freedom and cap at strong/scalar; identically-zero OLS residual variance is not strict. This two-group OLS gate is not MGCFA. Input/process/intervention/outcome paths obey event-time order.

It is not DSEM, not RI-CLPM, not a random-effects sampler, not a Kalman filter, and not a matrix `expm` implementation. The CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the **contextual** effect, not the between-cluster effect. Discrete lags from different event intervals are not one coefficient. Equation 14 is not Equation 12. Discrete process noise \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the continuous diffusion \(GG^{\top}\). \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is the conditional residual variance, not \(\operatorname{Var}(\eta_{t})\). Finite-interval \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the stationary within-subject variance. Trait variance is not process noise and not the stationary within-subject variance. Measurement-error variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Latent variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Manifest means are not the observed-indicator mean. The latent mean is not the observed-indicator mean. The continuous intercept is not the manifest mean. The first-occasion latent mean is not the evolved latent mean. The continuous intercept is not the discrete mean increment. The first-occasion observed mean is not the evolved observed mean. The contemporaneous `TDPREDEFFECT` impulse is not the continuous intercept, not the time-independent discrete effect, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The time-independent `TIPREDEFFECT` increment is not the continuous intercept, not the contemporaneous impulse, not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14), and not the coefficient `B`. The within-interval `TDPREDEFFECT` carry `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the contemporaneous-impulse observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not the impulse-carry observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` when `u ≠ t`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the impulse-carry observed mean. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the time-independent-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TIPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_b z` is not the Eq. 3 process increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `κ`, and not `M x`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z` and is not that process increment. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TI-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-T0TIPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TDPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `κ`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0` and is not that within-interval impulse carry. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TD-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. Same numbers as `T0TIPREDEFFECT` yield the same product; Table 3 names a different matrix. The evolved-plus-T0TDPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The §7.2 level-change `CINT` `κ = −a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Lasting level change via that `CINT` setting requires `a < 0`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not that `CINT` setting. The Eq. 3 increment of that setting `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps the equilibrium offset `m x`. The §7.2 extra-process contribution `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. Lasting level change via that extra process requires `ε < 0`. Precisely `ε = 0` causes computational problems in the printed specification. The extra-process observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` is not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`, not the contribution, and not the evolved-plus-contribution latent mean. The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. Table 2 `asymCINT` `-κ / a` is the intercept contribution to the stationary process mean. It is not `κ`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. Lasting asymptotic intercept change via that map requires `a < 0`. Page 16 notes that a `T0MEANS` stationarity constraint includes time-independent predictors; that composition is not this intercept-only map. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion mean `-κ / a + −B z / a` is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` is not `τ + λ μ_0`, not `τ + λ(−κ / a)` when `B z ≠ 0`, not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `MANIFESTMEANS`, and not the constrained latent mean. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, not later-occasion variance, not `e^{a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. A zero-diffusion carry with `a ≥ 0` is `e^{a Δt} p_0` and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined lagged latent covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary first-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not free `p_0`, not lagged covariance, and not later-occasion variance. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay and do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary first-occasion map. As `Δt → 0+` the lagged and later maps approach this composition. Trait-only variance does not require a stable drift. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined first-occasion latent variance, not stationary first-occasion observed variance, and not predetermined later observed variance when `p_0` is free. The later-start lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` is not first-occasion lagged covariance when `u > 0`, not later-occasion variance, not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, and not `e^{a s}` of the later total. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a s}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches first-occasion lagged covariance. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start lagged latent covariance, not first-occasion lagged observed covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-start later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` is not later-occasion variance at `u` when `s > 0`, not later-start lagged covariance, not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a s}` of the later total plus `Q_s`, and not later-occasion variance over the lag interval alone when `u > 0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_s`. Chapman–Kolmogorov writes `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance over `s`. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start later-occasion latent variance, not predetermined later observed variance, not later-start lagged observed covariance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free.

The CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the **contextual** effect, not the between-cluster effect. Discrete lags from different event intervals are not one coefficient. Equation 14 is not Equation 12. Discrete process noise \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the continuous diffusion \(GG^{\top}\). \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is the conditional residual variance, not \(\operatorname{Var}(\eta_{t})\).

The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the contemporaneous-impulse observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not the impulse-carry observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` when `u ≠ t`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the impulse-carry observed mean. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the time-independent-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TIPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_b z` is not the Eq. 3 process increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `κ`, and not `M x`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z` and is not that process increment. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TI-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-T0TIPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TDPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `κ`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0` and is not that within-interval impulse carry. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TD-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. Same numbers as `T0TIPREDEFFECT` yield the same product; Table 3 names a different matrix. The evolved-plus-T0TDPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The §7.2 level-change `CINT` `κ = −a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Lasting level change via that `CINT` setting requires `a < 0`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not that `CINT` setting. The Eq. 3 increment of that setting `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps the equilibrium offset `m x`. The §7.2 extra-process contribution `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. Lasting level change via that extra process requires `ε < 0`. Precisely `ε = 0` causes computational problems in the printed specification. The extra-process observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` is not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`, not the contribution, and not the evolved-plus-contribution latent mean. The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. Table 2 `asymCINT` `-κ / a` is the intercept contribution to the stationary process mean. It is not `κ`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. Lasting asymptotic intercept change via that map requires `a < 0`. Page 16 notes that a `T0MEANS` stationarity constraint includes time-independent predictors; that composition is not this intercept-only map. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion mean `-κ / a + −B z / a` is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` is not `τ + λ μ_0`, not `τ + λ(−κ / a)` when `B z ≠ 0`, not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `MANIFESTMEANS`, and not the constrained latent mean. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, not later-occasion variance, not `e^{a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. A zero-diffusion carry with `a ≥ 0` is `e^{a Δt} p_0` and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined lagged latent covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary first-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not free `p_0`, not lagged covariance, and not later-occasion variance. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay and do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary first-occasion map. As `Δt → 0+` the lagged and later maps approach this composition. Trait-only variance does not require a stable drift. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined first-occasion latent variance, not stationary first-occasion observed variance, and not predetermined later observed variance when `p_0` is free. The later-start lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` is not first-occasion lagged covariance when `u > 0`, not later-occasion variance, not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, and not `e^{a s}` of the later total. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a s}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches first-occasion lagged covariance. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start lagged latent covariance, not first-occasion lagged observed covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-start later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` is not later-occasion variance at `u` when `s > 0`, not later-start lagged covariance, not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a s}` of the later total plus `Q_s`, and not later-occasion variance over the lag interval alone when `u > 0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_s`. Chapman–Kolmogorov writes `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance over `s`. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start later-occasion latent variance, not predetermined later observed variance, not later-start lagged observed covariance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free.

The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance.

The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a)) = 1 − exp(2 a Δt)` depends on the event interval and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DRIFTstd` is the continuous auto-effect after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (footnote 4: standardise `DRIFT` using only within-subject variance, not the total). Unstandardised `a` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DRIFTstd`. The discrete standardisation `e^{a Δt}` depends on the event interval and is not `DRIFTstd`. `a p / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance.

Unstandardised `-B / a` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `(-B / a) · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. ## Authoritative sources @@ -200,3 +202,4 @@ The Voelkle et al.

This is two-group OLS, not MGCFA. Meredith (1993) names remain unread labels. -- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Later-start lagged covariance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T10:27Z). First-occasion lagged omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Later-occasion variance does not lag. Stationary lagged uses `−q / (2 a)`. Decaying the later total is not that map. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²` of it plus `ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. First-occasion lagged observed omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Later-start later-occasion variance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 3–4 Chapman–Kolmogorov `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:05Z). Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s`. Later-start lagged covariance omits `Q_s`. Stationary later uses `−q / (2 a)`. Evolving the later total as if it were all state is not that map. Ignoring `startoffset` omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance is `λ²` of it plus `θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that observed variance. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; footnote 4; §7.1; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:40Z). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `discreteDIFFUSIONstd` is `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:06Z). Unstandardised `Q_Δt` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. The continuous standardisation `−2 a` is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `Q_Δt / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DIFFUSIONstd` is `q / (−q / (2 a)) = −2 a` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:20Z). Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` depends on `Δt` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DRIFTstd` is the continuous auto-effect after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 1; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:28Z). Unstandardised `a` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DRIFTstd`. The discrete standardisation `e^{a Δt}` depends on the event interval and is not `DRIFTstd`. `a p / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` is `(-B / a) · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T14:25Z). Unstandardised `-B / a` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `(-B / a) · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. +- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Later-start lagged covariance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T10:27Z). First-occasion lagged omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Later-occasion variance does not lag. Stationary lagged uses `−q / (2 a)`. Decaying the later total is not that map. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²` of it plus `ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. First-occasion lagged observed omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Later-start later-occasion variance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 3–4 Chapman–Kolmogorov `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:05Z). Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s`. Later-start lagged covariance omits `Q_s`. Stationary later uses `−q / (2 a)`. Evolving the later total as if it were all state is not that map. Ignoring `startoffset` omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance is `λ²` of it plus `θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that observed variance. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; footnote 4; §7.1; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:40Z). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `discreteDIFFUSIONstd` is `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:06Z). Unstandardised `Q_Δt` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. The continuous standardisation `−2 a` is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `Q_Δt / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DIFFUSIONstd` is `q / (−q / (2 a)) = −2 a` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:20Z). Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` depends on `Δt` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DRIFTstd` is the continuous auto-effect after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 1; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:28Z). Unstandardised `a` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DRIFTstd`. The discrete standardisation `e^{a Δt}` depends on the event interval and is not `DRIFTstd`. `a p / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` is `(-B / a) · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T14:25Z). Unstandardised `-B / a` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `(-B / a) · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. The p. 16 finite-interval standardised `TIPREDEFFECT` is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-24T01:20Z). Unstandardised `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not the standardised finite-interval map. `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the `Δt → ∞` map and is not the finite-interval map. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not the finite-interval map. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. - Separate cluster means before within-unit lag. CWC plus an event-time lag is not DSEM. Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series does not isolate the lagged within-person effect (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608); already-centered residuals with irregular event intervals use the exact scalar map. - Do not treat the CWC cluster-mean coefficient as the between-cluster effect. It is the contextual effect `between − within` (Enders & Tofighi, 2007, Table 2, pp. 124–127). - Never use future-available evidence in historical model fits. diff --git a/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs b/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs index 68d40355d..2f15c2eda 100644 --- a/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs +++ b/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs @@ -757,6 +757,33 @@ pub enum PsychometricError { /// `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`.

Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series is not the lagged within-person residual (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608). Metric/weak invariance licenses shared metric meaning only. Latent-mean comparison requires strong (equal loading and intercept) or strict invariance (Putnick & Bornstein, 2016, PMC5145197 opened 2026-08-19T22:15Z: scalar is required for latent means; residual invariance is not). Two-observation series have no residual degrees of freedom and cap at strong/scalar; identically-zero OLS residual variance is not strict. This two-group OLS gate is not MGCFA. +The executable multilevel slice is cluster-mean centering (CWC) plus within/between OLS, the CWC contextual effect (`between − within`), and Kish-weighted slopes. Enders and Tofighi (2007, Table 2, pp. 124–127) show that the CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the contextual effect, not the between-cluster effect. It is not DSEM and not RI-CLPM. The executable temporal slice maps a discrete lag through the exact scalar exponential `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time only (Voelkle, Oud, Davidov, & Schmidt, 2012, Eq. 7; Driver, Oud, & Voelkle, 2017, Eq. 3), recovers the forward map `φ(Δt) = exp(a Δt)`, remaps a discrete lag onto another event interval through that log-rate, recovers the exact scalar discrete effect of a constant predictor (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 12) as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows, and in log space when `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z` (`a_yx = 0` is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed), recovers the first-order discrete effect of a time-varying predictor with matched sampling and constancy intervals as `a_yx Δt` (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 14; ZORA accepted manuscript p. 21; not Eq. 12; unmatched intervals fail closed because Oud & Jansen, 2000, is unread), recovers the exact scalar discrete process noise `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3;

Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series is not the lagged within-person residual (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608). Metric/weak invariance licenses shared metric meaning only. Latent-mean comparison requires strong (equal loading and intercept) or strict invariance (Putnick & Bornstein, 2016, PMC5145197 opened 2026-08-19T22:15Z: scalar is required for latent means; residual invariance is not). Two-observation series have no residual degrees of freedom and cap at strong/scalar; identically-zero OLS residual variance is not strict. This two-group OLS gate is not MGCFA. Input/process/intervention/outcome paths obey event-time order. Temporal precedence, document linkage, event tracking, or model prediction alone do not justify causal language. diff --git a/docs/research/multilevel-event-time-recovery.md b/docs/research/multilevel-event-time-recovery.md index 005cfe54c..591e2c8bd 100644 --- a/docs/research/multilevel-event-time-recovery.md +++ b/docs/research/multilevel-event-time-recovery.md @@ -68,15 +68,17 @@ This slice stays inside `psychometric_core`.

It is not DSEM, not RI-CLPM, not a random-effects sampler, not a Kalman filter, and not a matrix `expm` implementation. The CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the **contextual** effect, not the between-cluster effect. Discrete lags from different event intervals are not one coefficient. Equation 14 is not Equation 12. Discrete process noise \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the continuous diffusion \(GG^{\top}\). \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is the conditional residual variance, not \(\operatorname{Var}(\eta_{t})\). Finite-interval \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the stationary within-subject variance. Trait variance is not process noise and not the stationary within-subject variance. Measurement-error variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Latent variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Manifest means are not the observed-indicator mean. The latent mean is not the observed-indicator mean. The continuous intercept is not the manifest mean. The first-occasion latent mean is not the evolved latent mean. The continuous intercept is not the discrete mean increment. The first-occasion observed mean is not the evolved observed mean. The contemporaneous `TDPREDEFFECT` impulse is not the continuous intercept, not the time-independent discrete effect, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The time-independent `TIPREDEFFECT` increment is not the continuous intercept, not the contemporaneous impulse, not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14), and not the coefficient `B`. The within-interval `TDPREDEFFECT` carry `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the contemporaneous-impulse observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not the impulse-carry observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` when `u ≠ t`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the impulse-carry observed mean. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the time-independent-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TIPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_b z` is not the Eq. 3 process increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `κ`, and not `M x`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z` and is not that process increment. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TI-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-T0TIPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TDPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `κ`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0` and is not that within-interval impulse carry. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TD-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. Same numbers as `T0TIPREDEFFECT` yield the same product; Table 3 names a different matrix. The evolved-plus-T0TDPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The §7.2 level-change `CINT` `κ = −a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Lasting level change via that `CINT` setting requires `a < 0`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not that `CINT` setting. The Eq. 3 increment of that setting `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps the equilibrium offset `m x`. The §7.2 extra-process contribution `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. Lasting level change via that extra process requires `ε < 0`. Precisely `ε = 0` causes computational problems in the printed specification. The extra-process observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` is not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`, not the contribution, and not the evolved-plus-contribution latent mean. The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. Table 2 `asymCINT` `-κ / a` is the intercept contribution to the stationary process mean. It is not `κ`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. Lasting asymptotic intercept change via that map requires `a < 0`. Page 16 notes that a `T0MEANS` stationarity constraint includes time-independent predictors; that composition is not this intercept-only map. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion mean `-κ / a + −B z / a` is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` is not `τ + λ μ_0`, not `τ + λ(−κ / a)` when `B z ≠ 0`, not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `MANIFESTMEANS`, and not the constrained latent mean. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, not later-occasion variance, not `e^{a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. A zero-diffusion carry with `a ≥ 0` is `e^{a Δt} p_0` and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined lagged latent covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary first-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not free `p_0`, not lagged covariance, and not later-occasion variance. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay and do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary first-occasion map. As `Δt → 0+` the lagged and later maps approach this composition. Trait-only variance does not require a stable drift. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined first-occasion latent variance, not stationary first-occasion observed variance, and not predetermined later observed variance when `p_0` is free. The later-start lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` is not first-occasion lagged covariance when `u > 0`, not later-occasion variance, not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, and not `e^{a s}` of the later total. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a s}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches first-occasion lagged covariance. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start lagged latent covariance, not first-occasion lagged observed covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-start later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` is not later-occasion variance at `u` when `s > 0`, not later-start lagged covariance, not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a s}` of the later total plus `Q_s`, and not later-occasion variance over the lag interval alone when `u > 0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_s`. Chapman–Kolmogorov writes `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance over `s`. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start later-occasion latent variance, not predetermined later observed variance, not later-start lagged observed covariance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free.

The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance.

Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a)) = 1 − exp(2 a Δt)` depends on the event interval and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance.

Unstandardised `-B / a` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `(-B / a) · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. +This is two-level OLS and a noiseless scalar continuous-time map.

The Eq. 3 increment of that setting `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps the equilibrium offset `m x`. The §7.2 extra-process contribution `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. Lasting level change via that extra process requires `ε < 0`. Precisely `ε = 0` causes computational problems in the printed specification. The extra-process observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` is not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`, not the contribution, and not the evolved-plus-contribution latent mean. The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. Table 2 `asymCINT` `-κ / a` is the intercept contribution to the stationary process mean. It is not `κ`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. Lasting asymptotic intercept change via that map requires `a < 0`. Page 16 notes that a `T0MEANS` stationarity constraint includes time-independent predictors; that composition is not this intercept-only map. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion mean `-κ / a + −B z / a` is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` is not `τ + λ μ_0`, not `τ + λ(−κ / a)` when `B z ≠ 0`, not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `MANIFESTMEANS`, and not the constrained latent mean. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, not later-occasion variance, not `e^{a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. A zero-diffusion carry with `a ≥ 0` is `e^{a Δt} p_0` and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined lagged latent covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary first-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not free `p_0`, not lagged covariance, and not later-occasion variance. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay and do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary first-occasion map. As `Δt → 0+` the lagged and later maps approach this composition. Trait-only variance does not require a stable drift. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined first-occasion latent variance, not stationary first-occasion observed variance, and not predetermined later observed variance when `p_0` is free. The later-start lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` is not first-occasion lagged covariance when `u > 0`, not later-occasion variance, not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, and not `e^{a s}` of the later total. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a s}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches first-occasion lagged covariance. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start lagged latent covariance, not first-occasion lagged observed covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-start later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` is not later-occasion variance at `u` when `s > 0`, not later-start lagged covariance, not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a s}` of the later total plus `Q_s`, and not later-occasion variance over the lag interval alone when `u > 0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_s`. Chapman–Kolmogorov writes `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance over `s`. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start later-occasion latent variance, not predetermined later observed variance, not later-start lagged observed covariance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free.

The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `(-B / a) · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. The p. 16 finite-interval standardised `TIPREDEFFECT` is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (footnote 4: standardise using only the relevant variance, not the total; the affecting variance is `TIPREDVAR`; the affected variance is `asymDIFFUSION`).

Footnote 4 standardises using only the relevant variance, not the total. For TIPREDEFFECT the affecting variance is TIPREDVAR and the affected variance is within-subject asymDIFFUSION. Form strictly positive -q/(2a) and v first, then B·√v/√p. Unstandardised B is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance; standardised TIPREDEFFECT is not. Asymptotic (-B/a)·√v/√p is not TIPREDEFFECTstd. Finite-interval A^{-1}[e^{AΔt}−I]B·√v/√p is not TIPREDEFFECTstd. B·√v/√(trait+p+added) uses TRAITVAR and is not TIPREDEFFECTstd.

Footnote 4: standardisations use only the relevant variance, not the total. The affecting variance is predictor variance `TIPREDVAR` `v`. The affected variance is within-subject `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)`, because the process dynamics are individual, or average individual, temporal dynamics.

This is two-group OLS, not MGCFA. Meredith (1993) names remain unread labels. -- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Later-start lagged covariance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T10:27Z). First-occasion lagged omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Later-occasion variance does not lag. Stationary lagged uses `−q / (2 a)`. Decaying the later total is not that map. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²` of it plus `ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. First-occasion lagged observed omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Later-start later-occasion variance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 3–4 Chapman–Kolmogorov `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:05Z). Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s`. Later-start lagged covariance omits `Q_s`. Stationary later uses `−q / (2 a)`. Evolving the later total as if it were all state is not that map. Ignoring `startoffset` omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance is `λ²` of it plus `θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that observed variance. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; footnote 4; §7.1; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:40Z). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `discreteDIFFUSIONstd` is `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:06Z). Unstandardised `Q_Δt` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. The continuous standardisation `−2 a` is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `Q_Δt / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DIFFUSIONstd` is `q / (−q / (2 a)) = −2 a` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:20Z). Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` depends on `Δt` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DRIFTstd` is the continuous auto-effect after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 1; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:28Z). Unstandardised `a` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DRIFTstd`. The discrete standardisation `e^{a Δt}` depends on the event interval and is not `DRIFTstd`. `a p / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` is `(-B / a) · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T14:25Z). Unstandardised `-B / a` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `(-B / a) · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. +- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Later-start lagged covariance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T10:27Z). First-occasion lagged omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Later-occasion variance does not lag. Stationary lagged uses `−q / (2 a)`. Decaying the later total is not that map. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²` of it plus `ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. First-occasion lagged observed omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Later-start later-occasion variance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 3–4 Chapman–Kolmogorov `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:05Z). Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s`. Later-start lagged covariance omits `Q_s`. Stationary later uses `−q / (2 a)`. Evolving the later total as if it were all state is not that map. Ignoring `startoffset` omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance is `λ²` of it plus `θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that observed variance. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; footnote 4; §7.1; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:40Z). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `discreteDIFFUSIONstd` is `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:06Z). Unstandardised `Q_Δt` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. The continuous standardisation `−2 a` is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `Q_Δt / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DIFFUSIONstd` is `q / (−q / (2 a)) = −2 a` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:20Z). Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` depends on `Δt` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DRIFTstd` is the continuous auto-effect after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 1; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:28Z). Unstandardised `a` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DRIFTstd`. The discrete standardisation `e^{a Δt}` depends on the event interval and is not `DRIFTstd`. `a p / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` is `(-B / a) · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T14:25Z). Unstandardised `-B / a` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `(-B / a) · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T16:21Z). Unstandardised `B` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The asymptotic standardisation `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `B · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. - Separate cluster means before within-unit lag. CWC plus an event-time lag is not DSEM. Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series does not isolate the lagged within-person effect (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608); already-centered residuals with irregular event intervals use the exact scalar map. - Do not treat the CWC cluster-mean coefficient as the between-cluster effect. It is the contextual effect `between − within` (Enders & Tofighi, 2007, Table 2, pp. 124–127). - Never use future-available evidence in historical model fits. diff --git a/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs b/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs index 68d40355d..60d5f9933 100644 --- a/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs +++ b/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs @@ -757,6 +757,35 @@ pub enum PsychometricError { /// `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`.

Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series is not the lagged within-person residual (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608). Metric/weak invariance licenses shared metric meaning only. Latent-mean comparison requires strong (equal loading and intercept) or strict invariance (Putnick & Bornstein, 2016, PMC5145197 opened 2026-08-19T22:15Z: scalar is required for latent means; residual invariance is not). Two-observation series have no residual degrees of freedom and cap at strong/scalar; identically-zero OLS residual variance is not strict. This two-group OLS gate is not MGCFA. +The executable multilevel slice is cluster-mean centering (CWC) plus within/between OLS, the CWC contextual effect (`between − within`), and Kish-weighted slopes. Enders and Tofighi (2007, Table 2, pp. 124–127) show that the CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the contextual effect, not the between-cluster effect. It is not DSEM and not RI-CLPM. The executable temporal slice maps a discrete lag through the exact scalar exponential `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time only (Voelkle, Oud, Davidov, & Schmidt, 2012, Eq. 7; Driver, Oud, & Voelkle, 2017, Eq. 3), recovers the forward map `φ(Δt) = exp(a Δt)`, remaps a discrete lag onto another event interval through that log-rate, recovers the exact scalar discrete effect of a constant predictor (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 12) as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows, and in log space when `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z` (`a_yx = 0` is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed), recovers the first-order discrete effect of a time-varying predictor with matched sampling and constancy intervals as `a_yx Δt` (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 14; ZORA accepted manuscript p. 21; not Eq. 12; unmatched intervals fail closed because Oud & Jansen, 2000, is unread), recovers the exact scalar discrete process noise `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3;

Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series is not the lagged within-person residual (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608). Metric/weak invariance licenses shared metric meaning only. Latent-mean comparison requires strong (equal loading and intercept) or strict invariance (Putnick & Bornstein, 2016, PMC5145197 opened 2026-08-19T22:15Z: scalar is required for latent means; residual invariance is not). Two-observation series have no residual degrees of freedom and cap at strong/scalar; identically-zero OLS residual variance is not strict. This two-group OLS gate is not MGCFA.

It is not DSEM, not RI-CLPM, not a random-effects sampler, not a Kalman filter, and not a matrix `expm` implementation. The CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the **contextual** effect, not the between-cluster effect. Discrete lags from different event intervals are not one coefficient. Equation 14 is not Equation 12. Discrete process noise \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the continuous diffusion \(GG^{\top}\). \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is the conditional residual variance, not \(\operatorname{Var}(\eta_{t})\). Finite-interval \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the stationary within-subject variance. Trait variance is not process noise and not the stationary within-subject variance. Measurement-error variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Latent variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Manifest means are not the observed-indicator mean. The latent mean is not the observed-indicator mean. The continuous intercept is not the manifest mean. The first-occasion latent mean is not the evolved latent mean. The continuous intercept is not the discrete mean increment. The first-occasion observed mean is not the evolved observed mean. The contemporaneous `TDPREDEFFECT` impulse is not the continuous intercept, not the time-independent discrete effect, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The time-independent `TIPREDEFFECT` increment is not the continuous intercept, not the contemporaneous impulse, not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14), and not the coefficient `B`. The within-interval `TDPREDEFFECT` carry `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the contemporaneous-impulse observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not the impulse-carry observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` when `u ≠ t`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the impulse-carry observed mean. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the time-independent-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TIPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_b z` is not the Eq. 3 process increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `κ`, and not `M x`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z` and is not that process increment. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TI-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-T0TIPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TDPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `κ`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0` and is not that within-interval impulse carry. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TD-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. Same numbers as `T0TIPREDEFFECT` yield the same product; Table 3 names a different matrix. The evolved-plus-T0TDPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The §7.2 level-change `CINT` `κ = −a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Lasting level change via that `CINT` setting requires `a < 0`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not that `CINT` setting. The Eq. 3 increment of that setting `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps the equilibrium offset `m x`. The §7.2 extra-process contribution `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. Lasting level change via that extra process requires `ε < 0`. Precisely `ε = 0` causes computational problems in the printed specification. The extra-process observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` is not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`, not the contribution, and not the evolved-plus-contribution latent mean. The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. Table 2 `asymCINT` `-κ / a` is the intercept contribution to the stationary process mean. It is not `κ`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. Lasting asymptotic intercept change via that map requires `a < 0`. Page 16 notes that a `T0MEANS` stationarity constraint includes time-independent predictors; that composition is not this intercept-only map. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion mean `-κ / a + −B z / a` is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` is not `τ + λ μ_0`, not `τ + λ(−κ / a)` when `B z ≠ 0`, not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `MANIFESTMEANS`, and not the constrained latent mean. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, not later-occasion variance, not `e^{a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. A zero-diffusion carry with `a ≥ 0` is `e^{a Δt} p_0` and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined lagged latent covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary first-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not free `p_0`, not lagged covariance, and not later-occasion variance. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay and do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary first-occasion map. As `Δt → 0+` the lagged and later maps approach this composition. Trait-only variance does not require a stable drift. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined first-occasion latent variance, not stationary first-occasion observed variance, and not predetermined later observed variance when `p_0` is free. The later-start lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` is not first-occasion lagged covariance when `u > 0`, not later-occasion variance, not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, and not `e^{a s}` of the later total. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a s}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches first-occasion lagged covariance. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start lagged latent covariance, not first-occasion lagged observed covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-start later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` is not later-occasion variance at `u` when `s > 0`, not later-start lagged covariance, not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a s}` of the later total plus `Q_s`, and not later-occasion variance over the lag interval alone when `u > 0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_s`. Chapman–Kolmogorov writes `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance over `s`. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start later-occasion latent variance, not predetermined later observed variance, not later-start lagged observed covariance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free.

The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance.

The continuous standardisation `q / (−q / (2 a)) = −2 a` is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `Q_Δt / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DIFFUSIONstd` is `q / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (footnote 4: standardise process noise using only within-subject variance, not the total). Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a)) = 1 − exp(2 a Δt)` depends on the event interval and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DRIFTstd` is the continuous auto-effect after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (footnote 4: standardise `DRIFT` using only within-subject variance, not the total). Unstandardised `a` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DRIFTstd`. The discrete standardisation `e^{a Δt}` depends on the event interval and is not `DRIFTstd`. `a p / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` is `(-B / a) · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (footnote 4: standardise using only the relevant variance, not the total; the affecting variance is `TIPREDVAR`; the affected variance is `asymDIFFUSION`). Unstandardised `-B / a` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `(-B / a) · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. +This is two-level OLS and a noiseless scalar continuous-time map.

The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. Table 2 `asymCINT` `-κ / a` is the intercept contribution to the stationary process mean. It is not `κ`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. Lasting asymptotic intercept change via that map requires `a < 0`. Page 16 notes that a `T0MEANS` stationarity constraint includes time-independent predictors; that composition is not this intercept-only map. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion mean `-κ / a + −B z / a` is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` is not `τ + λ μ_0`, not `τ + λ(−κ / a)` when `B z ≠ 0`, not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `MANIFESTMEANS`, and not the constrained latent mean. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, not later-occasion variance, not `e^{a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. A zero-diffusion carry with `a ≥ 0` is `e^{a Δt} p_0` and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined lagged latent covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary first-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not free `p_0`, not lagged covariance, and not later-occasion variance. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay and do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary first-occasion map. As `Δt → 0+` the lagged and later maps approach this composition. Trait-only variance does not require a stable drift. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined first-occasion latent variance, not stationary first-occasion observed variance, and not predetermined later observed variance when `p_0` is free. The later-start lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` is not first-occasion lagged covariance when `u > 0`, not later-occasion variance, not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, and not `e^{a s}` of the later total. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a s}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches first-occasion lagged covariance. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start lagged latent covariance, not first-occasion lagged observed covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-start later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` is not later-occasion variance at `u` when `s > 0`, not later-start lagged covariance, not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a s}` of the later total plus `Q_s`, and not later-occasion variance over the lag interval alone when `u > 0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_s`. Chapman–Kolmogorov writes `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance over `s`. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start later-occasion latent variance, not predetermined later observed variance, not later-start lagged observed covariance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free.

Footnote 4 standardises using only the relevant variance, not the total. CINT is the process intercept of individual, or average individual, dynamics, so that relevant variance is within-subject asymDIFFUSION. Form strictly positive -q/(2a) first, then κ/√p. Unstandardised κ is defined for growing a≥0 and for zero diffusion; standardised CINT is not. Asymptotic (-κ/a)/√p is not CINTstd. Finite-interval A^{-1}[e^{AΔt}−I]κ/√p is not CINTstd. κ/√(trait+p+added) uses TRAITVAR and is not CINTstd.

This is two-group OLS, not MGCFA. Meredith (1993) names remain unread labels. -- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Later-start lagged covariance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T10:27Z). First-occasion lagged omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Later-occasion variance does not lag. Stationary lagged uses `−q / (2 a)`. Decaying the later total is not that map. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²` of it plus `ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. First-occasion lagged observed omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Later-start later-occasion variance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 3–4 Chapman–Kolmogorov `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:05Z). Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s`. Later-start lagged covariance omits `Q_s`. Stationary later uses `−q / (2 a)`. Evolving the later total as if it were all state is not that map. Ignoring `startoffset` omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance is `λ²` of it plus `θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that observed variance. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; footnote 4; §7.1; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:40Z). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `discreteDIFFUSIONstd` is `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:06Z). Unstandardised `Q_Δt` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. The continuous standardisation `−2 a` is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `Q_Δt / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DIFFUSIONstd` is `q / (−q / (2 a)) = −2 a` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:20Z). Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` depends on `Δt` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DRIFTstd` is the continuous auto-effect after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 1; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:28Z). Unstandardised `a` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DRIFTstd`. The discrete standardisation `e^{a Δt}` depends on the event interval and is not `DRIFTstd`. `a p / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` is `(-B / a) · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T14:25Z). Unstandardised `-B / a` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `(-B / a) · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T16:21Z). Unstandardised `B` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The asymptotic standardisation `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `B · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. +- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Later-start lagged covariance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T10:27Z). First-occasion lagged omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Later-occasion variance does not lag. Stationary lagged uses `−q / (2 a)`. Decaying the later total is not that map. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²` of it plus `ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. First-occasion lagged observed omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Later-start later-occasion variance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 3–4 Chapman–Kolmogorov `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:05Z). Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s`. Later-start lagged covariance omits `Q_s`. Stationary later uses `−q / (2 a)`. Evolving the later total as if it were all state is not that map. Ignoring `startoffset` omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance is `λ²` of it plus `θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that observed variance. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; footnote 4; §7.1; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:40Z). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `discreteDIFFUSIONstd` is `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:06Z). Unstandardised `Q_Δt` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. The continuous standardisation `−2 a` is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `Q_Δt / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DIFFUSIONstd` is `q / (−q / (2 a)) = −2 a` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:20Z). Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` depends on `Δt` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DRIFTstd` is the continuous auto-effect after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 1; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:28Z). Unstandardised `a` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DRIFTstd`. The discrete standardisation `e^{a Δt}` depends on the event interval and is not `DRIFTstd`. `a p / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` is `(-B / a) · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T14:25Z). Unstandardised `-B / a` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `(-B / a) · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T16:21Z). Unstandardised `B` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The asymptotic standardisation `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `B · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `CINTstd` is `κ / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 1; Table 2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T17:10Z). Unstandardised `κ` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `CINTstd`. The asymptotic standardisation `(-κ / a) / √p` is the total change and is not `CINTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `CINTstd`. `κ / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `CINTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. - Separate cluster means before within-unit lag. CWC plus an event-time lag is not DSEM. Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series does not isolate the lagged within-person effect (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608); already-centered residuals with irregular event intervals use the exact scalar map. - Do not treat the CWC cluster-mean coefficient as the between-cluster effect. It is the contextual effect `between − within` (Enders & Tofighi, 2007, Table 2, pp. 124–127). - Never use future-available evidence in historical model fits. diff --git a/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs b/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs index 60d5f9933..374387754 100644 --- a/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs +++ b/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs @@ -786,6 +786,27 @@ pub enum PsychometricError { /// `TIPREDEFFECTstd`.

`TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance))))), and refuses the difference quotient, pooling discrete lags from unequal intervals, and a binary64 underflow of that exponential to `+0` (not a discrete lag). The first-order product `a_yx Δt` is Eq. 14 and the underflow limit of Eq. 12, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. Already-centered residuals may have irregular event intervals. Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series is not the lagged within-person residual (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608). Metric/weak invariance licenses shared metric meaning only. Latent-mean comparison requires strong (equal loading and intercept) or strict invariance (Putnick & Bornstein, 2016, PMC5145197 opened 2026-08-19T22:15Z: scalar is required for latent means; residual invariance is not). Two-observation series have no residual degrees of freedom and cap at strong/scalar; identically-zero OLS residual variance is not strict. This two-group OLS gate is not MGCFA. +The executable multilevel slice is cluster-mean centering (CWC) plus within/between OLS, the CWC contextual effect (`between − within`), and Kish-weighted slopes. Enders and Tofighi (2007, Table 2, pp. 124–127) show that the CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the contextual effect, not the between-cluster effect. It is not DSEM and not RI-CLPM. The executable temporal slice maps a discrete lag through the exact scalar exponential `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time only (Voelkle, Oud, Davidov, & Schmidt, 2012, Eq. 7; Driver, Oud, & Voelkle, 2017, Eq. 3), recovers the forward map `φ(Δt) = exp(a Δt)`, remaps a discrete lag onto another event interval through that log-rate, recovers the exact scalar discrete effect of a constant predictor (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 12) as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows, and in log space when `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z` (`a_yx = 0` is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed), recovers the first-order discrete effect of a time-varying predictor with matched sampling and constancy intervals as `a_yx Δt` (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 14; ZORA accepted manuscript p. 21; not Eq. 12; unmatched intervals fail closed because Oud & Jansen, 2000, is unread), recovers the exact scalar discrete process noise `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-18T07:06Z, p. 4; scalar `L = 1`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; `z → −∞` keeps `−0.5 q / a`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; `z → +∞` and an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fail closed), recovers the exact scalar lagged latent covariance `exp(a Δt) p` and the law-of-total-variance map `Var(η_t) = exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-18T18:03Z; JSS has no numbered §2.2; `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})` and is refused as the unconditional variance; a zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` fails closed), recovers the exact scalar stationary within-subject variance `-q / (2 a)` as the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4 for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3 T0VAR stationarity; when `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`; CodeRabbit on `75ecdd3`); when `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`; do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)`, `a = -from_bits(1)` → `0.5`); `a ≥ 0` and finite-interval `Q_Δt` fail closed as that limit), recovers the exact scalar trait-plus-state variance `trait + state` and lagged covariance `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9;

The first-order product `a_yx Δt` is Eq. 14 and the underflow limit of Eq. 12, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. Already-centered residuals may have irregular event intervals. Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series is not the lagged within-person residual (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608). Metric/weak invariance licenses shared metric meaning only. Latent-mean comparison requires strong (equal loading and intercept) or strict invariance (Putnick & Bornstein, 2016, PMC5145197 opened 2026-08-19T22:15Z: scalar is required for latent means; residual invariance is not). Two-observation series have no residual degrees of freedom and cap at strong/scalar; identically-zero OLS residual variance is not strict. This two-group OLS gate is not MGCFA. Input/process/intervention/outcome paths obey event-time order. Temporal precedence, document linkage, event tracking, or model prediction alone do not justify causal language. diff --git a/docs/research/multilevel-event-time-recovery.md b/docs/research/multilevel-event-time-recovery.md index 9a8654070..61d1a4e60 100644 --- a/docs/research/multilevel-event-time-recovery.md +++ b/docs/research/multilevel-event-time-recovery.md @@ -70,15 +70,17 @@ This slice stays inside `psychometric_core`.

It is not DSEM, not RI-CLPM, not a random-effects sampler, not a Kalman filter, and not a matrix `expm` implementation. The CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the **contextual** effect, not the between-cluster effect. Discrete lags from different event intervals are not one coefficient. Equation 14 is not Equation 12. Discrete process noise \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the continuous diffusion \(GG^{\top}\). \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is the conditional residual variance, not \(\operatorname{Var}(\eta_{t})\). Finite-interval \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the stationary within-subject variance. Trait variance is not process noise and not the stationary within-subject variance. Measurement-error variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Latent variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Manifest means are not the observed-indicator mean. The latent mean is not the observed-indicator mean. The continuous intercept is not the manifest mean. The first-occasion latent mean is not the evolved latent mean. The continuous intercept is not the discrete mean increment. The first-occasion observed mean is not the evolved observed mean. The contemporaneous `TDPREDEFFECT` impulse is not the continuous intercept, not the time-independent discrete effect, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The time-independent `TIPREDEFFECT` increment is not the continuous intercept, not the contemporaneous impulse, not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14), and not the coefficient `B`. The within-interval `TDPREDEFFECT` carry `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the contemporaneous-impulse observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not the impulse-carry observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` when `u ≠ t`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the impulse-carry observed mean. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the time-independent-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TIPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_b z` is not the Eq. 3 process increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `κ`, and not `M x`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z` and is not that process increment. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TI-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-T0TIPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TDPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `κ`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0` and is not that within-interval impulse carry. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TD-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. Same numbers as `T0TIPREDEFFECT` yield the same product; Table 3 names a different matrix. The evolved-plus-T0TDPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The §7.2 level-change `CINT` `κ = −a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Lasting level change via that `CINT` setting requires `a < 0`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not that `CINT` setting. The Eq. 3 increment of that setting `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps the equilibrium offset `m x`. The §7.2 extra-process contribution `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. Lasting level change via that extra process requires `ε < 0`. Precisely `ε = 0` causes computational problems in the printed specification. The extra-process observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` is not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`, not the contribution, and not the evolved-plus-contribution latent mean. The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. Table 2 `asymCINT` `-κ / a` is the intercept contribution to the stationary process mean. It is not `κ`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. Lasting asymptotic intercept change via that map requires `a < 0`. Page 16 notes that a `T0MEANS` stationarity constraint includes time-independent predictors; that composition is not this intercept-only map. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion mean `-κ / a + −B z / a` is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` is not `τ + λ μ_0`, not `τ + λ(−κ / a)` when `B z ≠ 0`, not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `MANIFESTMEANS`, and not the constrained latent mean. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, not later-occasion variance, not `e^{a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. A zero-diffusion carry with `a ≥ 0` is `e^{a Δt} p_0` and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined lagged latent covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary first-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not free `p_0`, not lagged covariance, and not later-occasion variance. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay and do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary first-occasion map. As `Δt → 0+` the lagged and later maps approach this composition. Trait-only variance does not require a stable drift. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined first-occasion latent variance, not stationary first-occasion observed variance, and not predetermined later observed variance when `p_0` is free. The later-start lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` is not first-occasion lagged covariance when `u > 0`, not later-occasion variance, not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, and not `e^{a s}` of the later total. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a s}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches first-occasion lagged covariance. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start lagged latent covariance, not first-occasion lagged observed covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-start later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` is not later-occasion variance at `u` when `s > 0`, not later-start lagged covariance, not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a s}` of the later total plus `Q_s`, and not later-occasion variance over the lag interval alone when `u > 0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_s`. Chapman–Kolmogorov writes `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance over `s`. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start later-occasion latent variance, not predetermined later observed variance, not later-start lagged observed covariance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free.

The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance.

Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a)) = 1 − exp(2 a Δt)` depends on the event interval and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance.

Unstandardised `B` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`.

It is not DSEM, not RI-CLPM, not a random-effects sampler, not a Kalman filter, and not a matrix `expm` implementation. The CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the **contextual** effect, not the between-cluster effect. Discrete lags from different event intervals are not one coefficient. Equation 14 is not Equation 12. Discrete process noise \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the continuous diffusion \(GG^{\top}\). \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is the conditional residual variance, not \(\operatorname{Var}(\eta_{t})\). Finite-interval \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the stationary within-subject variance. Trait variance is not process noise and not the stationary within-subject variance. Measurement-error variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Latent variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Manifest means are not the observed-indicator mean. The latent mean is not the observed-indicator mean. The continuous intercept is not the manifest mean. The first-occasion latent mean is not the evolved latent mean. The continuous intercept is not the discrete mean increment. The first-occasion observed mean is not the evolved observed mean. The contemporaneous `TDPREDEFFECT` impulse is not the continuous intercept, not the time-independent discrete effect, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The time-independent `TIPREDEFFECT` increment is not the continuous intercept, not the contemporaneous impulse, not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14), and not the coefficient `B`. The within-interval `TDPREDEFFECT` carry `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the contemporaneous-impulse observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not the impulse-carry observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` when `u ≠ t`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the impulse-carry observed mean. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the time-independent-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TIPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_b z` is not the Eq. 3 process increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `κ`, and not `M x`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z` and is not that process increment. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TI-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-T0TIPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TDPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `κ`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0` and is not that within-interval impulse carry. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TD-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. Same numbers as `T0TIPREDEFFECT` yield the same product; Table 3 names a different matrix. The evolved-plus-T0TDPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The §7.2 level-change `CINT` `κ = −a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Lasting level change via that `CINT` setting requires `a < 0`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not that `CINT` setting. The Eq. 3 increment of that setting `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps the equilibrium offset `m x`. The §7.2 extra-process contribution `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. Lasting level change via that extra process requires `ε < 0`. Precisely `ε = 0` causes computational problems in the printed specification. The extra-process observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` is not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`, not the contribution, and not the evolved-plus-contribution latent mean. The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. Table 2 `asymCINT` `-κ / a` is the intercept contribution to the stationary process mean. It is not `κ`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. Lasting asymptotic intercept change via that map requires `a < 0`. Page 16 notes that a `T0MEANS` stationarity constraint includes time-independent predictors; that composition is not this intercept-only map. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion mean `-κ / a + −B z / a` is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` is not `τ + λ μ_0`, not `τ + λ(−κ / a)` when `B z ≠ 0`, not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `MANIFESTMEANS`, and not the constrained latent mean. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, not later-occasion variance, not `e^{a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. A zero-diffusion carry with `a ≥ 0` is `e^{a Δt} p_0` and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined lagged latent covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary first-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not free `p_0`, not lagged covariance, and not later-occasion variance. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay and do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary first-occasion map. As `Δt → 0+` the lagged and later maps approach this composition. Trait-only variance does not require a stable drift. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined first-occasion latent variance, not stationary first-occasion observed variance, and not predetermined later observed variance when `p_0` is free. The later-start lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` is not first-occasion lagged covariance when `u > 0`, not later-occasion variance, not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, and not `e^{a s}` of the later total. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a s}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches first-occasion lagged covariance. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start lagged latent covariance, not first-occasion lagged observed covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-start later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` is not later-occasion variance at `u` when `s > 0`, not later-start lagged covariance, not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a s}` of the later total plus `Q_s`, and not later-occasion variance over the lag interval alone when `u > 0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_s`. Chapman–Kolmogorov writes `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance over `s`. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start later-occasion latent variance, not predetermined later observed variance, not later-start lagged observed covariance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free.

This is two-group OLS, not MGCFA. Meredith (1993) names remain unread labels. -- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`.

Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Later-start lagged covariance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T10:27Z). First-occasion lagged omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Later-occasion variance does not lag. Stationary lagged uses `−q / (2 a)`. Decaying the later total is not that map. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²` of it plus `ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. First-occasion lagged observed omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Later-start later-occasion variance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 3–4 Chapman–Kolmogorov `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:05Z). Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s`. Later-start lagged covariance omits `Q_s`. Stationary later uses `−q / (2 a)`. Evolving the later total as if it were all state is not that map. Ignoring `startoffset` omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance is `λ²` of it plus `θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that observed variance. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; footnote 4; §7.1; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:40Z). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `discreteDIFFUSIONstd` is `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:06Z). Unstandardised `Q_Δt` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. The continuous standardisation `−2 a` is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `Q_Δt / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DIFFUSIONstd` is `q / (−q / (2 a)) = −2 a` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:20Z). Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` depends on `Δt` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DRIFTstd` is the continuous auto-effect after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 1; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:28Z). Unstandardised `a` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DRIFTstd`. The discrete standardisation `e^{a Δt}` depends on the event interval and is not `DRIFTstd`. `a p / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` is `(-B / a) · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T14:25Z). Unstandardised `-B / a` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `(-B / a) · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T16:21Z). Unstandardised `B` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The asymptotic standardisation `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `B · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. +- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Later-start lagged covariance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T10:27Z). First-occasion lagged omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Later-occasion variance does not lag. Stationary lagged uses `−q / (2 a)`. Decaying the later total is not that map. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²` of it plus `ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. First-occasion lagged observed omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Later-start later-occasion variance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 3–4 Chapman–Kolmogorov `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:05Z). Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s`. Later-start lagged covariance omits `Q_s`. Stationary later uses `−q / (2 a)`. Evolving the later total as if it were all state is not that map. Ignoring `startoffset` omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance is `λ²` of it plus `θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that observed variance. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; footnote 4; §7.1; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:40Z). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `discreteDIFFUSIONstd` is `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:06Z). Unstandardised `Q_Δt` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. The continuous standardisation `−2 a` is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `Q_Δt / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DIFFUSIONstd` is `q / (−q / (2 a)) = −2 a` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:20Z). Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` depends on `Δt` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DRIFTstd` is the continuous auto-effect after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 1; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:28Z). Unstandardised `a` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DRIFTstd`. The discrete standardisation `e^{a Δt}` depends on the event interval and is not `DRIFTstd`. `a p / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` is `(-B / a) · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T14:25Z). Unstandardised `-B / a` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `(-B / a) · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T16:21Z). Unstandardised `B` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The asymptotic standardisation `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `B · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 / Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_b · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` `p_0` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; footnote 4; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T17:20Z). The affected variance is free first-occasion `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`. Unstandardised `t0_b` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` is the continuous coefficient and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `t0_b · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. - Separate cluster means before within-unit lag. CWC plus an event-time lag is not DSEM. Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series does not isolate the lagged within-person effect (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608); already-centered residuals with irregular event intervals use the exact scalar map. - Do not treat the CWC cluster-mean coefficient as the between-cluster effect. It is the contextual effect `between − within` (Enders & Tofighi, 2007, Table 2, pp. 124–127). - Never use future-available evidence in historical model fits. diff --git a/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs b/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs index 60d5f9933..dba801c87 100644 --- a/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs +++ b/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs @@ -786,6 +786,35 @@ pub enum PsychometricError { /// `TIPREDEFFECTstd`.

Zero `p_0` or zero `v` has no positive +/// SD and fails closed. `T0` is an event-time occasion, so a +/// non-event clock fails closed. Free `T0VAR` does not require +/// stable `a < 0`.

The first-order product `a_yx Δt` is Eq. 14 and the underflow limit of Eq. 12, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. Already-centered residuals may have irregular event intervals. Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series is not the lagged within-person residual (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608). Metric/weak invariance licenses shared metric meaning only. Latent-mean comparison requires strong (equal loading and intercept) or strict invariance (Putnick & Bornstein, 2016, PMC5145197 opened 2026-08-19T22:15Z: scalar is required for latent means; residual invariance is not). Two-observation series have no residual degrees of freedom and cap at strong/scalar; identically-zero OLS residual variance is not strict. This two-group OLS gate is not MGCFA. +The executable multilevel slice is cluster-mean centering (CWC) plus within/between OLS, the CWC contextual effect (`between − within`), and Kish-weighted slopes. Enders and Tofighi (2007, Table 2, pp. 124–127) show that the CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the contextual effect, not the between-cluster effect. It is not DSEM and not RI-CLPM. The executable temporal slice maps a discrete lag through the exact scalar exponential `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time only (Voelkle, Oud, Davidov, & Schmidt, 2012, Eq. 7; Driver, Oud, & Voelkle, 2017, Eq. 3), recovers the forward map `φ(Δt) = exp(a Δt)`, remaps a discrete lag onto another event interval through that log-rate, recovers the exact scalar discrete effect of a constant predictor (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 12) as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows, and in log space when `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z` (`a_yx = 0` is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed), recovers the first-order discrete effect of a time-varying predictor with matched sampling and constancy intervals as `a_yx Δt` (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 14; ZORA accepted manuscript p. 21; not Eq. 12; unmatched intervals fail closed because Oud & Jansen, 2000, is unread), recovers the exact scalar discrete process noise `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3;

Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series is not the lagged within-person residual (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608). Metric/weak invariance licenses shared metric meaning only. Latent-mean comparison requires strong (equal loading and intercept) or strict invariance (Putnick & Bornstein, 2016, PMC5145197 opened 2026-08-19T22:15Z: scalar is required for latent means; residual invariance is not). Two-observation series have no residual degrees of freedom and cap at strong/scalar; identically-zero OLS residual variance is not strict. This two-group OLS gate is not MGCFA.

It is not DSEM, not RI-CLPM, not a random-effects sampler, not a Kalman filter, and not a matrix `expm` implementation. The CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the **contextual** effect, not the between-cluster effect. Discrete lags from different event intervals are not one coefficient. Equation 14 is not Equation 12. Discrete process noise \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the continuous diffusion \(GG^{\top}\). \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is the conditional residual variance, not \(\operatorname{Var}(\eta_{t})\). Finite-interval \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the stationary within-subject variance. Trait variance is not process noise and not the stationary within-subject variance. Measurement-error variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Latent variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Manifest means are not the observed-indicator mean. The latent mean is not the observed-indicator mean. The continuous intercept is not the manifest mean. The first-occasion latent mean is not the evolved latent mean. The continuous intercept is not the discrete mean increment. The first-occasion observed mean is not the evolved observed mean. The contemporaneous `TDPREDEFFECT` impulse is not the continuous intercept, not the time-independent discrete effect, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The time-independent `TIPREDEFFECT` increment is not the continuous intercept, not the contemporaneous impulse, not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14), and not the coefficient `B`. The within-interval `TDPREDEFFECT` carry `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the contemporaneous-impulse observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not the impulse-carry observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` when `u ≠ t`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the impulse-carry observed mean. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the time-independent-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TIPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_b z` is not the Eq. 3 process increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `κ`, and not `M x`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z` and is not that process increment. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TI-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-T0TIPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TDPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `κ`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0` and is not that within-interval impulse carry. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TD-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. Same numbers as `T0TIPREDEFFECT` yield the same product; Table 3 names a different matrix. The evolved-plus-T0TDPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The §7.2 level-change `CINT` `κ = −a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Lasting level change via that `CINT` setting requires `a < 0`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not that `CINT` setting. The Eq. 3 increment of that setting `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps the equilibrium offset `m x`. The §7.2 extra-process contribution `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. Lasting level change via that extra process requires `ε < 0`. Precisely `ε = 0` causes computational problems in the printed specification. The extra-process observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` is not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`, not the contribution, and not the evolved-plus-contribution latent mean. The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. Table 2 `asymCINT` `-κ / a` is the intercept contribution to the stationary process mean. It is not `κ`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. Lasting asymptotic intercept change via that map requires `a < 0`. Page 16 notes that a `T0MEANS` stationarity constraint includes time-independent predictors; that composition is not this intercept-only map. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion mean `-κ / a + −B z / a` is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` is not `τ + λ μ_0`, not `τ + λ(−κ / a)` when `B z ≠ 0`, not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `MANIFESTMEANS`, and not the constrained latent mean. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, not later-occasion variance, not `e^{a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. A zero-diffusion carry with `a ≥ 0` is `e^{a Δt} p_0` and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined lagged latent covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary first-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not free `p_0`, not lagged covariance, and not later-occasion variance. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay and do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary first-occasion map. As `Δt → 0+` the lagged and later maps approach this composition. Trait-only variance does not require a stable drift. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined first-occasion latent variance, not stationary first-occasion observed variance, and not predetermined later observed variance when `p_0` is free. The later-start lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` is not first-occasion lagged covariance when `u > 0`, not later-occasion variance, not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, and not `e^{a s}` of the later total. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a s}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches first-occasion lagged covariance. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start lagged latent covariance, not first-occasion lagged observed covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-start later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` is not later-occasion variance at `u` when `s > 0`, not later-start lagged covariance, not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a s}` of the later total plus `Q_s`, and not later-occasion variance over the lag interval alone when `u > 0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_s`. Chapman–Kolmogorov writes `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance over `s`. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start later-occasion latent variance, not predetermined later observed variance, not later-start lagged observed covariance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free.

Unstandardised `-B / a` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `(-B / a) · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance.

The §7.2 level-change `CINT` `κ = −a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Lasting level change via that `CINT` setting requires `a < 0`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not that `CINT` setting. The Eq. 3 increment of that setting `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps the equilibrium offset `m x`. The §7.2 extra-process contribution `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. Lasting level change via that extra process requires `ε < 0`. Precisely `ε = 0` causes computational problems in the printed specification. The extra-process observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` is not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`, not the contribution, and not the evolved-plus-contribution latent mean. The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. Table 2 `asymCINT` `-κ / a` is the intercept contribution to the stationary process mean. It is not `κ`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. Lasting asymptotic intercept change via that map requires `a < 0`. Page 16 notes that a `T0MEANS` stationarity constraint includes time-independent predictors; that composition is not this intercept-only map. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion mean `-κ / a + −B z / a` is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` is not `τ + λ μ_0`, not `τ + λ(−κ / a)` when `B z ≠ 0`, not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `MANIFESTMEANS`, and not the constrained latent mean. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, not later-occasion variance, not `e^{a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. A zero-diffusion carry with `a ≥ 0` is `e^{a Δt} p_0` and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined lagged latent covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary first-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not free `p_0`, not lagged covariance, and not later-occasion variance. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay and do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary first-occasion map. As `Δt → 0+` the lagged and later maps approach this composition. Trait-only variance does not require a stable drift. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined first-occasion latent variance, not stationary first-occasion observed variance, and not predetermined later observed variance when `p_0` is free. The later-start lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` is not first-occasion lagged covariance when `u > 0`, not later-occasion variance, not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, and not `e^{a s}` of the later total. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a s}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches first-occasion lagged covariance. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start lagged latent covariance, not first-occasion lagged observed covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-start later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` is not later-occasion variance at `u` when `s > 0`, not later-start lagged covariance, not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a s}` of the later total plus `Q_s`, and not later-occasion variance over the lag interval alone when `u > 0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_s`. Chapman–Kolmogorov writes `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance over `s`. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start later-occasion latent variance, not predetermined later observed variance, not later-start lagged observed covariance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free.

This is two-group OLS, not MGCFA. Meredith (1993) names remain unread labels. -- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Later-start lagged covariance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T10:27Z). First-occasion lagged omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Later-occasion variance does not lag. Stationary lagged uses `−q / (2 a)`. Decaying the later total is not that map. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²` of it plus `ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. First-occasion lagged observed omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Later-start later-occasion variance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 3–4 Chapman–Kolmogorov `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:05Z). Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s`. Later-start lagged covariance omits `Q_s`. Stationary later uses `−q / (2 a)`. Evolving the later total as if it were all state is not that map. Ignoring `startoffset` omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance is `λ²` of it plus `θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that observed variance. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; footnote 4; §7.1; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:40Z). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `discreteDIFFUSIONstd` is `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:06Z). Unstandardised `Q_Δt` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. The continuous standardisation `−2 a` is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `Q_Δt / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DIFFUSIONstd` is `q / (−q / (2 a)) = −2 a` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:20Z). Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` depends on `Δt` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DRIFTstd` is the continuous auto-effect after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 1; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:28Z). Unstandardised `a` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DRIFTstd`. The discrete standardisation `e^{a Δt}` depends on the event interval and is not `DRIFTstd`. `a p / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` is `(-B / a) · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T14:25Z). Unstandardised `-B / a` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `(-B / a) · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T16:21Z). Unstandardised `B` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The asymptotic standardisation `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `B · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 / Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_b · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` `p_0` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; footnote 4; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T17:20Z). The affected variance is free first-occasion `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`. Unstandardised `t0_b` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` is the continuous coefficient and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `t0_b · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. +- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Later-start lagged covariance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T10:27Z). First-occasion lagged omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Later-occasion variance does not lag. Stationary lagged uses `−q / (2 a)`. Decaying the later total is not that map. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²` of it plus `ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. First-occasion lagged observed omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Later-start later-occasion variance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 3–4 Chapman–Kolmogorov `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:05Z). Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s`. Later-start lagged covariance omits `Q_s`. Stationary later uses `−q / (2 a)`. Evolving the later total as if it were all state is not that map. Ignoring `startoffset` omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance is `λ²` of it plus `θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that observed variance. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; footnote 4; §7.1; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:40Z). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `discreteDIFFUSIONstd` is `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:06Z). Unstandardised `Q_Δt` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. The continuous standardisation `−2 a` is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `Q_Δt / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DIFFUSIONstd` is `q / (−q / (2 a)) = −2 a` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:20Z). Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` depends on `Δt` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DRIFTstd` is the continuous auto-effect after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 1; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:28Z). Unstandardised `a` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DRIFTstd`. The discrete standardisation `e^{a Δt}` depends on the event interval and is not `DRIFTstd`. `a p / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` is `(-B / a) · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T14:25Z). Unstandardised `-B / a` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `(-B / a) · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T16:21Z). Unstandardised `B` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The asymptotic standardisation `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `B · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 / Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_b · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` `p_0` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; footnote 4; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T17:20Z). The affected variance is free first-occasion `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`. Unstandardised `t0_b` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` is the continuous coefficient and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `t0_b · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_m · √v_x / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` and strictly positive `TDPREDVAR`. The affecting variance is `TDPREDVAR`, not `TIPREDVAR`. The affected variance is free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`. Unstandardised `t0_m` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. Same numbers as `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` yield the same product; Table 3 names a different matrix. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` uses `asymDIFFUSION` and is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `t0_m · √v_x / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. - Separate cluster means before within-unit lag. CWC plus an event-time lag is not DSEM. Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series does not isolate the lagged within-person effect (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608); already-centered residuals with irregular event intervals use the exact scalar map. - Do not treat the CWC cluster-mean coefficient as the between-cluster effect. It is the contextual effect `between − within` (Enders & Tofighi, 2007, Table 2, pp. 124–127). - Never use future-available evidence in historical model fits. diff --git a/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs b/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs index dba801c87..17876936a 100644 --- a/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs +++ b/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs @@ -815,6 +815,36 @@ pub enum PsychometricError { /// p. 16 `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`.

`t0_b · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`; `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance))))), and refuses the difference quotient, pooling discrete lags from unequal intervals, and a binary64 underflow of that exponential to `+0` (not a discrete lag). The first-order product `a_yx Δt` is Eq. 14 and the underflow limit of Eq. 12, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. Already-centered residuals may have irregular event intervals. Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series is not the lagged within-person residual (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608). Metric/weak invariance licenses shared metric meaning only. Latent-mean comparison requires strong (equal loading and intercept) or strict invariance (Putnick & Bornstein, 2016, PMC5145197 opened 2026-08-19T22:15Z: scalar is required for latent means; residual invariance is not). Two-observation series have no residual degrees of freedom and cap at strong/scalar; identically-zero OLS residual variance is not strict. This two-group OLS gate is not MGCFA. +The executable multilevel slice is cluster-mean centering (CWC) plus within/between OLS, the CWC contextual effect (`between − within`), and Kish-weighted slopes. Enders and Tofighi (2007, Table 2, pp. 124–127) show that the CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the contextual effect, not the between-cluster effect. It is not DSEM and not RI-CLPM. The executable temporal slice maps a discrete lag through the exact scalar exponential `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time only (Voelkle, Oud, Davidov, & Schmidt, 2012, Eq. 7; Driver, Oud, & Voelkle, 2017, Eq. 3), recovers the forward map `φ(Δt) = exp(a Δt)`, remaps a discrete lag onto another event interval through that log-rate, recovers the exact scalar discrete effect of a constant predictor (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 12) as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows, and in log space when `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z` (`a_yx = 0` is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed), recovers the first-order discrete effect of a time-varying predictor with matched sampling and constancy intervals as `a_yx Δt` (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 14; ZORA accepted manuscript p. 21; not Eq. 12; unmatched intervals fail closed because Oud & Jansen, 2000, is unread), recovers the exact scalar discrete process noise `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-18T07:06Z, p. 4; scalar `L = 1`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; `z → −∞` keeps `−0.5 q / a`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; `z → +∞` and an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fail closed), recovers the exact scalar lagged latent covariance `exp(a Δt) p` and the law-of-total-variance map `Var(η_t) = exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-18T18:03Z; JSS has no numbered §2.2; `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})` and is refused as the unconditional variance; a zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` fails closed), recovers the exact scalar stationary within-subject variance `-q / (2 a)` as the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4 for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3 T0VAR stationarity; when `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`; CodeRabbit on `75ecdd3`); when `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`; do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)`, `a = -from_bits(1)` → `0.5`); `a ≥ 0` and finite-interval `Q_Δt` fail closed as that limit), recovers the exact scalar trait-plus-state variance `trait + state` and lagged covariance `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-18T21:07Z; a stable trait has `DRIFT` and `DIFFUSION` fixed to zero; `TRAITVAR` is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`; evolving the summed variance as if it were all state fails the claim boundary; this is not RI-CLPM), recovers the exact scalar observed-indicator variance `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise, and the lagged observed covariance `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5;

The first-order product `a_yx Δt` is Eq. 14 and the underflow limit of Eq. 12, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. Already-centered residuals may have irregular event intervals. Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series is not the lagged within-person residual (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608). Metric/weak invariance licenses shared metric meaning only. Latent-mean comparison requires strong (equal loading and intercept) or strict invariance (Putnick & Bornstein, 2016, PMC5145197 opened 2026-08-19T22:15Z: scalar is required for latent means; residual invariance is not). Two-observation series have no residual degrees of freedom and cap at strong/scalar; identically-zero OLS residual variance is not strict. This two-group OLS gate is not MGCFA. Input/process/intervention/outcome paths obey event-time order. Temporal precedence, document linkage, event tracking, or model prediction alone do not justify causal language. diff --git a/docs/research/multilevel-event-time-recovery.md b/docs/research/multilevel-event-time-recovery.md index 68ed3ab2e..3ba25db94 100644 --- a/docs/research/multilevel-event-time-recovery.md +++ b/docs/research/multilevel-event-time-recovery.md @@ -72,15 +72,17 @@ This slice stays inside `psychometric_core`.

It is not DSEM, not RI-CLPM, not a random-effects sampler, not a Kalman filter, and not a matrix `expm` implementation. The CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the **contextual** effect, not the between-cluster effect. Discrete lags from different event intervals are not one coefficient. Equation 14 is not Equation 12. Discrete process noise \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the continuous diffusion \(GG^{\top}\). \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is the conditional residual variance, not \(\operatorname{Var}(\eta_{t})\). Finite-interval \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the stationary within-subject variance. Trait variance is not process noise and not the stationary within-subject variance. Measurement-error variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Latent variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Manifest means are not the observed-indicator mean. The latent mean is not the observed-indicator mean. The continuous intercept is not the manifest mean. The first-occasion latent mean is not the evolved latent mean. The continuous intercept is not the discrete mean increment. The first-occasion observed mean is not the evolved observed mean. The contemporaneous `TDPREDEFFECT` impulse is not the continuous intercept, not the time-independent discrete effect, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The time-independent `TIPREDEFFECT` increment is not the continuous intercept, not the contemporaneous impulse, not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14), and not the coefficient `B`. The within-interval `TDPREDEFFECT` carry `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the contemporaneous-impulse observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not the impulse-carry observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` when `u ≠ t`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the impulse-carry observed mean. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the time-independent-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TIPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_b z` is not the Eq. 3 process increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `κ`, and not `M x`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z` and is not that process increment. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TI-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-T0TIPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TDPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `κ`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0` and is not that within-interval impulse carry. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TD-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. Same numbers as `T0TIPREDEFFECT` yield the same product; Table 3 names a different matrix. The evolved-plus-T0TDPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The §7.2 level-change `CINT` `κ = −a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Lasting level change via that `CINT` setting requires `a < 0`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not that `CINT` setting. The Eq. 3 increment of that setting `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps the equilibrium offset `m x`. The §7.2 extra-process contribution `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. Lasting level change via that extra process requires `ε < 0`. Precisely `ε = 0` causes computational problems in the printed specification. The extra-process observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` is not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`, not the contribution, and not the evolved-plus-contribution latent mean. The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. Table 2 `asymCINT` `-κ / a` is the intercept contribution to the stationary process mean. It is not `κ`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. Lasting asymptotic intercept change via that map requires `a < 0`. Page 16 notes that a `T0MEANS` stationarity constraint includes time-independent predictors; that composition is not this intercept-only map. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion mean `-κ / a + −B z / a` is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` is not `τ + λ μ_0`, not `τ + λ(−κ / a)` when `B z ≠ 0`, not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `MANIFESTMEANS`, and not the constrained latent mean. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, not later-occasion variance, not `e^{a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. A zero-diffusion carry with `a ≥ 0` is `e^{a Δt} p_0` and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined lagged latent covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary first-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not free `p_0`, not lagged covariance, and not later-occasion variance. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay and do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary first-occasion map. As `Δt → 0+` the lagged and later maps approach this composition. Trait-only variance does not require a stable drift. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined first-occasion latent variance, not stationary first-occasion observed variance, and not predetermined later observed variance when `p_0` is free. The later-start lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` is not first-occasion lagged covariance when `u > 0`, not later-occasion variance, not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, and not `e^{a s}` of the later total. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a s}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches first-occasion lagged covariance. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start lagged latent covariance, not first-occasion lagged observed covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-start later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` is not later-occasion variance at `u` when `s > 0`, not later-start lagged covariance, not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a s}` of the later total plus `Q_s`, and not later-occasion variance over the lag interval alone when `u > 0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_s`. Chapman–Kolmogorov writes `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance over `s`. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start later-occasion latent variance, not predetermined later observed variance, not later-start lagged observed covariance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free.

It is not DSEM, not RI-CLPM, not a random-effects sampler, not a Kalman filter, and not a matrix `expm` implementation. The CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the **contextual** effect, not the between-cluster effect. Discrete lags from different event intervals are not one coefficient. Equation 14 is not Equation 12. Discrete process noise \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the continuous diffusion \(GG^{\top}\). \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is the conditional residual variance, not \(\operatorname{Var}(\eta_{t})\). Finite-interval \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the stationary within-subject variance. Trait variance is not process noise and not the stationary within-subject variance. Measurement-error variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Latent variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Manifest means are not the observed-indicator mean. The latent mean is not the observed-indicator mean. The continuous intercept is not the manifest mean. The first-occasion latent mean is not the evolved latent mean. The continuous intercept is not the discrete mean increment. The first-occasion observed mean is not the evolved observed mean. The contemporaneous `TDPREDEFFECT` impulse is not the continuous intercept, not the time-independent discrete effect, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The time-independent `TIPREDEFFECT` increment is not the continuous intercept, not the contemporaneous impulse, not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14), and not the coefficient `B`. The within-interval `TDPREDEFFECT` carry `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the contemporaneous-impulse observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not the impulse-carry observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` when `u ≠ t`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the impulse-carry observed mean. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the time-independent-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TIPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_b z` is not the Eq. 3 process increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `κ`, and not `M x`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z` and is not that process increment. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TI-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-T0TIPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TDPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `κ`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0` and is not that within-interval impulse carry. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TD-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. Same numbers as `T0TIPREDEFFECT` yield the same product; Table 3 names a different matrix. The evolved-plus-T0TDPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The §7.2 level-change `CINT` `κ = −a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Lasting level change via that `CINT` setting requires `a < 0`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not that `CINT` setting. The Eq. 3 increment of that setting `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps the equilibrium offset `m x`. The §7.2 extra-process contribution `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. Lasting level change via that extra process requires `ε < 0`. Precisely `ε = 0` causes computational problems in the printed specification. The extra-process observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` is not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`, not the contribution, and not the evolved-plus-contribution latent mean. The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. Table 2 `asymCINT` `-κ / a` is the intercept contribution to the stationary process mean. It is not `κ`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. Lasting asymptotic intercept change via that map requires `a < 0`. Page 16 notes that a `T0MEANS` stationarity constraint includes time-independent predictors; that composition is not this intercept-only map. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion mean `-κ / a + −B z / a` is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` is not `τ + λ μ_0`, not `τ + λ(−κ / a)` when `B z ≠ 0`, not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `MANIFESTMEANS`, and not the constrained latent mean. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, not later-occasion variance, not `e^{a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. A zero-diffusion carry with `a ≥ 0` is `e^{a Δt} p_0` and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined lagged latent covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary first-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not free `p_0`, not lagged covariance, and not later-occasion variance. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay and do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary first-occasion map. As `Δt → 0+` the lagged and later maps approach this composition. Trait-only variance does not require a stable drift. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined first-occasion latent variance, not stationary first-occasion observed variance, and not predetermined later observed variance when `p_0` is free. The later-start lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` is not first-occasion lagged covariance when `u > 0`, not later-occasion variance, not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, and not `e^{a s}` of the later total. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a s}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches first-occasion lagged covariance. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start lagged latent covariance, not first-occasion lagged observed covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-start later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` is not later-occasion variance at `u` when `s > 0`, not later-start lagged covariance, not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a s}` of the later total plus `Q_s`, and not later-occasion variance over the lag interval alone when `u > 0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_s`. Chapman–Kolmogorov writes `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance over `s`. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start later-occasion latent variance, not predetermined later observed variance, not later-start lagged observed covariance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free.

Section 7.2 names addedTIPREDVAR the stable between-subject variance (B/a)²v. The first-occasion analogue uses free T0TIPREDEFFECT, not -B/a. The scalar map is t0_b²v. Form t0_b first, then square, then multiply by v. A zero coefficient or zero predictor variance is exactly zero.

(2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Later-start lagged covariance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T10:27Z). First-occasion lagged omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Later-occasion variance does not lag. Stationary lagged uses `−q / (2 a)`. Decaying the later total is not that map. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²` of it plus `ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. First-occasion lagged observed omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Later-start later-occasion variance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 3–4 Chapman–Kolmogorov `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:05Z). Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s`. Later-start lagged covariance omits `Q_s`. Stationary later uses `−q / (2 a)`. Evolving the later total as if it were all state is not that map. Ignoring `startoffset` omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance is `λ²` of it plus `θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that observed variance. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; footnote 4; §7.1; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:40Z). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `discreteDIFFUSIONstd` is `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:06Z). Unstandardised `Q_Δt` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. The continuous standardisation `−2 a` is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `Q_Δt / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DIFFUSIONstd` is `q / (−q / (2 a)) = −2 a` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:20Z). Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` depends on `Δt` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DRIFTstd` is the continuous auto-effect after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 1; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:28Z). Unstandardised `a` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DRIFTstd`. The discrete standardisation `e^{a Δt}` depends on the event interval and is not `DRIFTstd`. `a p / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` is `(-B / a) · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T14:25Z). Unstandardised `-B / a` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `(-B / a) · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T16:21Z). Unstandardised `B` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The asymptotic standardisation `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `B · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 / Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_b · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` `p_0` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; footnote 4; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T17:20Z). The affected variance is free first-occasion `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`. Unstandardised `t0_b` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` is the continuous coefficient and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `t0_b · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. +- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Later-start lagged covariance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T10:27Z). First-occasion lagged omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Later-occasion variance does not lag. Stationary lagged uses `−q / (2 a)`. Decaying the later total is not that map. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²` of it plus `ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. First-occasion lagged observed omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Later-start later-occasion variance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 3–4 Chapman–Kolmogorov `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:05Z). Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s`. Later-start lagged covariance omits `Q_s`. Stationary later uses `−q / (2 a)`. Evolving the later total as if it were all state is not that map. Ignoring `startoffset` omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance is `λ²` of it plus `θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that observed variance. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; footnote 4; §7.1; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:40Z). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `discreteDIFFUSIONstd` is `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:06Z). Unstandardised `Q_Δt` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. The continuous standardisation `−2 a` is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `Q_Δt / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DIFFUSIONstd` is `q / (−q / (2 a)) = −2 a` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:20Z). Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` depends on `Δt` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DRIFTstd` is the continuous auto-effect after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 1; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:28Z). Unstandardised `a` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DRIFTstd`. The discrete standardisation `e^{a Δt}` depends on the event interval and is not `DRIFTstd`. `a p / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` is `(-B / a) · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T14:25Z). Unstandardised `-B / a` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `(-B / a) · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T16:21Z). Unstandardised `B` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The asymptotic standardisation `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `B · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 / Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_b · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` `p_0` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; footnote 4; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T17:20Z). The affected variance is free first-occasion `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`. Unstandardised `t0_b` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` is the continuous coefficient and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `t0_b · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `t0_b² v` after a first-occasion time-independent predictor (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; §7.2; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T18:20Z). Form `t0_b` first, then square, then multiply by `v`. A zero coefficient or zero predictor variance is exactly zero. Free `T0TIPREDEFFECT` does not require `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is `addedTIPREDVAR` and is not this first-occasion map. `t0_b · √v / √p_0` is `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` and is not this variance. Free `T0VAR` is not this extra TI variance. `TRAITVAR` is not this extra TI variance. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. - Separate cluster means before within-unit lag. CWC plus an event-time lag is not DSEM. Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series does not isolate the lagged within-person effect (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608); already-centered residuals with irregular event intervals use the exact scalar map. - Do not treat the CWC cluster-mean coefficient as the between-cluster effect. It is the contextual effect `between − within` (Enders & Tofighi, 2007, Table 2, pp. 124–127). - Never use future-available evidence in historical model fits. diff --git a/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs b/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs index dba801c87..2b41e97da 100644 --- a/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs +++ b/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs @@ -815,6 +815,22 @@ pub enum PsychometricError { /// p. 16 `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`.

Latent-mean comparison requires strong (equal loading and intercept) or strict invariance (Putnick & Bornstein, 2016, PMC5145197 opened 2026-08-19T22:15Z: scalar is required for latent means; residual invariance is not). Two-observation series have no residual degrees of freedom and cap at strong/scalar; identically-zero OLS residual variance is not strict. This two-group OLS gate is not MGCFA. +The executable multilevel slice is cluster-mean centering (CWC) plus within/between OLS, the CWC contextual effect (`between − within`), and Kish-weighted slopes. Enders and Tofighi (2007, Table 2, pp. 124–127) show that the CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the contextual effect, not the between-cluster effect. It is not DSEM and not RI-CLPM. The executable temporal slice maps a discrete lag through the exact scalar exponential `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time only (Voelkle, Oud, Davidov, & Schmidt, 2012, Eq. 7; Driver, Oud, & Voelkle, 2017, Eq. 3), recovers the forward map `φ(Δt) = exp(a Δt)`, remaps a discrete lag onto another event interval through that log-rate, recovers the exact scalar discrete effect of a constant predictor (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 12) as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows, and in log space when `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z` (`a_yx = 0` is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed), recovers the first-order discrete effect of a time-varying predictor with matched sampling and constancy intervals as `a_yx Δt` (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 14; ZORA accepted manuscript p. 21; not Eq. 12; unmatched intervals fail closed because Oud & Jansen, 2000, is unread), recovers the exact scalar discrete process noise `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-18T07:06Z, p. 4; scalar `L = 1`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; `z → −∞` keeps `−0.5 q / a`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; `z → +∞` and an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fail closed), recovers the exact scalar lagged latent covariance `exp(a Δt) p` and the law-of-total-variance map `Var(η_t) = exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-18T18:03Z; JSS has no numbered §2.2; `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})` and is refused as the unconditional variance; a zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` fails closed), recovers the exact scalar stationary within-subject variance `-q / (2 a)` as the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4 for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3 T0VAR stationarity; when `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`; CodeRabbit on `75ecdd3`); when `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`; do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)`, `a = -from_bits(1)` → `0.5`); `a ≥ 0` and finite-interval `Q_Δt` fail closed as that limit), recovers the exact scalar trait-plus-state variance `trait + state` and lagged covariance `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-18T21:07Z; a stable trait has `DRIFT` and `DIFFUSION` fixed to zero; `TRAITVAR` is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`; evolving the summed variance as if it were all state fails the claim boundary;

Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series is not the lagged within-person residual (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608). Metric/weak invariance licenses shared metric meaning only. Latent-mean comparison requires strong (equal loading and intercept) or strict invariance (Putnick & Bornstein, 2016, PMC5145197 opened 2026-08-19T22:15Z: scalar is required for latent means; residual invariance is not). Two-observation series have no residual degrees of freedom and cap at strong/scalar; identically-zero OLS residual variance is not strict. This two-group OLS gate is not MGCFA. Input/process/intervention/outcome paths obey event-time order.

It is not DSEM, not RI-CLPM, not a random-effects sampler, not a Kalman filter, and not a matrix `expm` implementation. The CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the **contextual** effect, not the between-cluster effect. Discrete lags from different event intervals are not one coefficient. Equation 14 is not Equation 12. Discrete process noise \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the continuous diffusion \(GG^{\top}\). \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is the conditional residual variance, not \(\operatorname{Var}(\eta_{t})\). Finite-interval \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the stationary within-subject variance. Trait variance is not process noise and not the stationary within-subject variance. Measurement-error variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Latent variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Manifest means are not the observed-indicator mean. The latent mean is not the observed-indicator mean. The continuous intercept is not the manifest mean. The first-occasion latent mean is not the evolved latent mean. The continuous intercept is not the discrete mean increment. The first-occasion observed mean is not the evolved observed mean. The contemporaneous `TDPREDEFFECT` impulse is not the continuous intercept, not the time-independent discrete effect, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The time-independent `TIPREDEFFECT` increment is not the continuous intercept, not the contemporaneous impulse, not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14), and not the coefficient `B`. The within-interval `TDPREDEFFECT` carry `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the contemporaneous-impulse observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not the impulse-carry observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` when `u ≠ t`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the impulse-carry observed mean. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the time-independent-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TIPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_b z` is not the Eq. 3 process increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `κ`, and not `M x`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z` and is not that process increment. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TI-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-T0TIPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TDPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `κ`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0` and is not that within-interval impulse carry. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TD-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. Same numbers as `T0TIPREDEFFECT` yield the same product; Table 3 names a different matrix. The evolved-plus-T0TDPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The §7.2 level-change `CINT` `κ = −a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Lasting level change via that `CINT` setting requires `a < 0`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not that `CINT` setting. The Eq. 3 increment of that setting `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps the equilibrium offset `m x`. The §7.2 extra-process contribution `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. Lasting level change via that extra process requires `ε < 0`. Precisely `ε = 0` causes computational problems in the printed specification. The extra-process observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` is not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`, not the contribution, and not the evolved-plus-contribution latent mean. The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. Table 2 `asymCINT` `-κ / a` is the intercept contribution to the stationary process mean. It is not `κ`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. Lasting asymptotic intercept change via that map requires `a < 0`. Page 16 notes that a `T0MEANS` stationarity constraint includes time-independent predictors; that composition is not this intercept-only map. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion mean `-κ / a + −B z / a` is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` is not `τ + λ μ_0`, not `τ + λ(−κ / a)` when `B z ≠ 0`, not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `MANIFESTMEANS`, and not the constrained latent mean. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, not later-occasion variance, not `e^{a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. A zero-diffusion carry with `a ≥ 0` is `e^{a Δt} p_0` and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined lagged latent covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary first-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not free `p_0`, not lagged covariance, and not later-occasion variance. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay and do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary first-occasion map. As `Δt → 0+` the lagged and later maps approach this composition. Trait-only variance does not require a stable drift. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined first-occasion latent variance, not stationary first-occasion observed variance, and not predetermined later observed variance when `p_0` is free. The later-start lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` is not first-occasion lagged covariance when `u > 0`, not later-occasion variance, not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, and not `e^{a s}` of the later total. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a s}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches first-occasion lagged covariance. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start lagged latent covariance, not first-occasion lagged observed covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-start later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` is not later-occasion variance at `u` when `s > 0`, not later-start lagged covariance, not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a s}` of the later total plus `Q_s`, and not later-occasion variance over the lag interval alone when `u > 0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_s`. Chapman–Kolmogorov writes `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance over `s`. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start later-occasion latent variance, not predetermined later observed variance, not later-start lagged observed covariance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free.

Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance.

Unstandardised `Q_Δt` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. The continuous standardisation `q / (−q / (2 a)) = −2 a` is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `Q_Δt / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance.

Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a)) = 1 − exp(2 a Δt)` depends on the event interval and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance.

It is not DSEM, not RI-CLPM, not a random-effects sampler, not a Kalman filter, and not a matrix `expm` implementation. The CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the **contextual** effect, not the between-cluster effect. Discrete lags from different event intervals are not one coefficient. Equation 14 is not Equation 12. Discrete process noise \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the continuous diffusion \(GG^{\top}\). \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is the conditional residual variance, not \(\operatorname{Var}(\eta_{t})\). Finite-interval \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the stationary within-subject variance. Trait variance is not process noise and not the stationary within-subject variance. Measurement-error variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Latent variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Manifest means are not the observed-indicator mean. The latent mean is not the observed-indicator mean. The continuous intercept is not the manifest mean. The first-occasion latent mean is not the evolved latent mean. The continuous intercept is not the discrete mean increment. The first-occasion observed mean is not the evolved observed mean. The contemporaneous `TDPREDEFFECT` impulse is not the continuous intercept, not the time-independent discrete effect, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The time-independent `TIPREDEFFECT` increment is not the continuous intercept, not the contemporaneous impulse, not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14), and not the coefficient `B`. The within-interval `TDPREDEFFECT` carry `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the contemporaneous-impulse observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not the impulse-carry observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` when `u ≠ t`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the impulse-carry observed mean. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the time-independent-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TIPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_b z` is not the Eq. 3 process increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `κ`, and not `M x`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z` and is not that process increment. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TI-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-T0TIPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TDPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `κ`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0` and is not that within-interval impulse carry. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TD-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. Same numbers as `T0TIPREDEFFECT` yield the same product; Table 3 names a different matrix. The evolved-plus-T0TDPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The §7.2 level-change `CINT` `κ = −a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Lasting level change via that `CINT` setting requires `a < 0`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not that `CINT` setting. The Eq. 3 increment of that setting `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps the equilibrium offset `m x`. The §7.2 extra-process contribution `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. Lasting level change via that extra process requires `ε < 0`. Precisely `ε = 0` causes computational problems in the printed specification. The extra-process observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` is not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`, not the contribution, and not the evolved-plus-contribution latent mean. The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. Table 2 `asymCINT` `-κ / a` is the intercept contribution to the stationary process mean. It is not `κ`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. Lasting asymptotic intercept change via that map requires `a < 0`. Page 16 notes that a `T0MEANS` stationarity constraint includes time-independent predictors; that composition is not this intercept-only map. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion mean `-κ / a + −B z / a` is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` is not `τ + λ μ_0`, not `τ + λ(−κ / a)` when `B z ≠ 0`, not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `MANIFESTMEANS`, and not the constrained latent mean. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, not later-occasion variance, not `e^{a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. A zero-diffusion carry with `a ≥ 0` is `e^{a Δt} p_0` and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined lagged latent covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary first-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not free `p_0`, not lagged covariance, and not later-occasion variance. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay and do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary first-occasion map. As `Δt → 0+` the lagged and later maps approach this composition. Trait-only variance does not require a stable drift. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined first-occasion latent variance, not stationary first-occasion observed variance, and not predetermined later observed variance when `p_0` is free. The later-start lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` is not first-occasion lagged covariance when `u > 0`, not later-occasion variance, not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, and not `e^{a s}` of the later total. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a s}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches first-occasion lagged covariance. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start lagged latent covariance, not first-occasion lagged observed covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-start later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` is not later-occasion variance at `u` when `s > 0`, not later-start lagged covariance, not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a s}` of the later total plus `Q_s`, and not later-occasion variance over the lag interval alone when `u > 0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_s`. Chapman–Kolmogorov writes `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance over `s`. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start later-occasion latent variance, not predetermined later observed variance, not later-start lagged observed covariance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free.

The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a)) = 1 − exp(2 a Δt)` depends on the event interval and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance.

This is two-group OLS, not MGCFA. Meredith (1993) names remain unread labels. -- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Later-start lagged covariance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T10:27Z). First-occasion lagged omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Later-occasion variance does not lag. Stationary lagged uses `−q / (2 a)`. Decaying the later total is not that map. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²` of it plus `ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. First-occasion lagged observed omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Later-start later-occasion variance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 3–4 Chapman–Kolmogorov `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:05Z). Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s`. Later-start lagged covariance omits `Q_s`. Stationary later uses `−q / (2 a)`. Evolving the later total as if it were all state is not that map. Ignoring `startoffset` omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance is `λ²` of it plus `θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that observed variance. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; footnote 4; §7.1; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:40Z). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `discreteDIFFUSIONstd` is `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:06Z). Unstandardised `Q_Δt` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. The continuous standardisation `−2 a` is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `Q_Δt / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DIFFUSIONstd` is `q / (−q / (2 a)) = −2 a` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:20Z). Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` depends on `Δt` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DRIFTstd` is the continuous auto-effect after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 1; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:28Z). Unstandardised `a` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DRIFTstd`. The discrete standardisation `e^{a Δt}` depends on the event interval and is not `DRIFTstd`. `a p / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` is `(-B / a) · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T14:25Z). Unstandardised `-B / a` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `(-B / a) · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T16:21Z). Unstandardised `B` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The asymptotic standardisation `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `B · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 / Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_b · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` `p_0` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; footnote 4; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T17:20Z). The affected variance is free first-occasion `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`. Unstandardised `t0_b` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` is the continuous coefficient and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `t0_b · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `t0_b² v` after a first-occasion time-independent predictor (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; §7.2; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T18:20Z). Form `t0_b` first, then square, then multiply by `v`. A zero coefficient or zero predictor variance is exactly zero. Free `T0TIPREDEFFECT` does not require `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is `addedTIPREDVAR` and is not this first-occasion map. `t0_b · √v / √p_0` is `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` and is not this variance. Free `T0VAR` is not this extra TI variance. `TRAITVAR` is not this extra TI variance. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. +- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Later-start lagged covariance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T10:27Z). First-occasion lagged omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Later-occasion variance does not lag. Stationary lagged uses `−q / (2 a)`. Decaying the later total is not that map. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²` of it plus `ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. First-occasion lagged observed omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Later-start later-occasion variance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 3–4 Chapman–Kolmogorov `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:05Z). Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s`. Later-start lagged covariance omits `Q_s`. Stationary later uses `−q / (2 a)`. Evolving the later total as if it were all state is not that map. Ignoring `startoffset` omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance is `λ²` of it plus `θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that observed variance. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; footnote 4; §7.1; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:40Z). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `discreteDIFFUSIONstd` is `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:06Z). Unstandardised `Q_Δt` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. The continuous standardisation `−2 a` is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `Q_Δt / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DIFFUSIONstd` is `q / (−q / (2 a)) = −2 a` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:20Z). Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` depends on `Δt` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DRIFTstd` is the continuous auto-effect after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 1; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:28Z). Unstandardised `a` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DRIFTstd`. The discrete standardisation `e^{a Δt}` depends on the event interval and is not `DRIFTstd`. `a p / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` is `(-B / a) · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T14:25Z). Unstandardised `-B / a` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `(-B / a) · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T16:21Z). Unstandardised `B` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The asymptotic standardisation `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `B · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 / Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_b · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` `p_0` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; footnote 4; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T17:20Z). The affected variance is free first-occasion `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`. Unstandardised `t0_b` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` is the continuous coefficient and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `t0_b · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `t0_b² v` after a first-occasion time-independent predictor (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; §7.2; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T18:20Z). Form `t0_b` first, then square, then multiply by `v`. A zero coefficient or zero predictor variance is exactly zero. Free `T0TIPREDEFFECT` does not require `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is `addedTIPREDVAR` and is not this first-occasion map. `t0_b · √v / √p_0` is `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` and is not this variance. Free `T0VAR` is not this extra TI variance. `TRAITVAR` is not this extra TI variance. Equation 5 of 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `λ² t0_b² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 3, p. 13; Table 2, p. 12; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T19:10Z). Form `t0_b² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. `t0_b² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² p_0 + θ` is first-occasion observed variance, not this extra. `λ² (B / a)² v` is Eq. 5 of `addedTIPREDVAR`, not this first-occasion observed extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. - Separate cluster means before within-unit lag. CWC plus an event-time lag is not DSEM. Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series does not isolate the lagged within-person effect (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608); already-centered residuals with irregular event intervals use the exact scalar map. - Do not treat the CWC cluster-mean coefficient as the between-cluster effect. It is the contextual effect `between − within` (Enders & Tofighi, 2007, Table 2, pp. 124–127). - Never use future-available evidence in historical model fits. diff --git a/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs b/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs index 2b41e97da..a13c3191f 100644 --- a/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs +++ b/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs @@ -831,6 +831,23 @@ pub enum PsychometricError { /// `TRAITVAR`.

The first-order product `a_yx Δt` is Eq. 14 and the underflow limit of Eq. 12, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. Already-centered residuals may have irregular event intervals. Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series is not the lagged within-person residual (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608). Metric/weak invariance licenses shared metric meaning only. Latent-mean comparison requires strong (equal loading and intercept) or strict invariance (Putnick & Bornstein, 2016, PMC5145197 opened 2026-08-19T22:15Z: scalar is required for latent means; residual invariance is not). Two-observation series have no residual degrees of freedom and cap at strong/scalar; identically-zero OLS residual variance is not strict. This two-group OLS gate is not MGCFA. +The executable multilevel slice is cluster-mean centering (CWC) plus within/between OLS, the CWC contextual effect (`between − within`), and Kish-weighted slopes. Enders and Tofighi (2007, Table 2, pp. 124–127) show that the CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the contextual effect, not the between-cluster effect. It is not DSEM and not RI-CLPM. The executable temporal slice maps a discrete lag through the exact scalar exponential `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time only (Voelkle, Oud, Davidov, & Schmidt, 2012, Eq. 7; Driver, Oud, & Voelkle, 2017, Eq. 3), recovers the forward map `φ(Δt) = exp(a Δt)`, remaps a discrete lag onto another event interval through that log-rate, recovers the exact scalar discrete effect of a constant predictor (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 12) as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows, and in log space when `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z` (`a_yx = 0` is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed), recovers the first-order discrete effect of a time-varying predictor with matched sampling and constancy intervals as `a_yx Δt` (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 14; ZORA accepted manuscript p. 21; not Eq. 12; unmatched intervals fail closed because Oud & Jansen, 2000, is unread), recovers the exact scalar discrete process noise `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3;

The first-order product `a_yx Δt` is Eq. 14 and the underflow limit of Eq. 12, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. Already-centered residuals may have irregular event intervals. Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series is not the lagged within-person residual (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608). Metric/weak invariance licenses shared metric meaning only. Latent-mean comparison requires strong (equal loading and intercept) or strict invariance (Putnick & Bornstein, 2016, PMC5145197 opened 2026-08-19T22:15Z: scalar is required for latent means; residual invariance is not). Two-observation series have no residual degrees of freedom and cap at strong/scalar; identically-zero OLS residual variance is not strict. This two-group OLS gate is not MGCFA. Input/process/intervention/outcome paths obey event-time order.

It is not DSEM, not RI-CLPM, not a random-effects sampler, not a Kalman filter, and not a matrix `expm` implementation. The CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the **contextual** effect, not the between-cluster effect. Discrete lags from different event intervals are not one coefficient. Equation 14 is not Equation 12. Discrete process noise \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the continuous diffusion \(GG^{\top}\). \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is the conditional residual variance, not \(\operatorname{Var}(\eta_{t})\). Finite-interval \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the stationary within-subject variance. Trait variance is not process noise and not the stationary within-subject variance. Measurement-error variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Latent variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Manifest means are not the observed-indicator mean. The latent mean is not the observed-indicator mean. The continuous intercept is not the manifest mean. The first-occasion latent mean is not the evolved latent mean. The continuous intercept is not the discrete mean increment. The first-occasion observed mean is not the evolved observed mean. The contemporaneous `TDPREDEFFECT` impulse is not the continuous intercept, not the time-independent discrete effect, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The time-independent `TIPREDEFFECT` increment is not the continuous intercept, not the contemporaneous impulse, not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14), and not the coefficient `B`. The within-interval `TDPREDEFFECT` carry `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the contemporaneous-impulse observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not the impulse-carry observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` when `u ≠ t`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the impulse-carry observed mean. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the time-independent-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TIPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_b z` is not the Eq. 3 process increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `κ`, and not `M x`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z` and is not that process increment. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TI-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-T0TIPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TDPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `κ`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0` and is not that within-interval impulse carry. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TD-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. Same numbers as `T0TIPREDEFFECT` yield the same product; Table 3 names a different matrix. The evolved-plus-T0TDPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The §7.2 level-change `CINT` `κ = −a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Lasting level change via that `CINT` setting requires `a < 0`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not that `CINT` setting. The Eq. 3 increment of that setting `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps the equilibrium offset `m x`. The §7.2 extra-process contribution `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. Lasting level change via that extra process requires `ε < 0`. Precisely `ε = 0` causes computational problems in the printed specification. The extra-process observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` is not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`, not the contribution, and not the evolved-plus-contribution latent mean. The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. Table 2 `asymCINT` `-κ / a` is the intercept contribution to the stationary process mean. It is not `κ`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. Lasting asymptotic intercept change via that map requires `a < 0`. Page 16 notes that a `T0MEANS` stationarity constraint includes time-independent predictors; that composition is not this intercept-only map. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion mean `-κ / a + −B z / a` is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` is not `τ + λ μ_0`, not `τ + λ(−κ / a)` when `B z ≠ 0`, not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `MANIFESTMEANS`, and not the constrained latent mean. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, not later-occasion variance, not `e^{a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. A zero-diffusion carry with `a ≥ 0` is `e^{a Δt} p_0` and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined lagged latent covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary first-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not free `p_0`, not lagged covariance, and not later-occasion variance. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay and do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary first-occasion map. As `Δt → 0+` the lagged and later maps approach this composition. Trait-only variance does not require a stable drift. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined first-occasion latent variance, not stationary first-occasion observed variance, and not predetermined later observed variance when `p_0` is free. The later-start lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` is not first-occasion lagged covariance when `u > 0`, not later-occasion variance, not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, and not `e^{a s}` of the later total. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a s}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches first-occasion lagged covariance. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start lagged latent covariance, not first-occasion lagged observed covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-start later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` is not later-occasion variance at `u` when `s > 0`, not later-start lagged covariance, not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a s}` of the later total plus `Q_s`, and not later-occasion variance over the lag interval alone when `u > 0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_s`. Chapman–Kolmogorov writes `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance over `s`. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start later-occasion latent variance, not predetermined later observed variance, not later-start lagged observed covariance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free.

The CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the **contextual** effect, not the between-cluster effect. Discrete lags from different event intervals are not one coefficient. Equation 14 is not Equation 12.

The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the impulse-carry observed mean. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the time-independent-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TIPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_b z` is not the Eq. 3 process increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `κ`, and not `M x`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z` and is not that process increment. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TI-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-T0TIPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TDPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `κ`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0` and is not that within-interval impulse carry. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TD-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. Same numbers as `T0TIPREDEFFECT` yield the same product; Table 3 names a different matrix. The evolved-plus-T0TDPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The §7.2 level-change `CINT` `κ = −a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Lasting level change via that `CINT` setting requires `a < 0`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not that `CINT` setting. The Eq. 3 increment of that setting `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps the equilibrium offset `m x`. The §7.2 extra-process contribution `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. Lasting level change via that extra process requires `ε < 0`. Precisely `ε = 0` causes computational problems in the printed specification. The extra-process observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` is not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`, not the contribution, and not the evolved-plus-contribution latent mean. The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. Table 2 `asymCINT` `-κ / a` is the intercept contribution to the stationary process mean. It is not `κ`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. Lasting asymptotic intercept change via that map requires `a < 0`. Page 16 notes that a `T0MEANS` stationarity constraint includes time-independent predictors; that composition is not this intercept-only map. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion mean `-κ / a + −B z / a` is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` is not `τ + λ μ_0`, not `τ + λ(−κ / a)` when `B z ≠ 0`, not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `MANIFESTMEANS`, and not the constrained latent mean. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, not later-occasion variance, not `e^{a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. A zero-diffusion carry with `a ≥ 0` is `e^{a Δt} p_0` and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined lagged latent covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary first-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not free `p_0`, not lagged covariance, and not later-occasion variance. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay and do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary first-occasion map. As `Δt → 0+` the lagged and later maps approach this composition. Trait-only variance does not require a stable drift. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined first-occasion latent variance, not stationary first-occasion observed variance, and not predetermined later observed variance when `p_0` is free. The later-start lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` is not first-occasion lagged covariance when `u > 0`, not later-occasion variance, not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, and not `e^{a s}` of the later total. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a s}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches first-occasion lagged covariance. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start lagged latent covariance, not first-occasion lagged observed covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-start later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` is not later-occasion variance at `u` when `s > 0`, not later-start lagged covariance, not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a s}` of the later total plus `Q_s`, and not later-occasion variance over the lag interval alone when `u > 0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_s`. Chapman–Kolmogorov writes `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance over `s`. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start later-occasion latent variance, not predetermined later observed variance, not later-start lagged observed covariance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free.

A zero coefficient or zero predictor variance is exactly zero. Free `T0TIPREDEFFECT` does not require `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is `addedTIPREDVAR` and is not this first-occasion map. `t0_b · √v / √p_0` is `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` and is not this variance.

This is two-group OLS, not MGCFA. Meredith (1993) names remain unread labels. -- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Later-start lagged covariance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T10:27Z). First-occasion lagged omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Later-occasion variance does not lag. Stationary lagged uses `−q / (2 a)`. Decaying the later total is not that map. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²` of it plus `ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. First-occasion lagged observed omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Later-start later-occasion variance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 3–4 Chapman–Kolmogorov `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:05Z). Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s`. Later-start lagged covariance omits `Q_s`. Stationary later uses `−q / (2 a)`. Evolving the later total as if it were all state is not that map. Ignoring `startoffset` omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance is `λ²` of it plus `θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that observed variance. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; footnote 4; §7.1; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:40Z). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `discreteDIFFUSIONstd` is `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:06Z). Unstandardised `Q_Δt` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. The continuous standardisation `−2 a` is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `Q_Δt / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DIFFUSIONstd` is `q / (−q / (2 a)) = −2 a` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:20Z). Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` depends on `Δt` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DRIFTstd` is the continuous auto-effect after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 1; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:28Z). Unstandardised `a` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DRIFTstd`. The discrete standardisation `e^{a Δt}` depends on the event interval and is not `DRIFTstd`. `a p / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` is `(-B / a) · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T14:25Z). Unstandardised `-B / a` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `(-B / a) · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T16:21Z). Unstandardised `B` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The asymptotic standardisation `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `B · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 / Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_b · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` `p_0` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; footnote 4; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T17:20Z). The affected variance is free first-occasion `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`. Unstandardised `t0_b` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` is the continuous coefficient and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `t0_b · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `t0_b² v` after a first-occasion time-independent predictor (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; §7.2; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T18:20Z). Form `t0_b` first, then square, then multiply by `v`. A zero coefficient or zero predictor variance is exactly zero. Free `T0TIPREDEFFECT` does not require `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is `addedTIPREDVAR` and is not this first-occasion map. `t0_b · √v / √p_0` is `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` and is not this variance. Free `T0VAR` is not this extra TI variance. `TRAITVAR` is not this extra TI variance. Equation 5 of 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `λ² t0_b² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 3, p. 13; Table 2, p. 12; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T19:10Z). Form `t0_b² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. `t0_b² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² p_0 + θ` is first-occasion observed variance, not this extra. `λ² (B / a)² v` is Eq. 5 of `addedTIPREDVAR`, not this first-occasion observed extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. +- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Later-start lagged covariance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T10:27Z). First-occasion lagged omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Later-occasion variance does not lag. Stationary lagged uses `−q / (2 a)`. Decaying the later total is not that map. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²` of it plus `ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. First-occasion lagged observed omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Later-start later-occasion variance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 3–4 Chapman–Kolmogorov `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:05Z). Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s`. Later-start lagged covariance omits `Q_s`. Stationary later uses `−q / (2 a)`. Evolving the later total as if it were all state is not that map. Ignoring `startoffset` omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance is `λ²` of it plus `θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that observed variance. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; footnote 4; §7.1; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:40Z). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `discreteDIFFUSIONstd` is `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:06Z). Unstandardised `Q_Δt` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. The continuous standardisation `−2 a` is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `Q_Δt / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DIFFUSIONstd` is `q / (−q / (2 a)) = −2 a` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:20Z). Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` depends on `Δt` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DRIFTstd` is the continuous auto-effect after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 1; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:28Z). Unstandardised `a` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DRIFTstd`. The discrete standardisation `e^{a Δt}` depends on the event interval and is not `DRIFTstd`. `a p / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` is `(-B / a) · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T14:25Z). Unstandardised `-B / a` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `(-B / a) · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T16:21Z). Unstandardised `B` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The asymptotic standardisation `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `B · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 / Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_b · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` `p_0` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; footnote 4; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T17:20Z). The affected variance is free first-occasion `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`. Unstandardised `t0_b` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` is the continuous coefficient and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `t0_b · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `t0_b² v` after a first-occasion time-independent predictor (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; §7.2; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T18:20Z). Form `t0_b` first, then square, then multiply by `v`. A zero coefficient or zero predictor variance is exactly zero. Free `T0TIPREDEFFECT` does not require `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is `addedTIPREDVAR` and is not this first-occasion map. `t0_b · √v / √p_0` is `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` and is not this variance. Free `T0VAR` is not this extra TI variance. `TRAITVAR` is not this extra TI variance. Equation 5 of 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `λ² t0_b² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 3, p. 13; Table 2, p. 12; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T19:10Z). Form `t0_b² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. `t0_b² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² p_0 + θ` is first-occasion observed variance, not this extra. `λ² (B / a)² v` is Eq. 5 of `addedTIPREDVAR`, not this first-occasion observed extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Equation 5 of §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` is `λ² (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12; §7.2, pp. 20–21; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T19:23Z). Form `(B / a)² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. Lasting asymptotic extra requires `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² t0_b² v` is first-occasion extra observed TI variance, not this extra. `λ² p + θ` is stationary observed variance, not this extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. - Separate cluster means before within-unit lag. CWC plus an event-time lag is not DSEM. Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series does not isolate the lagged within-person effect (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608); already-centered residuals with irregular event intervals use the exact scalar map. - Do not treat the CWC cluster-mean coefficient as the between-cluster effect. It is the contextual effect `between − within` (Enders & Tofighi, 2007, Table 2, pp. 124–127). - Never use future-available evidence in historical model fits. diff --git a/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs b/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs index a13c3191f..7de2251cc 100644 --- a/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs +++ b/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs @@ -848,6 +848,23 @@ pub enum PsychometricError { /// treated as `MANIFESTVAR` `θ`.

The executable temporal slice maps a discrete lag through the exact scalar exponential `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time only (Voelkle, Oud, Davidov, & Schmidt, 2012, Eq. 7; Driver, Oud, & Voelkle, 2017, Eq. 3), recovers the forward map `φ(Δt) = exp(a Δt)`, remaps a discrete lag onto another event interval through that log-rate, recovers the exact scalar discrete effect of a constant predictor (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 12) as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows, and in log space when `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z` (`a_yx = 0` is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed), recovers the first-order discrete effect of a time-varying predictor with matched sampling and constancy intervals as `a_yx Δt` (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 14; ZORA accepted manuscript p. 21; not Eq. 12; unmatched intervals fail closed because Oud & Jansen, 2000, is unread), recovers the exact scalar discrete process noise `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-18T07:06Z, p. 4; scalar `L = 1`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; `z → −∞` keeps `−0.5 q / a`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; `z → +∞` and an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fail closed), recovers the exact scalar lagged latent covariance `exp(a Δt) p` and the law-of-total-variance map `Var(η_t) = exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-18T18:03Z; JSS has no numbered §2.2; `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})` and is refused as the unconditional variance; a zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` fails closed), recovers the exact scalar stationary within-subject variance `-q / (2 a)` as the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4 for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3 T0VAR stationarity; when `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`; CodeRabbit on `75ecdd3`); when `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`; do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)`, `a = -from_bits(1)` → `0.5`); `a ≥ 0` and finite-interval `Q_Δt` fail closed as that limit), recovers the exact scalar trait-plus-state variance `trait + state` and lagged covariance `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-18T21:07Z; a stable trait has `DRIFT` and `DIFFUSION` fixed to zero; `TRAITVAR` is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`; evolving the summed variance as if it were all state fails the claim boundary;

Two-observation series have no residual degrees of freedom and cap at strong/scalar; identically-zero OLS residual variance is not strict. This two-group OLS gate is not MGCFA.

It is not DSEM, not RI-CLPM, not a random-effects sampler, not a Kalman filter, and not a matrix `expm` implementation. The CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the **contextual** effect, not the between-cluster effect. Discrete lags from different event intervals are not one coefficient. Equation 14 is not Equation 12. Discrete process noise \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the continuous diffusion \(GG^{\top}\). \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is the conditional residual variance, not \(\operatorname{Var}(\eta_{t})\). Finite-interval \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the stationary within-subject variance. Trait variance is not process noise and not the stationary within-subject variance. Measurement-error variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Latent variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Manifest means are not the observed-indicator mean. The latent mean is not the observed-indicator mean. The continuous intercept is not the manifest mean. The first-occasion latent mean is not the evolved latent mean. The continuous intercept is not the discrete mean increment. The first-occasion observed mean is not the evolved observed mean. The contemporaneous `TDPREDEFFECT` impulse is not the continuous intercept, not the time-independent discrete effect, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The time-independent `TIPREDEFFECT` increment is not the continuous intercept, not the contemporaneous impulse, not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14), and not the coefficient `B`. The within-interval `TDPREDEFFECT` carry `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the contemporaneous-impulse observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not the impulse-carry observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` when `u ≠ t`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the impulse-carry observed mean. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the time-independent-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TIPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_b z` is not the Eq. 3 process increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `κ`, and not `M x`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z` and is not that process increment. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TI-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-T0TIPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TDPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `κ`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0` and is not that within-interval impulse carry. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TD-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. Same numbers as `T0TIPREDEFFECT` yield the same product; Table 3 names a different matrix. The evolved-plus-T0TDPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The §7.2 level-change `CINT` `κ = −a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Lasting level change via that `CINT` setting requires `a < 0`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not that `CINT` setting. The Eq. 3 increment of that setting `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps the equilibrium offset `m x`. The §7.2 extra-process contribution `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. Lasting level change via that extra process requires `ε < 0`. Precisely `ε = 0` causes computational problems in the printed specification. The extra-process observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` is not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`, not the contribution, and not the evolved-plus-contribution latent mean. The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. Table 2 `asymCINT` `-κ / a` is the intercept contribution to the stationary process mean. It is not `κ`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. Lasting asymptotic intercept change via that map requires `a < 0`. Page 16 notes that a `T0MEANS` stationarity constraint includes time-independent predictors; that composition is not this intercept-only map. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion mean `-κ / a + −B z / a` is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` is not `τ + λ μ_0`, not `τ + λ(−κ / a)` when `B z ≠ 0`, not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `MANIFESTMEANS`, and not the constrained latent mean. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, not later-occasion variance, not `e^{a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. A zero-diffusion carry with `a ≥ 0` is `e^{a Δt} p_0` and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined lagged latent covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary first-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not free `p_0`, not lagged covariance, and not later-occasion variance. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay and do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary first-occasion map. As `Δt → 0+` the lagged and later maps approach this composition. Trait-only variance does not require a stable drift. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined first-occasion latent variance, not stationary first-occasion observed variance, and not predetermined later observed variance when `p_0` is free. The later-start lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` is not first-occasion lagged covariance when `u > 0`, not later-occasion variance, not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, and not `e^{a s}` of the later total. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a s}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches first-occasion lagged covariance. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start lagged latent covariance, not first-occasion lagged observed covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-start later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` is not later-occasion variance at `u` when `s > 0`, not later-start lagged covariance, not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a s}` of the later total plus `Q_s`, and not later-occasion variance over the lag interval alone when `u > 0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_s`. Chapman–Kolmogorov writes `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance over `s`. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start later-occasion latent variance, not predetermined later observed variance, not later-start lagged observed covariance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (footnote 4: standardise `DRIFT` using only within-subject variance, not the total). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance.

The continuous standardisation `q / (−q / (2 a)) = −2 a` is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `Q_Δt / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance.

A zero coefficient or zero predictor variance is exactly zero. Free `T0TIPREDEFFECT` does not require `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is `addedTIPREDVAR` and is not this first-occasion map. `t0_b · √v / √p_0` is `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` and is not this variance. Free `T0VAR` is not this extra TI variance. `TRAITVAR` is not this extra TI variance. Equation 5 of 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `λ² t0_b² v`. Form `t0_b² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. `t0_b² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² p_0 + θ` is first-occasion observed variance, not this extra. `λ² (B / a)² v` is Eq. 5 of `addedTIPREDVAR`, not this first-occasion observed extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. +This is two-level OLS and a noiseless scalar continuous-time map. It is not DSEM, not RI-CLPM, not a random-effects sampler, not a Kalman filter, and not a matrix `expm` implementation. The CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the **contextual** effect, not the between-cluster effect. Discrete lags from different event intervals are not one coefficient. Equation 14 is not Equation 12. Discrete process noise \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the continuous diffusion \(GG^{\top}\). \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is the conditional residual variance, not \(\operatorname{Var}(\eta_{t})\). Finite-interval \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the stationary within-subject variance. Trait variance is not process noise and not the stationary within-subject variance. Measurement-error variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Latent variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Manifest means are not the observed-indicator mean. The latent mean is not the observed-indicator mean. The continuous intercept is not the manifest mean. The first-occasion latent mean is not the evolved latent mean. The continuous intercept is not the discrete mean increment. The first-occasion observed mean is not the evolved observed mean. The contemporaneous `TDPREDEFFECT` impulse is not the continuous intercept, not the time-independent discrete effect, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The time-independent `TIPREDEFFECT` increment is not the continuous intercept, not the contemporaneous impulse, not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14), and not the coefficient `B`. The within-interval `TDPREDEFFECT` carry `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the contemporaneous-impulse observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not the impulse-carry observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` when `u ≠ t`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the impulse-carry observed mean. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the time-independent-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TIPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_b z` is not the Eq. 3 process increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `κ`, and not `M x`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z` and is not that process increment. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TI-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-T0TIPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TDPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `κ`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0` and is not that within-interval impulse carry. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TD-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. Same numbers as `T0TIPREDEFFECT` yield the same product; Table 3 names a different matrix. The evolved-plus-T0TDPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The §7.2 level-change `CINT` `κ = −a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Lasting level change via that `CINT` setting requires `a < 0`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not that `CINT` setting. The Eq. 3 increment of that setting `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps the equilibrium offset `m x`. The §7.2 extra-process contribution `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. Lasting level change via that extra process requires `ε < 0`. Precisely `ε = 0` causes computational problems in the printed specification. The extra-process observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` is not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`, not the contribution, and not the evolved-plus-contribution latent mean. The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. Table 2 `asymCINT` `-κ / a` is the intercept contribution to the stationary process mean. It is not `κ`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. Lasting asymptotic intercept change via that map requires `a < 0`. Page 16 notes that a `T0MEANS` stationarity constraint includes time-independent predictors; that composition is not this intercept-only map. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion mean `-κ / a + −B z / a` is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` is not `τ + λ μ_0`, not `τ + λ(−κ / a)` when `B z ≠ 0`, not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `MANIFESTMEANS`, and not the constrained latent mean. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, not later-occasion variance, not `e^{a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. A zero-diffusion carry with `a ≥ 0` is `e^{a Δt} p_0` and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined lagged latent covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary first-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not free `p_0`, not lagged covariance, and not later-occasion variance. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay and do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary first-occasion map. As `Δt → 0+` the lagged and later maps approach this composition. Trait-only variance does not require a stable drift. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined first-occasion latent variance, not stationary first-occasion observed variance, and not predetermined later observed variance when `p_0` is free. The later-start lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` is not first-occasion lagged covariance when `u > 0`, not later-occasion variance, not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, and not `e^{a s}` of the later total. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a s}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches first-occasion lagged covariance. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start lagged latent covariance, not first-occasion lagged observed covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-start later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` is not later-occasion variance at `u` when `s > 0`, not later-start lagged covariance, not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a s}` of the later total plus `Q_s`, and not later-occasion variance over the lag interval alone when `u > 0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_s`. Chapman–Kolmogorov writes `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance over `s`. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start later-occasion latent variance, not predetermined later observed variance, not later-start lagged observed covariance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free.

From 96e8d1c21924124d144f6273893eda8ac6b41b2d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Seongho Bae Date: Sun, 23 Aug 2026 05:24:30 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 19/53] feat(psychometric): recover Driver later-occasion variance of predetermined T0VAR MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Map the Driver, Oud, and Voelkle (2017, Eq. 3–5 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion) later-occasion variance of free T0VAR as trait + e^{2aΔt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B/a)²v. Trait and addedTIPREDVAR do not enter Q_Δt. Setting p_0 = −q/(2a) recovers the stationary later map. Stationary later variance, free discrete evolution of trait+p_0+added, and p_0 itself remain refused as this composition. Observed later variance is λ² of that map plus θ + ψ. Growing processes with a ≥ 0 are kept when the TI contribution is zero. --- ARCHITECTURE.md | 2 +- CHANGELOG.md | 1 + CLAUDE.md | 2 +- crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs | 72 ++ crates/psychometric_core/src/event_time.rs | 959 ++++++++++++++++++ crates/psychometric_core/src/lib.rs | 38 + ...multilevel_event_time_recovery_contract.rs | 412 ++++++++ .../scientific_claim_boundary_contract.rs | 173 ++++ docs/TRACEABILITY.md | 2 +- docs/adr/0005-posterior-esem-dsem.md | 4 +- .../multilevel-event-time-recovery.md | 20 +- 11 files changed, 1673 insertions(+), 12 deletions(-) diff --git a/ARCHITECTURE.md b/ARCHITECTURE.md index 2f42564a8..cd9f024dd 100644 --- a/ARCHITECTURE.md +++ b/ARCHITECTURE.md @@ -61,7 +61,7 @@ boundaries above remain the target modular MSA architecture. | `tepp_simulation` | known-truth temporal/event data generation | | `validation_core` | RMSE, bias, coverage, graph, and Monte Carlo metrics | | `tepp_api` | versioned DTO, schema, and export contracts | -| `psychometric_core` | posterior-aware structural input gates, CWC within/between OLS plus the contextual effect, event-time log-rate, unequal-interval discrete-lag remapping, constant-predictor discrete effect, time-varying-predictor discrete effect (Eq. 14), exact scalar discrete process noise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3), lagged latent covariance and unconditional latent variance (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4), stationary within-subject variance (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 4 as `Δt → ∞`;

Section 4.3 treats the first time point as predetermined when no assumptions are made about the process prior to the initial time point. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is then estimated. The process gradually transitions from the variances of the initial parameters toward those of the parameters when the model is stationary. Equation 3 writes `η(t) = exp(A Δt) η(t0) + … +` the stochastic integral. Equation 4 writes that the integral exhibits covariance `Q_Δt`. The law of total variance on the within-subject state is `e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` are time-invariant between-subject and do not enter that process-noise integral. The later-occasion composition is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v`. Form the evolved free first-occasion variance first, then include the trait, then include the TI extra variance, then add. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not this map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state (`e^{2 a Δt}` of that total plus `Q_Δt`) is not this map. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not this map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the carried `p_0` vanishes and `Q_Δt` approaches `−q / (2 a)`, so the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. The interval must be event time and strictly positive. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that later-occasion observed variance. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not the predetermined later-occasion observed variance. Stationary later-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Still not a Kalman filter, not a matrix `expm`, not ESEM estimation, not DSEM, and not ctsem estimation.

Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean.

The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. +- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T20:20Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. - Separate cluster means before within-unit lag. CWC plus an event-time lag is not DSEM. Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series does not isolate the lagged within-person effect (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608); already-centered residuals with irregular event intervals use the exact scalar map. - Do not treat the CWC cluster-mean coefficient as the between-cluster effect. It is the contextual effect `between − within` (Enders & Tofighi, 2007, Table 2, pp. 124–127). - Never use future-available evidence in historical model fits. diff --git a/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs b/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs index bea873adf..17c32d0fc 100644 --- a/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs +++ b/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs @@ -504,6 +504,29 @@ pub enum PsychometricError { /// later-occasion stationary observed variance.

The first-order product `a_yx Δt` is Eq. 14 and the underflow limit of Eq. 12, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. Already-centered residuals may have irregular event intervals. Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series is not the lagged within-person residual (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608). Metric/weak invariance licenses shared metric meaning only. Latent-mean comparison requires strong (equal loading and intercept) or strict invariance (Putnick & Bornstein, 2016, PMC5145197 opened 2026-08-19T22:15Z: scalar is required for latent means; residual invariance is not). Two-observation series have no residual degrees of freedom and cap at strong/scalar; identically-zero OLS residual variance is not strict. This two-group OLS gate is not MGCFA. +The executable multilevel slice is cluster-mean centering (CWC) plus within/between OLS, the CWC contextual effect (`between − within`), and Kish-weighted slopes. Enders and Tofighi (2007, Table 2, pp. 124–127) show that the CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the contextual effect, not the between-cluster effect. It is not DSEM and not RI-CLPM. The executable temporal slice maps a discrete lag through the exact scalar exponential `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time only (Voelkle, Oud, Davidov, & Schmidt, 2012, Eq. 7; Driver, Oud, & Voelkle, 2017, Eq. 3), recovers the forward map `φ(Δt) = exp(a Δt)`, remaps a discrete lag onto another event interval through that log-rate, recovers the exact scalar discrete effect of a constant predictor (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 12) as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows, and in log space when `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z` (`a_yx = 0` is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed), recovers the first-order discrete effect of a time-varying predictor with matched sampling and constancy intervals as `a_yx Δt` (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 14; ZORA accepted manuscript p. 21; not Eq. 12; unmatched intervals fail closed because Oud & Jansen, 2000, is unread), recovers the exact scalar discrete process noise `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3;

Two-observation series have no residual degrees of freedom and cap at strong/scalar; identically-zero OLS residual variance is not strict. This two-group OLS gate is not MGCFA.

It is not DSEM, not RI-CLPM, not a random-effects sampler, not a Kalman filter, and not a matrix `expm` implementation. The CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the **contextual** effect, not the between-cluster effect. Discrete lags from different event intervals are not one coefficient. Equation 14 is not Equation 12. Discrete process noise \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the continuous diffusion \(GG^{\top}\). \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is the conditional residual variance, not \(\operatorname{Var}(\eta_{t})\). Finite-interval \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the stationary within-subject variance. Trait variance is not process noise and not the stationary within-subject variance. Measurement-error variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Latent variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Manifest means are not the observed-indicator mean. The latent mean is not the observed-indicator mean. The continuous intercept is not the manifest mean. The first-occasion latent mean is not the evolved latent mean. The continuous intercept is not the discrete mean increment. The first-occasion observed mean is not the evolved observed mean. The contemporaneous `TDPREDEFFECT` impulse is not the continuous intercept, not the time-independent discrete effect, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The time-independent `TIPREDEFFECT` increment is not the continuous intercept, not the contemporaneous impulse, not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14), and not the coefficient `B`. The within-interval `TDPREDEFFECT` carry `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the contemporaneous-impulse observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not the impulse-carry observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` when `u ≠ t`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the impulse-carry observed mean. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the time-independent-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TIPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_b z` is not the Eq. 3 process increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `κ`, and not `M x`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z` and is not that process increment. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TI-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-T0TIPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TDPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `κ`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0` and is not that within-interval impulse carry. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TD-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. Same numbers as `T0TIPREDEFFECT` yield the same product; Table 3 names a different matrix. The evolved-plus-T0TDPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The §7.2 level-change `CINT` `κ = −a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Lasting level change via that `CINT` setting requires `a < 0`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not that `CINT` setting. The Eq. 3 increment of that setting `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps the equilibrium offset `m x`. The §7.2 extra-process contribution `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. Lasting level change via that extra process requires `ε < 0`. Precisely `ε = 0` causes computational problems in the printed specification. The extra-process observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` is not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`, not the contribution, and not the evolved-plus-contribution latent mean. The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. Table 2 `asymCINT` `-κ / a` is the intercept contribution to the stationary process mean. It is not `κ`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. Lasting asymptotic intercept change via that map requires `a < 0`. Page 16 notes that a `T0MEANS` stationarity constraint includes time-independent predictors; that composition is not this intercept-only map. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion mean `-κ / a + −B z / a` is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` is not `τ + λ μ_0`, not `τ + λ(−κ / a)` when `B z ≠ 0`, not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `MANIFESTMEANS`, and not the constrained latent mean. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. +This is two-level OLS and a noiseless scalar continuous-time map. It is not DSEM, not RI-CLPM, not a random-effects sampler, not a Kalman filter, and not a matrix `expm` implementation. The CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the **contextual** effect, not the between-cluster effect. Discrete lags from different event intervals are not one coefficient. Equation 14 is not Equation 12. Discrete process noise \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the continuous diffusion \(GG^{\top}\). \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is the conditional residual variance, not \(\operatorname{Var}(\eta_{t})\). Finite-interval \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the stationary within-subject variance. Trait variance is not process noise and not the stationary within-subject variance. Measurement-error variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Latent variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Manifest means are not the observed-indicator mean. The latent mean is not the observed-indicator mean. The continuous intercept is not the manifest mean. The first-occasion latent mean is not the evolved latent mean. The continuous intercept is not the discrete mean increment. The first-occasion observed mean is not the evolved observed mean. The contemporaneous `TDPREDEFFECT` impulse is not the continuous intercept, not the time-independent discrete effect, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The time-independent `TIPREDEFFECT` increment is not the continuous intercept, not the contemporaneous impulse, not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14), and not the coefficient `B`. The within-interval `TDPREDEFFECT` carry `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the contemporaneous-impulse observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not the impulse-carry observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` when `u ≠ t`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the impulse-carry observed mean. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the time-independent-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TIPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_b z` is not the Eq. 3 process increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `κ`, and not `M x`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z` and is not that process increment. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TI-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-T0TIPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TDPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `κ`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0` and is not that within-interval impulse carry. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TD-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. Same numbers as `T0TIPREDEFFECT` yield the same product; Table 3 names a different matrix. The evolved-plus-T0TDPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The §7.2 level-change `CINT` `κ = −a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Lasting level change via that `CINT` setting requires `a < 0`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not that `CINT` setting. The Eq. 3 increment of that setting `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps the equilibrium offset `m x`. The §7.2 extra-process contribution `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. Lasting level change via that extra process requires `ε < 0`. Precisely `ε = 0` causes computational problems in the printed specification. The extra-process observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` is not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`, not the contribution, and not the evolved-plus-contribution latent mean. The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. Table 2 `asymCINT` `-κ / a` is the intercept contribution to the stationary process mean. It is not `κ`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`.

The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. ## Authoritative sources @@ -74,7 +76,7 @@ Kish, L.

The mean of \(a=\ln(r_{t+\Delta t}/r_t)/\Delta t\) is the exact scalar map. Intervals may be irregular. The helper does not center again. This is not DSEM. @@ -165,6 +169,8 @@ The Voelkle et al.

Section 4.3 treats the first time point as predetermined when no assumptions are made about the process prior to the initial time point. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is then estimated. Equation 3 writes `η(t) = exp(A Δt) η(t0) + …`. Equation 4 writes `cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) = A_Δt cov(η_{t-1})`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` are time-invariant between-subject and do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. The lagged composition is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v`.

The later-occasion map `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` includes `Q_Δt` and is not this map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes.

Section 4.3 treats the first time point as predetermined when no assumptions are made about the process prior to the initial time point. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is then estimated. The process gradually transitions from the variances of the initial parameters toward those of the parameters when the model is stationary. Equation 3 writes `η(t) = exp(A Δt) η(t0) + … +` the stochastic integral. Equation 4 writes that the integral exhibits covariance `Q_Δt`. The law of total variance on the within-subject state is `e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` are time-invariant between-subject and do not enter that process-noise integral. The later-occasion composition is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v`. Form the evolved free first-occasion variance first, then include the trait, then include the TI extra variance, then add. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not this map when `p_0` is free.

As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the carried `p_0` vanishes and `Q_Δt` approaches `−q / (2 a)`, so the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. The interval must be event time and strictly positive.

This is two-group OLS, not MGCFA. Meredith (1993) names remain unread labels. -- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T20:20Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. +- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T20:20Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. - Separate cluster means before within-unit lag. CWC plus an event-time lag is not DSEM. Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series does not isolate the lagged within-person effect (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608); already-centered residuals with irregular event intervals use the exact scalar map. - Do not treat the CWC cluster-mean coefficient as the between-cluster effect. It is the contextual effect `between − within` (Enders & Tofighi, 2007, Table 2, pp. 124–127). - Never use future-available evidence in historical model fits. diff --git a/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs b/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs index 17c32d0fc..71c43e4a1 100644 --- a/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs +++ b/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs @@ -527,6 +527,36 @@ pub enum PsychometricError { /// as predetermined later-occasion observed variance.

The first-order product `a_yx Δt` is Eq. 14 and the underflow limit of Eq. 12, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. Already-centered residuals may have irregular event intervals. Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series is not the lagged within-person residual (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608). Metric/weak invariance licenses shared metric meaning only. Latent-mean comparison requires strong (equal loading and intercept) or strict invariance (Putnick & Bornstein, 2016, PMC5145197 opened 2026-08-19T22:15Z: scalar is required for latent means; residual invariance is not). Two-observation series have no residual degrees of freedom and cap at strong/scalar; identically-zero OLS residual variance is not strict. This two-group OLS gate is not MGCFA. +The executable multilevel slice is cluster-mean centering (CWC) plus within/between OLS, the CWC contextual effect (`between − within`), and Kish-weighted slopes. Enders and Tofighi (2007, Table 2, pp. 124–127) show that the CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the contextual effect, not the between-cluster effect. It is not DSEM and not RI-CLPM. The executable temporal slice maps a discrete lag through the exact scalar exponential `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time only (Voelkle, Oud, Davidov, & Schmidt, 2012, Eq. 7; Driver, Oud, & Voelkle, 2017, Eq. 3), recovers the forward map `φ(Δt) = exp(a Δt)`, remaps a discrete lag onto another event interval through that log-rate, recovers the exact scalar discrete effect of a constant predictor (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 12) as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows, and in log space when `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z` (`a_yx = 0` is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed), recovers the first-order discrete effect of a time-varying predictor with matched sampling and constancy intervals as `a_yx Δt` (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 14; ZORA accepted manuscript p. 21; not Eq. 12; unmatched intervals fail closed because Oud & Jansen, 2000, is unread), recovers the exact scalar discrete process noise `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3;

The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0` and is not that within-interval impulse carry. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TD-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. Same numbers as `T0TIPREDEFFECT` yield the same product; Table 3 names a different matrix. The evolved-plus-T0TDPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The §7.2 level-change `CINT` `κ = −a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Lasting level change via that `CINT` setting requires `a < 0`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not that `CINT` setting. The Eq. 3 increment of that setting `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps the equilibrium offset `m x`. The §7.2 extra-process contribution `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. Lasting level change via that extra process requires `ε < 0`. Precisely `ε = 0` causes computational problems in the printed specification. The extra-process observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` is not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`, not the contribution, and not the evolved-plus-contribution latent mean. The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. Table 2 `asymCINT` `-κ / a` is the intercept contribution to the stationary process mean. It is not `κ`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. Lasting asymptotic intercept change via that map requires `a < 0`. Page 16 notes that a `T0MEANS` stationarity constraint includes time-independent predictors; that composition is not this intercept-only map. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion mean `-κ / a + −B z / a` is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` is not `τ + λ μ_0`, not `τ + λ(−κ / a)` when `B z ≠ 0`, not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `MANIFESTMEANS`, and not the constrained latent mean. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. +This is two-level OLS and a noiseless scalar continuous-time map. It is not DSEM, not RI-CLPM, not a random-effects sampler, not a Kalman filter, and not a matrix `expm` implementation. The CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the **contextual** effect, not the between-cluster effect. Discrete lags from different event intervals are not one coefficient. Equation 14 is not Equation 12. Discrete process noise \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the continuous diffusion \(GG^{\top}\). \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is the conditional residual variance, not \(\operatorname{Var}(\eta_{t})\). Finite-interval \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the stationary within-subject variance. Trait variance is not process noise and not the stationary within-subject variance. Measurement-error variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Latent variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Manifest means are not the observed-indicator mean. The latent mean is not the observed-indicator mean. The continuous intercept is not the manifest mean. The first-occasion latent mean is not the evolved latent mean. The continuous intercept is not the discrete mean increment. The first-occasion observed mean is not the evolved observed mean. The contemporaneous `TDPREDEFFECT` impulse is not the continuous intercept, not the time-independent discrete effect, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The time-independent `TIPREDEFFECT` increment is not the continuous intercept, not the contemporaneous impulse, not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14), and not the coefficient `B`. The within-interval `TDPREDEFFECT` carry `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the contemporaneous-impulse observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not the impulse-carry observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` when `u ≠ t`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the impulse-carry observed mean. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the time-independent-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TIPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_b z` is not the Eq. 3 process increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `κ`, and not `M x`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z` and is not that process increment. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TI-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-T0TIPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TDPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `κ`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0` and is not that within-interval impulse carry. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TD-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. Same numbers as `T0TIPREDEFFECT` yield the same product; Table 3 names a different matrix. The evolved-plus-T0TDPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The §7.2 level-change `CINT` `κ = −a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Lasting level change via that `CINT` setting requires `a < 0`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not that `CINT` setting. The Eq. 3 increment of that setting `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps the equilibrium offset `m x`. The §7.2 extra-process contribution `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. Lasting level change via that extra process requires `ε < 0`. Precisely `ε = 0` causes computational problems in the printed specification. The extra-process observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` is not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`, not the contribution, and not the evolved-plus-contribution latent mean. The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. Table 2 `asymCINT` `-κ / a` is the intercept contribution to the stationary process mean. It is not `κ`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. Lasting asymptotic intercept change via that map requires `a < 0`. Page 16 notes that a `T0MEANS` stationarity constraint includes time-independent predictors; that composition is not this intercept-only map. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion mean `-κ / a + −B z / a` is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` is not `τ + λ μ_0`, not `τ + λ(−κ / a)` when `B z ≠ 0`, not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `MANIFESTMEANS`, and not the constrained latent mean. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, not later-occasion variance, not `e^{a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. A zero-diffusion carry with `a ≥ 0` is `e^{a Δt} p_0` and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined lagged latent covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. ## Authoritative sources @@ -76,7 +78,7 @@ Kish, L. (1965). *Survey sampling*. John Wiley & Sons. Oud, J. H. L., & Jansen, R.

Equation 4 (p. 5) writes that the integral exhibits covariance \(Q_{\Delta t}=\operatorname{irow}(A^{\#^{-1}}[e^{A^{\#}\Delta t}-I]\operatorname{row}(Q))\) with \(A^{\#}=A\otimes I+I\otimes A\). The homogeneous-process consequence (`ξ`, `z` given) is \(Q_{\Delta t}=\operatorname{cov}(\eta_{ti}\mid\eta_{t-1,i})\) and \(\operatorname{cov}(\eta_{ti},\eta_{t-1,i})=A_{\Delta t}\operatorname{cov}(\eta_{t-1,i})\). The law of total variance on that pair is \(\operatorname{Var}(\eta_{ti})=A_{\Delta t}\operatorname{Var}(\eta_{t-1,i})A_{\Delta t}^{\top}+Q_{\Delta t}\). As \(\Delta t\to\infty\) with stable \(a<0\), Eq. 4 becomes \(-q/(2a)\). The JSS summary names that limit `asymDIFFUSION` and takes it as the total within-subject variance (p. 16). Section 4.3 (pp. 9–10) constrains a stationary `T0VAR` to that model-predicted variance and distinguishes it from a predetermined first occasion. The later-occasion variance of that predetermined first occasion is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T20:20Z). The same section (p. 9) adds a stable trait process with `DRIFT` and `DIFFUSION` fixed to zero; `TRAITVAR` is that time-invariant between-subject variance. Table 3 (p. 13) names `T0TIPREDEFFECT` the effect of time-independent predictors on latents at `T0` and names `TIPREDEFFECT` `B` separately. The JSS article has no numbered §2.2 (2.1 is Continuous time and SEM; §3 follows). This slice takes scalar \(L=1\) (every latent subject to system noise); it does not implement the 0/1 selector matrix and is not a Kalman filter. Discrete auto-effects are strictly positive for finite real drift and interval; the inverse \(a=\ln\varphi/\Delta t\) therefore requires \(\varphi>0\). Binary64 `exp` of a large negative argument is `+0` and is refused as a discrete lag; the same underflow is a vanishing lagged covariance and is kept. When `exp` of a finite `a Δt` overflows on the Table 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` / `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0`, rewrite as `sign(shift) exp(ln|shift| + a Δt)`; an overflowing `a Δt` product fails closed. Integration tests execute those overflow-rewrite arms on the non-`cfg(test)` instantiation (nightly branch coverage on #49 head `d634f58` was 1718/1720 at those two `if !drift_interval.is_finite()` sites).

Equation 4 (p. 5) writes that the integral exhibits covariance \(Q_{\Delta t}=\operatorname{irow}(A^{\#^{-1}}[e^{A^{\#}\Delta t}-I]\operatorname{row}(Q))\) with \(A^{\#}=A\otimes I+I\otimes A\). The homogeneous-process consequence (`ξ`, `z` given) is \(Q_{\Delta t}=\operatorname{cov}(\eta_{ti}\mid\eta_{t-1,i})\) and \(\operatorname{cov}(\eta_{ti},\eta_{t-1,i})=A_{\Delta t}\operatorname{cov}(\eta_{t-1,i})\). The law of total variance on that pair is \(\operatorname{Var}(\eta_{ti})=A_{\Delta t}\operatorname{Var}(\eta_{t-1,i})A_{\Delta t}^{\top}+Q_{\Delta t}\). As \(\Delta t\to\infty\) with stable \(a<0\), Eq. 4 becomes \(-q/(2a)\). The JSS summary names that limit `asymDIFFUSION` and takes it as the total within-subject variance (p. 16). Section 4.3 (pp. 9–10) constrains a stationary `T0VAR` to that model-predicted variance and distinguishes it from a predetermined first occasion. The later-occasion variance of that predetermined first occasion is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T20:20Z). The lagged covariance of that predetermined first occasion is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). The same section (p. 9) adds a stable trait process with `DRIFT` and `DIFFUSION` fixed to zero; `TRAITVAR` is that time-invariant between-subject variance. Table 3 (p. 13) names `T0TIPREDEFFECT` the effect of time-independent predictors on latents at `T0` and names `TIPREDEFFECT` `B` separately. The JSS article has no numbered §2.2 (2.1 is Continuous time and SEM; §3 follows). This slice takes scalar \(L=1\) (every latent subject to system noise); it does not implement the 0/1 selector matrix and is not a Kalman filter. Discrete auto-effects are strictly positive for finite real drift and interval; the inverse \(a=\ln\varphi/\Delta t\) therefore requires \(\varphi>0\). Binary64 `exp` of a large negative argument is `+0` and is refused as a discrete lag; the same underflow is a vanishing lagged covariance and is kept. When `exp` of a finite `a Δt` overflows on the Table 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` / `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0`, rewrite as `sign(shift) exp(ln|shift| + a Δt)`; an overflowing `a Δt` product fails closed. Integration tests execute those overflow-rewrite arms on the non-`cfg(test)` instantiation (nightly branch coverage on #49 head `d634f58` was 1718/1720 at those two `if !drift_interval.is_finite()` sites). Equations 3–4 of Voelkle et al. (2012) are the discouraged difference-quotient approximation.

Footnote 4: standardisations use only the relevant variance, not the total. The affecting variance is time-dependent predictor variance `v`. The affected variance is within-subject `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)`, because the process dynamics are individual, or average individual, temporal dynamics. Form strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` first, then strictly positive `v`, then `m · √v / √(-q / (2 a))`. Unstandardised `M` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance; standardised `TDPREDEFFECT` is not. Zero `asymDIFFUSION` or zero `v` has no positive SD and fails closed. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` `B · √v / √p` is a different named matrix even when `M = B` and the predictor variances match. The finite-interval intercept-style standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] M · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not this continuous Dirac coefficient. Section 7.1 warns that omitting trait variance confounds between- and within-person information. `m · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses the total, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd` when `TRAITVAR` is nonzero. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance.

This is two-group OLS, not MGCFA. Meredith (1993) names remain unread labels. -- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean.

Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift.

Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z).

The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Later-start lagged covariance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T10:27Z). First-occasion lagged omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Later-occasion variance does not lag. Stationary lagged uses `−q / (2 a)`. Decaying the later total is not that map. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²` of it plus `ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. First-occasion lagged observed omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Later-start later-occasion variance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 3–4 Chapman–Kolmogorov `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:05Z). Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s`. Later-start lagged covariance omits `Q_s`. Stationary later uses `−q / (2 a)`. Evolving the later total as if it were all state is not that map. Ignoring `startoffset` omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance is `λ²` of it plus `θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that observed variance. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; footnote 4; §7.1; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:40Z). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `discreteDIFFUSIONstd` is `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:06Z). Unstandardised `Q_Δt` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. The continuous standardisation `−2 a` is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `Q_Δt / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DIFFUSIONstd` is `q / (−q / (2 a)) = −2 a` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:20Z). Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` depends on `Δt` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DRIFTstd` is the continuous auto-effect after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 1; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:28Z). Unstandardised `a` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DRIFTstd`. The discrete standardisation `e^{a Δt}` depends on the event interval and is not `DRIFTstd`. `a p / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` is `(-B / a) · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T14:25Z). Unstandardised `-B / a` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `(-B / a) · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T16:21Z). Unstandardised `B` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The asymptotic standardisation `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `B · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 / Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_b · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` `p_0` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; footnote 4; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T17:20Z). The affected variance is free first-occasion `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`. Unstandardised `t0_b` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` is the continuous coefficient and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `t0_b · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `t0_b² v` after a first-occasion time-independent predictor (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; §7.2; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T18:20Z). Form `t0_b` first, then square, then multiply by `v`. A zero coefficient or zero predictor variance is exactly zero. Free `T0TIPREDEFFECT` does not require `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is `addedTIPREDVAR` and is not this first-occasion map. `t0_b · √v / √p_0` is `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` and is not this variance. Free `T0VAR` is not this extra TI variance. `TRAITVAR` is not this extra TI variance. Equation 5 of 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `λ² t0_b² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 3, p. 13; Table 2, p. 12; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T19:10Z). Form `t0_b² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. `t0_b² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² p_0 + θ` is first-occasion observed variance, not this extra. `λ² (B / a)² v` is Eq. 5 of `addedTIPREDVAR`, not this first-occasion observed extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Equation 5 of §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` is `λ² (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12; §7.2, pp. 20–21; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T19:23Z). Form `(B / a)² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. Lasting asymptotic extra requires `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² t0_b² v` is first-occasion extra observed TI variance, not this extra. `λ² p + θ` is stationary observed variance, not this extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. +- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Later-start lagged covariance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T10:27Z). First-occasion lagged omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Later-occasion variance does not lag. Stationary lagged uses `−q / (2 a)`. Decaying the later total is not that map. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²` of it plus `ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. First-occasion lagged observed omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Later-start later-occasion variance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 3–4 Chapman–Kolmogorov `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:05Z). Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s`. Later-start lagged covariance omits `Q_s`. Stationary later uses `−q / (2 a)`. Evolving the later total as if it were all state is not that map. Ignoring `startoffset` omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance is `λ²` of it plus `θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that observed variance. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; footnote 4; §7.1; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:40Z). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `discreteDIFFUSIONstd` is `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:06Z). Unstandardised `Q_Δt` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. The continuous standardisation `−2 a` is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `Q_Δt / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DIFFUSIONstd` is `q / (−q / (2 a)) = −2 a` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:20Z). Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` depends on `Δt` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DRIFTstd` is the continuous auto-effect after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 1; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:28Z). Unstandardised `a` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DRIFTstd`. The discrete standardisation `e^{a Δt}` depends on the event interval and is not `DRIFTstd`. `a p / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` is `(-B / a) · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T14:25Z). Unstandardised `-B / a` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `(-B / a) · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T16:21Z). Unstandardised `B` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The asymptotic standardisation `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `B · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 / Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_b · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` `p_0` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; footnote 4; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T17:20Z). The affected variance is free first-occasion `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`. Unstandardised `t0_b` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` is the continuous coefficient and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `t0_b · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `t0_b² v` after a first-occasion time-independent predictor (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; §7.2; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T18:20Z). Form `t0_b` first, then square, then multiply by `v`. A zero coefficient or zero predictor variance is exactly zero. Free `T0TIPREDEFFECT` does not require `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is `addedTIPREDVAR` and is not this first-occasion map. `t0_b · √v / √p_0` is `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` and is not this variance. Free `T0VAR` is not this extra TI variance. `TRAITVAR` is not this extra TI variance. Equation 5 of 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `λ² t0_b² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 3, p. 13; Table 2, p. 12; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T19:10Z). Form `t0_b² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. `t0_b² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² p_0 + θ` is first-occasion observed variance, not this extra. `λ² (B / a)² v` is Eq. 5 of `addedTIPREDVAR`, not this first-occasion observed extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Equation 5 of §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` is `λ² (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12; §7.2, pp. 20–21; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T19:23Z). Form `(B / a)² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. Lasting asymptotic extra requires `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² t0_b² v` is first-occasion extra observed TI variance, not this extra. `λ² p + θ` is stationary observed variance, not this extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Page 16 `TDPREDEFFECTstd` is `m · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` and strictly positive time-dependent predictor variance. Unstandardised `M` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd` even when `M = B`. intercept-style `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] M · √v / √p` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `m · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model.

The executable temporal slice maps a discrete lag through the exact scalar exponential `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time only (Voelkle, Oud, Davidov, & Schmidt, 2012, Eq. 7; Driver, Oud, & Voelkle, 2017, Eq. 3), recovers the forward map `φ(Δt) = exp(a Δt)`, remaps a discrete lag onto another event interval through that log-rate, recovers the exact scalar discrete effect of a constant predictor (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 12) as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows, and in log space when `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z` (`a_yx = 0` is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed), recovers the first-order discrete effect of a time-varying predictor with matched sampling and constancy intervals as `a_yx Δt` (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 14; ZORA accepted manuscript p. 21; not Eq. 12; unmatched intervals fail closed because Oud & Jansen, 2000, is unread), recovers the exact scalar discrete process noise `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3;

JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-18T18:03Z; JSS has no numbered §2.2; `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})` and is refused as the unconditional variance; a zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` fails closed), recovers the exact scalar stationary within-subject variance `-q / (2 a)` as the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4 for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3 T0VAR stationarity; when `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`; CodeRabbit on `75ecdd3`); when `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`; do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)`, `a = -from_bits(1)` → `0.5`); `a ≥ 0` and finite-interval `Q_Δt` fail closed as that limit), recovers the exact scalar trait-plus-state variance `trait + state` and lagged covariance `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-18T21:07Z; a stable trait has `DRIFT` and `DIFFUSION` fixed to zero; `TRAITVAR` is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`; evolving the summed variance as if it were all state fails the claim boundary;

The first-order product `a_yx Δt` is Eq. 14 and the underflow limit of Eq. 12, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. Already-centered residuals may have irregular event intervals. Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series is not the lagged within-person residual (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608). Metric/weak invariance licenses shared metric meaning only. Latent-mean comparison requires strong (equal loading and intercept) or strict invariance (Putnick & Bornstein, 2016, PMC5145197 opened 2026-08-19T22:15Z: scalar is required for latent means; residual invariance is not). Two-observation series have no residual degrees of freedom and cap at strong/scalar; identically-zero OLS residual variance is not strict. This two-group OLS gate is not MGCFA. +The executable multilevel slice is cluster-mean centering (CWC) plus within/between OLS, the CWC contextual effect (`between − within`), and Kish-weighted slopes. Enders and Tofighi (2007, Table 2, pp. 124–127) show that the CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the contextual effect, not the between-cluster effect. It is not DSEM and not RI-CLPM. The executable temporal slice maps a discrete lag through the exact scalar exponential `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time only (Voelkle, Oud, Davidov, & Schmidt, 2012, Eq. 7; Driver, Oud, & Voelkle, 2017, Eq. 3), recovers the forward map `φ(Δt) = exp(a Δt)`, remaps a discrete lag onto another event interval through that log-rate, recovers the exact scalar discrete effect of a constant predictor (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 12) as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows, and in log space when `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z` (`a_yx = 0` is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed), recovers the first-order discrete effect of a time-varying predictor with matched sampling and constancy intervals as `a_yx Δt` (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 14; ZORA accepted manuscript p. 21; not Eq. 12; unmatched intervals fail closed because Oud & Jansen, 2000, is unread), recovers the exact scalar discrete process noise `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3;

JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-18T18:03Z; JSS has no numbered §2.2; `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})` and is refused as the unconditional variance; a zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` fails closed), recovers the exact scalar stationary within-subject variance `-q / (2 a)` as the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4 for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3 T0VAR stationarity; when `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`; CodeRabbit on `75ecdd3`); when `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`; do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)`, `a = -from_bits(1)` → `0.5`); `a ≥ 0` and finite-interval `Q_Δt` fail closed as that limit), recovers the exact scalar trait-plus-state variance `trait + state` and lagged covariance `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-18T21:07Z; a stable trait has `DRIFT` and `DIFFUSION` fixed to zero; `TRAITVAR` is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`; evolving the summed variance as if it were all state fails the claim boundary;

It is not DSEM, not RI-CLPM, not a random-effects sampler, not a Kalman filter, and not a matrix `expm` implementation. The CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the **contextual** effect, not the between-cluster effect. Discrete lags from different event intervals are not one coefficient. Equation 14 is not Equation 12. Discrete process noise \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the continuous diffusion \(GG^{\top}\). \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is the conditional residual variance, not \(\operatorname{Var}(\eta_{t})\). Finite-interval \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the stationary within-subject variance. Trait variance is not process noise and not the stationary within-subject variance. Measurement-error variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Latent variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Manifest means are not the observed-indicator mean. The latent mean is not the observed-indicator mean. The continuous intercept is not the manifest mean. The first-occasion latent mean is not the evolved latent mean. The continuous intercept is not the discrete mean increment. The first-occasion observed mean is not the evolved observed mean. The contemporaneous `TDPREDEFFECT` impulse is not the continuous intercept, not the time-independent discrete effect, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The time-independent `TIPREDEFFECT` increment is not the continuous intercept, not the contemporaneous impulse, not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14), and not the coefficient `B`. The within-interval `TDPREDEFFECT` carry `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the contemporaneous-impulse observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not the impulse-carry observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` when `u ≠ t`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the impulse-carry observed mean. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the time-independent-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TIPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_b z` is not the Eq. 3 process increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `κ`, and not `M x`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z` and is not that process increment. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TI-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-T0TIPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TDPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `κ`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0` and is not that within-interval impulse carry. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TD-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. Same numbers as `T0TIPREDEFFECT` yield the same product; Table 3 names a different matrix. The evolved-plus-T0TDPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The §7.2 level-change `CINT` `κ = −a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Lasting level change via that `CINT` setting requires `a < 0`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not that `CINT` setting. The Eq. 3 increment of that setting `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps the equilibrium offset `m x`. The §7.2 extra-process contribution `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. Lasting level change via that extra process requires `ε < 0`. Precisely `ε = 0` causes computational problems in the printed specification. The extra-process observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` is not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`, not the contribution, and not the evolved-plus-contribution latent mean. The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. Table 2 `asymCINT` `-κ / a` is the intercept contribution to the stationary process mean. It is not `κ`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. Lasting asymptotic intercept change via that map requires `a < 0`. Page 16 notes that a `T0MEANS` stationarity constraint includes time-independent predictors; that composition is not this intercept-only map. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion mean `-κ / a + −B z / a` is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` is not `τ + λ μ_0`, not `τ + λ(−κ / a)` when `B z ≠ 0`, not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `MANIFESTMEANS`, and not the constrained latent mean. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, not later-occasion variance, not `e^{a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. A zero-diffusion carry with `a ≥ 0` is `e^{a Δt} p_0` and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined lagged latent covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary first-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not free `p_0`, not lagged covariance, and not later-occasion variance. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay and do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary first-occasion map. As `Δt → 0+` the lagged and later maps approach this composition. Trait-only variance does not require a stable drift. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined first-occasion latent variance, not stationary first-occasion observed variance, and not predetermined later observed variance when `p_0` is free. The later-start lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` is not first-occasion lagged covariance when `u > 0`, not later-occasion variance, not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, and not `e^{a s}` of the later total. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a s}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches first-occasion lagged covariance. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start lagged latent covariance, not first-occasion lagged observed covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-start later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` is not later-occasion variance at `u` when `s > 0`, not later-start lagged covariance, not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a s}` of the later total plus `Q_s`, and not later-occasion variance over the lag interval alone when `u > 0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_s`. Chapman–Kolmogorov writes `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance over `s`. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start later-occasion latent variance, not predetermined later observed variance, not later-start lagged observed covariance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (footnote 4: standardise `DRIFT` using only within-subject variance, not the total). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance.

Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a)) = 1 − exp(2 a Δt)` depends on the event interval and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DRIFTstd` is the continuous auto-effect after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (footnote 4: standardise `DRIFT` using only within-subject variance, not the total). Unstandardised `a` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DRIFTstd`. The discrete standardisation `e^{a Δt}` depends on the event interval and is not `DRIFTstd`. `a p / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` is `(-B / a) · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (footnote 4: standardise using only the relevant variance, not the total; the affecting variance is `TIPREDVAR`; the affected variance is `asymDIFFUSION`). Unstandardised `-B / a` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `(-B / a) · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (footnote 4: standardise using only the relevant variance, not the total; the affecting variance is `TIPREDVAR`; the affected variance is `asymDIFFUSION`). Unstandardised `B` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The asymptotic standardisation `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `B · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Table 3 / p. 16 `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_b · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` `p_0` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (footnote 4: standardise using only the relevant variance, not the total; the affecting variance is `TIPREDVAR`; the affected variance is free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`). Unstandardised `t0_b` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` uses `asymDIFFUSION` and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `t0_b · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `t0_b² v` (`T0TIPREDEFFECT %*% TIPREDVAR %*% t(T0TIPREDEFFECT)` immediately after `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`). A zero coefficient or zero predictor variance is exactly zero. Free `T0TIPREDEFFECT` does not require `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is `addedTIPREDVAR` and is not this first-occasion map. `t0_b · √v / √p_0` is `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` and is not this variance. Free `T0VAR` is not this extra TI variance. `TRAITVAR` is not this extra TI variance. Equation 5 of 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `λ² t0_b² v`. Form `t0_b² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. `t0_b² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² p_0 + θ` is first-occasion observed variance, not this extra. `λ² (B / a)² v` is Eq. 5 of `addedTIPREDVAR`, not this first-occasion observed extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Equation 5 of §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` is `λ² (B / a)² v`. Form `(B / a)² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. Lasting asymptotic extra requires `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² t0_b² v` is first-occasion extra observed TI variance, not this extra. `λ² p + θ` is stationary observed variance, not this extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. +This is two-level OLS and a noiseless scalar continuous-time map. It is not DSEM, not RI-CLPM, not a random-effects sampler, not a Kalman filter, and not a matrix `expm` implementation. The CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the **contextual** effect, not the between-cluster effect. Discrete lags from different event intervals are not one coefficient. Equation 14 is not Equation 12. Discrete process noise \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the continuous diffusion \(GG^{\top}\). \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is the conditional residual variance, not \(\operatorname{Var}(\eta_{t})\). Finite-interval \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the stationary within-subject variance. Trait variance is not process noise and not the stationary within-subject variance. Measurement-error variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Latent variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Manifest means are not the observed-indicator mean. The latent mean is not the observed-indicator mean. The continuous intercept is not the manifest mean. The first-occasion latent mean is not the evolved latent mean. The continuous intercept is not the discrete mean increment. The first-occasion observed mean is not the evolved observed mean. The contemporaneous `TDPREDEFFECT` impulse is not the continuous intercept, not the time-independent discrete effect, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The time-independent `TIPREDEFFECT` increment is not the continuous intercept, not the contemporaneous impulse, not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14), and not the coefficient `B`. The within-interval `TDPREDEFFECT` carry `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the contemporaneous-impulse observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not the impulse-carry observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` when `u ≠ t`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the impulse-carry observed mean. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the time-independent-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TIPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_b z` is not the Eq. 3 process increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `κ`, and not `M x`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z` and is not that process increment. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TI-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-T0TIPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TDPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `κ`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0` and is not that within-interval impulse carry. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TD-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. Same numbers as `T0TIPREDEFFECT` yield the same product; Table 3 names a different matrix. The evolved-plus-T0TDPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The §7.2 level-change `CINT` `κ = −a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Lasting level change via that `CINT` setting requires `a < 0`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not that `CINT` setting. The Eq. 3 increment of that setting `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps the equilibrium offset `m x`. The §7.2 extra-process contribution `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. Lasting level change via that extra process requires `ε < 0`. Precisely `ε = 0` causes computational problems in the printed specification. The extra-process observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` is not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`, not the contribution, and not the evolved-plus-contribution latent mean. The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. Table 2 `asymCINT` `-κ / a` is the intercept contribution to the stationary process mean. It is not `κ`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. Lasting asymptotic intercept change via that map requires `a < 0`. Page 16 notes that a `T0MEANS` stationarity constraint includes time-independent predictors; that composition is not this intercept-only map. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion mean `-κ / a + −B z / a` is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` is not `τ + λ μ_0`, not `τ + λ(−κ / a)` when `B z ≠ 0`, not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `MANIFESTMEANS`, and not the constrained latent mean. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, not later-occasion variance, not `e^{a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. A zero-diffusion carry with `a ≥ 0` is `e^{a Δt} p_0` and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined lagged latent covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary first-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not free `p_0`, not lagged covariance, and not later-occasion variance. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay and do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary first-occasion map. As `Δt → 0+` the lagged and later maps approach this composition. Trait-only variance does not require a stable drift. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined first-occasion latent variance, not stationary first-occasion observed variance, and not predetermined later observed variance when `p_0` is free. The later-start lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` is not first-occasion lagged covariance when `u > 0`, not later-occasion variance, not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, and not `e^{a s}` of the later total. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a s}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches first-occasion lagged covariance. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start lagged latent covariance, not first-occasion lagged observed covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-start later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` is not later-occasion variance at `u` when `s > 0`, not later-start lagged covariance, not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a s}` of the later total plus `Q_s`, and not later-occasion variance over the lag interval alone when `u > 0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_s`. Chapman–Kolmogorov writes `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance over `s`. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start later-occasion latent variance, not predetermined later observed variance, not later-start lagged observed covariance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free.

This is two-group OLS, not MGCFA. Meredith (1993) names remain unread labels. -- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Later-start lagged covariance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T10:27Z). First-occasion lagged omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Later-occasion variance does not lag. Stationary lagged uses `−q / (2 a)`. Decaying the later total is not that map. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²` of it plus `ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. First-occasion lagged observed omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Later-start later-occasion variance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 3–4 Chapman–Kolmogorov `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:05Z). Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s`. Later-start lagged covariance omits `Q_s`. Stationary later uses `−q / (2 a)`. Evolving the later total as if it were all state is not that map. Ignoring `startoffset` omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance is `λ²` of it plus `θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that observed variance. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; footnote 4; §7.1; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:40Z). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `discreteDIFFUSIONstd` is `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:06Z). Unstandardised `Q_Δt` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. The continuous standardisation `−2 a` is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `Q_Δt / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DIFFUSIONstd` is `q / (−q / (2 a)) = −2 a` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:20Z). Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` depends on `Δt` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DRIFTstd` is the continuous auto-effect after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 1; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:28Z). Unstandardised `a` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DRIFTstd`. The discrete standardisation `e^{a Δt}` depends on the event interval and is not `DRIFTstd`. `a p / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` is `(-B / a) · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T14:25Z). Unstandardised `-B / a` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `(-B / a) · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T16:21Z). Unstandardised `B` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The asymptotic standardisation `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `B · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 / Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_b · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` `p_0` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; footnote 4; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T17:20Z). The affected variance is free first-occasion `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`. Unstandardised `t0_b` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` is the continuous coefficient and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `t0_b · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `t0_b² v` after a first-occasion time-independent predictor (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; §7.2; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T18:20Z). Form `t0_b` first, then square, then multiply by `v`. A zero coefficient or zero predictor variance is exactly zero. Free `T0TIPREDEFFECT` does not require `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is `addedTIPREDVAR` and is not this first-occasion map. `t0_b · √v / √p_0` is `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` and is not this variance. Free `T0VAR` is not this extra TI variance. `TRAITVAR` is not this extra TI variance. Equation 5 of 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `λ² t0_b² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 3, p. 13; Table 2, p. 12; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T19:10Z). Form `t0_b² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. `t0_b² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² p_0 + θ` is first-occasion observed variance, not this extra. `λ² (B / a)² v` is Eq. 5 of `addedTIPREDVAR`, not this first-occasion observed extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Equation 5 of §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` is `λ² (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12; §7.2, pp. 20–21; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T19:23Z). Form `(B / a)² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. Lasting asymptotic extra requires `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² t0_b² v` is first-occasion extra observed TI variance, not this extra. `λ² p + θ` is stationary observed variance, not this extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. +- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Later-start lagged covariance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T10:27Z). First-occasion lagged omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Later-occasion variance does not lag. Stationary lagged uses `−q / (2 a)`. Decaying the later total is not that map. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²` of it plus `ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. First-occasion lagged observed omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Later-start later-occasion variance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 3–4 Chapman–Kolmogorov `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:05Z). Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s`. Later-start lagged covariance omits `Q_s`. Stationary later uses `−q / (2 a)`. Evolving the later total as if it were all state is not that map. Ignoring `startoffset` omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance is `λ²` of it plus `θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that observed variance. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; footnote 4; §7.1; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:40Z). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `discreteDIFFUSIONstd` is `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:06Z). Unstandardised `Q_Δt` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. The continuous standardisation `−2 a` is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `Q_Δt / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DIFFUSIONstd` is `q / (−q / (2 a)) = −2 a` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:20Z). Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` depends on `Δt` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DRIFTstd` is the continuous auto-effect after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 1; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:28Z). Unstandardised `a` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DRIFTstd`. The discrete standardisation `e^{a Δt}` depends on the event interval and is not `DRIFTstd`. `a p / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` is `(-B / a) · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T14:25Z). Unstandardised `-B / a` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `(-B / a) · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T16:21Z). Unstandardised `B` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The asymptotic standardisation `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `B · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 / Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_b · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` `p_0` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; footnote 4; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T17:20Z). The affected variance is free first-occasion `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`. Unstandardised `t0_b` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` is the continuous coefficient and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `t0_b · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `t0_b² v` after a first-occasion time-independent predictor (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; §7.2; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T18:20Z). Form `t0_b` first, then square, then multiply by `v`. A zero coefficient or zero predictor variance is exactly zero. Free `T0TIPREDEFFECT` does not require `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is `addedTIPREDVAR` and is not this first-occasion map. `t0_b · √v / √p_0` is `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` and is not this variance. Free `T0VAR` is not this extra TI variance. `TRAITVAR` is not this extra TI variance. Equation 5 of 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `λ² t0_b² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 3, p. 13; Table 2, p. 12; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T19:10Z). Form `t0_b² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. `t0_b² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² p_0 + θ` is first-occasion observed variance, not this extra. `λ² (B / a)² v` is Eq. 5 of `addedTIPREDVAR`, not this first-occasion observed extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Equation 5 of §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` is `λ² (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12; §7.2, pp. 20–21; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T19:23Z). Form `(B / a)² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. Lasting asymptotic extra requires `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² t0_b² v` is first-occasion extra observed TI variance, not this extra. `λ² p + θ` is stationary observed variance, not this extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. 2017-era `addedTIPREDVARstd` is `extra / extra = 1` after strictly positive extra (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T21:22Z; OpenMx `%&%` is the quadratic form; form `(B / a)² v` first, then the ratio; zero extra fails closed; the default `ridging = FALSE` does not add `0.0001`; unstandardised `(B / a)² v` is not this correlation; `λ² (B / a)² v` is Eq. 5 of the extra, not this correlation; `t0_b² v` is `addedT0TIPREDVAR`, not this asymptotic extra correlation; `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance; the printed 2-latent `addedTIPREDVAR` 2.838 is not this scalar 1). Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. - Separate cluster means before within-unit lag. CWC plus an event-time lag is not DSEM. Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series does not isolate the lagged within-person effect (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608); already-centered residuals with irregular event intervals use the exact scalar map. - Do not treat the CWC cluster-mean coefficient as the between-cluster effect. It is the contextual effect `between − within` (Enders & Tofighi, 2007, Table 2, pp. 124–127). - Never use future-available evidence in historical model fits. diff --git a/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs b/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs index 7de2251cc..19bd441c2 100644 --- a/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs +++ b/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs @@ -865,6 +865,22 @@ pub enum PsychometricError { /// treated as `MANIFESTVAR` `θ`.

The executable temporal slice maps a discrete lag through the exact scalar exponential `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time only (Voelkle, Oud, Davidov, & Schmidt, 2012, Eq. 7; Driver, Oud, & Voelkle, 2017, Eq. 3), recovers the forward map `φ(Δt) = exp(a Δt)`, remaps a discrete lag onto another event interval through that log-rate, recovers the exact scalar discrete effect of a constant predictor (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 12) as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows, and in log space when `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z` (`a_yx = 0` is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed), recovers the first-order discrete effect of a time-varying predictor with matched sampling and constancy intervals as `a_yx Δt` (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 14; ZORA accepted manuscript p. 21; not Eq. 12; unmatched intervals fail closed because Oud & Jansen, 2000, is unread), recovers the exact scalar discrete process noise `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3;

JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-18T18:03Z; JSS has no numbered §2.2; `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})` and is refused as the unconditional variance; a zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` fails closed), recovers the exact scalar stationary within-subject variance `-q / (2 a)` as the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4 for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3 T0VAR stationarity; when `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`; CodeRabbit on `75ecdd3`); when `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`; do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)`, `a = -from_bits(1)` → `0.5`); `a ≥ 0` and finite-interval `Q_Δt` fail closed as that limit), recovers the exact scalar trait-plus-state variance `trait + state` and lagged covariance `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-18T21:07Z; a stable trait has `DRIFT` and `DIFFUSION` fixed to zero; `TRAITVAR` is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`; evolving the summed variance as if it were all state fails the claim boundary;

The first-order product `a_yx Δt` is Eq. 14 and the underflow limit of Eq. 12, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. Already-centered residuals may have irregular event intervals. Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series is not the lagged within-person residual (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608). Metric/weak invariance licenses shared metric meaning only. Latent-mean comparison requires strong (equal loading and intercept) or strict invariance (Putnick & Bornstein, 2016, PMC5145197 opened 2026-08-19T22:15Z: scalar is required for latent means; residual invariance is not). Two-observation series have no residual degrees of freedom and cap at strong/scalar; identically-zero OLS residual variance is not strict. This two-group OLS gate is not MGCFA. +The executable multilevel slice is cluster-mean centering (CWC) plus within/between OLS, the CWC contextual effect (`between − within`), and Kish-weighted slopes. Enders and Tofighi (2007, Table 2, pp. 124–127) show that the CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the contextual effect, not the between-cluster effect. It is not DSEM and not RI-CLPM. The executable temporal slice maps a discrete lag through the exact scalar exponential `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time only (Voelkle, Oud, Davidov, & Schmidt, 2012, Eq. 7; Driver, Oud, & Voelkle, 2017, Eq. 3), recovers the forward map `φ(Δt) = exp(a Δt)`, remaps a discrete lag onto another event interval through that log-rate, recovers the exact scalar discrete effect of a constant predictor (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 12) as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows, and in log space when `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z` (`a_yx = 0` is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed), recovers the first-order discrete effect of a time-varying predictor with matched sampling and constancy intervals as `a_yx Δt` (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 14; ZORA accepted manuscript p. 21; not Eq. 12; unmatched intervals fail closed because Oud & Jansen, 2000, is unread), recovers the exact scalar discrete process noise `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3;

JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-18T18:03Z; JSS has no numbered §2.2; `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})` and is refused as the unconditional variance; a zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` fails closed), recovers the exact scalar stationary within-subject variance `-q / (2 a)` as the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4 for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3 T0VAR stationarity; when `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`; CodeRabbit on `75ecdd3`); when `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`; do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)`, `a = -from_bits(1)` → `0.5`); `a ≥ 0` and finite-interval `Q_Δt` fail closed as that limit), recovers the exact scalar trait-plus-state variance `trait + state` and lagged covariance `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-18T21:07Z; a stable trait has `DRIFT` and `DIFFUSION` fixed to zero; `TRAITVAR` is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`; evolving the summed variance as if it were all state fails the claim boundary;

It is not DSEM, not RI-CLPM, not a random-effects sampler, not a Kalman filter, and not a matrix `expm` implementation. The CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the **contextual** effect, not the between-cluster effect. Discrete lags from different event intervals are not one coefficient. Equation 14 is not Equation 12. Discrete process noise \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the continuous diffusion \(GG^{\top}\). \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is the conditional residual variance, not \(\operatorname{Var}(\eta_{t})\). Finite-interval \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the stationary within-subject variance. Trait variance is not process noise and not the stationary within-subject variance. Measurement-error variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Latent variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Manifest means are not the observed-indicator mean. The latent mean is not the observed-indicator mean. The continuous intercept is not the manifest mean. The first-occasion latent mean is not the evolved latent mean. The continuous intercept is not the discrete mean increment. The first-occasion observed mean is not the evolved observed mean. The contemporaneous `TDPREDEFFECT` impulse is not the continuous intercept, not the time-independent discrete effect, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The time-independent `TIPREDEFFECT` increment is not the continuous intercept, not the contemporaneous impulse, not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14), and not the coefficient `B`. The within-interval `TDPREDEFFECT` carry `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the contemporaneous-impulse observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not the impulse-carry observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` when `u ≠ t`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the impulse-carry observed mean. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the time-independent-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TIPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_b z` is not the Eq. 3 process increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `κ`, and not `M x`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z` and is not that process increment. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TI-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-T0TIPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TDPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `κ`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0` and is not that within-interval impulse carry. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TD-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. Same numbers as `T0TIPREDEFFECT` yield the same product; Table 3 names a different matrix. The evolved-plus-T0TDPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The §7.2 level-change `CINT` `κ = −a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Lasting level change via that `CINT` setting requires `a < 0`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not that `CINT` setting. The Eq. 3 increment of that setting `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps the equilibrium offset `m x`. The §7.2 extra-process contribution `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. Lasting level change via that extra process requires `ε < 0`. Precisely `ε = 0` causes computational problems in the printed specification. The extra-process observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` is not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`, not the contribution, and not the evolved-plus-contribution latent mean. The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. Table 2 `asymCINT` `-κ / a` is the intercept contribution to the stationary process mean. It is not `κ`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. Lasting asymptotic intercept change via that map requires `a < 0`. Page 16 notes that a `T0MEANS` stationarity constraint includes time-independent predictors; that composition is not this intercept-only map. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion mean `-κ / a + −B z / a` is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` is not `τ + λ μ_0`, not `τ + λ(−κ / a)` when `B z ≠ 0`, not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `MANIFESTMEANS`, and not the constrained latent mean. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, not later-occasion variance, not `e^{a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. A zero-diffusion carry with `a ≥ 0` is `e^{a Δt} p_0` and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined lagged latent covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary first-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not free `p_0`, not lagged covariance, and not later-occasion variance. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay and do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary first-occasion map. As `Δt → 0+` the lagged and later maps approach this composition. Trait-only variance does not require a stable drift. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined first-occasion latent variance, not stationary first-occasion observed variance, and not predetermined later observed variance when `p_0` is free. The later-start lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` is not first-occasion lagged covariance when `u > 0`, not later-occasion variance, not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, and not `e^{a s}` of the later total. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a s}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches first-occasion lagged covariance. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start lagged latent covariance, not first-occasion lagged observed covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-start later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` is not later-occasion variance at `u` when `s > 0`, not later-start lagged covariance, not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a s}` of the later total plus `Q_s`, and not later-occasion variance over the lag interval alone when `u > 0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_s`. Chapman–Kolmogorov writes `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance over `s`. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start later-occasion latent variance, not predetermined later observed variance, not later-start lagged observed covariance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (footnote 4: standardise `DRIFT` using only within-subject variance, not the total). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance.

Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a)) = 1 − exp(2 a Δt)` depends on the event interval and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DRIFTstd` is the continuous auto-effect after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (footnote 4: standardise `DRIFT` using only within-subject variance, not the total). Unstandardised `a` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DRIFTstd`. The discrete standardisation `e^{a Δt}` depends on the event interval and is not `DRIFTstd`. `a p / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` is `(-B / a) · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (footnote 4: standardise using only the relevant variance, not the total; the affecting variance is `TIPREDVAR`; the affected variance is `asymDIFFUSION`). Unstandardised `-B / a` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `(-B / a) · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (footnote 4: standardise using only the relevant variance, not the total; the affecting variance is `TIPREDVAR`; the affected variance is `asymDIFFUSION`). Unstandardised `B` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The asymptotic standardisation `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `B · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Table 3 / p. 16 `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_b · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` `p_0` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (footnote 4: standardise using only the relevant variance, not the total; the affecting variance is `TIPREDVAR`; the affected variance is free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`). Unstandardised `t0_b` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` uses `asymDIFFUSION` and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `t0_b · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `t0_b² v` (`T0TIPREDEFFECT %*% TIPREDVAR %*% t(T0TIPREDEFFECT)` immediately after `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`). A zero coefficient or zero predictor variance is exactly zero. Free `T0TIPREDEFFECT` does not require `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is `addedTIPREDVAR` and is not this first-occasion map. `t0_b · √v / √p_0` is `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` and is not this variance. Free `T0VAR` is not this extra TI variance. `TRAITVAR` is not this extra TI variance. Equation 5 of 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `λ² t0_b² v`. Form `t0_b² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. `t0_b² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² p_0 + θ` is first-occasion observed variance, not this extra. `λ² (B / a)² v` is Eq. 5 of `addedTIPREDVAR`, not this first-occasion observed extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Equation 5 of §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` is `λ² (B / a)² v`. Form `(B / a)² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. Lasting asymptotic extra requires `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² t0_b² v` is first-occasion extra observed TI variance, not this extra. `λ² p + θ` is stationary observed variance, not this extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. +This is two-level OLS and a noiseless scalar continuous-time map. It is not DSEM, not RI-CLPM, not a random-effects sampler, not a Kalman filter, and not a matrix `expm` implementation. The CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the **contextual** effect, not the between-cluster effect. Discrete lags from different event intervals are not one coefficient. Equation 14 is not Equation 12. Discrete process noise \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the continuous diffusion \(GG^{\top}\). \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is the conditional residual variance, not \(\operatorname{Var}(\eta_{t})\). Finite-interval \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the stationary within-subject variance. Trait variance is not process noise and not the stationary within-subject variance. Measurement-error variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Latent variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Manifest means are not the observed-indicator mean. The latent mean is not the observed-indicator mean. The continuous intercept is not the manifest mean. The first-occasion latent mean is not the evolved latent mean. The continuous intercept is not the discrete mean increment. The first-occasion observed mean is not the evolved observed mean. The contemporaneous `TDPREDEFFECT` impulse is not the continuous intercept, not the time-independent discrete effect, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The time-independent `TIPREDEFFECT` increment is not the continuous intercept, not the contemporaneous impulse, not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14), and not the coefficient `B`. The within-interval `TDPREDEFFECT` carry `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the contemporaneous-impulse observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not the impulse-carry observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` when `u ≠ t`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the impulse-carry observed mean. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the time-independent-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TIPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_b z` is not the Eq. 3 process increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `κ`, and not `M x`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z` and is not that process increment. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TI-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-T0TIPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TDPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `κ`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0` and is not that within-interval impulse carry. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TD-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. Same numbers as `T0TIPREDEFFECT` yield the same product; Table 3 names a different matrix. The evolved-plus-T0TDPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The §7.2 level-change `CINT` `κ = −a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Lasting level change via that `CINT` setting requires `a < 0`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not that `CINT` setting. The Eq. 3 increment of that setting `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps the equilibrium offset `m x`. The §7.2 extra-process contribution `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. Lasting level change via that extra process requires `ε < 0`. Precisely `ε = 0` causes computational problems in the printed specification. The extra-process observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` is not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`, not the contribution, and not the evolved-plus-contribution latent mean. The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. Table 2 `asymCINT` `-κ / a` is the intercept contribution to the stationary process mean. It is not `κ`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. Lasting asymptotic intercept change via that map requires `a < 0`. Page 16 notes that a `T0MEANS` stationarity constraint includes time-independent predictors; that composition is not this intercept-only map. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion mean `-κ / a + −B z / a` is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` is not `τ + λ μ_0`, not `τ + λ(−κ / a)` when `B z ≠ 0`, not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `MANIFESTMEANS`, and not the constrained latent mean. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, not later-occasion variance, not `e^{a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. A zero-diffusion carry with `a ≥ 0` is `e^{a Δt} p_0` and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined lagged latent covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary first-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not free `p_0`, not lagged covariance, and not later-occasion variance. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay and do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary first-occasion map. As `Δt → 0+` the lagged and later maps approach this composition. Trait-only variance does not require a stable drift. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined first-occasion latent variance, not stationary first-occasion observed variance, and not predetermined later observed variance when `p_0` is free. The later-start lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` is not first-occasion lagged covariance when `u > 0`, not later-occasion variance, not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, and not `e^{a s}` of the later total. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a s}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches first-occasion lagged covariance. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start lagged latent covariance, not first-occasion lagged observed covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-start later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` is not later-occasion variance at `u` when `s > 0`, not later-start lagged covariance, not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a s}` of the later total plus `Q_s`, and not later-occasion variance over the lag interval alone when `u > 0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_s`. Chapman–Kolmogorov writes `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance over `s`. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept.

This is two-group OLS, not MGCFA. Meredith (1993) names remain unread labels. -- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Later-start lagged covariance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T10:27Z). First-occasion lagged omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Later-occasion variance does not lag. Stationary lagged uses `−q / (2 a)`. Decaying the later total is not that map. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²` of it plus `ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. First-occasion lagged observed omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Later-start later-occasion variance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 3–4 Chapman–Kolmogorov `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:05Z). Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s`. Later-start lagged covariance omits `Q_s`. Stationary later uses `−q / (2 a)`. Evolving the later total as if it were all state is not that map. Ignoring `startoffset` omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance is `λ²` of it plus `θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that observed variance. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; footnote 4; §7.1; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:40Z). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `discreteDIFFUSIONstd` is `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:06Z). Unstandardised `Q_Δt` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. The continuous standardisation `−2 a` is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `Q_Δt / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DIFFUSIONstd` is `q / (−q / (2 a)) = −2 a` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:20Z). Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` depends on `Δt` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DRIFTstd` is the continuous auto-effect after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 1; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:28Z). Unstandardised `a` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DRIFTstd`. The discrete standardisation `e^{a Δt}` depends on the event interval and is not `DRIFTstd`. `a p / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` is `(-B / a) · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T14:25Z). Unstandardised `-B / a` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `(-B / a) · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T16:21Z). Unstandardised `B` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The asymptotic standardisation `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `B · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 / Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_b · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` `p_0` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; footnote 4; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T17:20Z). The affected variance is free first-occasion `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`. Unstandardised `t0_b` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` is the continuous coefficient and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `t0_b · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `t0_b² v` after a first-occasion time-independent predictor (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; §7.2; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T18:20Z). Form `t0_b` first, then square, then multiply by `v`. A zero coefficient or zero predictor variance is exactly zero. Free `T0TIPREDEFFECT` does not require `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is `addedTIPREDVAR` and is not this first-occasion map. `t0_b · √v / √p_0` is `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` and is not this variance. Free `T0VAR` is not this extra TI variance. `TRAITVAR` is not this extra TI variance. Equation 5 of 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `λ² t0_b² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 3, p. 13; Table 2, p. 12; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T19:10Z). Form `t0_b² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. `t0_b² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² p_0 + θ` is first-occasion observed variance, not this extra. `λ² (B / a)² v` is Eq. 5 of `addedTIPREDVAR`, not this first-occasion observed extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Equation 5 of §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` is `λ² (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12; §7.2, pp. 20–21; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T19:23Z). Form `(B / a)² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. Lasting asymptotic extra requires `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² t0_b² v` is first-occasion extra observed TI variance, not this extra. `λ² p + θ` is stationary observed variance, not this extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Page 16 `TDPREDEFFECTstd` is `m · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` and strictly positive time-dependent predictor variance. Unstandardised `M` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd` even when `M = B`. intercept-style `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] M · √v / √p` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `m · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. +- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Later-start lagged covariance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T10:27Z). First-occasion lagged omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Later-occasion variance does not lag. Stationary lagged uses `−q / (2 a)`. Decaying the later total is not that map. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²` of it plus `ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. First-occasion lagged observed omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Later-start later-occasion variance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 3–4 Chapman–Kolmogorov `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:05Z). Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s`. Later-start lagged covariance omits `Q_s`. Stationary later uses `−q / (2 a)`. Evolving the later total as if it were all state is not that map. Ignoring `startoffset` omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance is `λ²` of it plus `θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that observed variance. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; footnote 4; §7.1; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:40Z). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `discreteDIFFUSIONstd` is `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:06Z). Unstandardised `Q_Δt` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. The continuous standardisation `−2 a` is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `Q_Δt / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DIFFUSIONstd` is `q / (−q / (2 a)) = −2 a` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:20Z). Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` depends on `Δt` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DRIFTstd` is the continuous auto-effect after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 1; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:28Z). Unstandardised `a` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DRIFTstd`. The discrete standardisation `e^{a Δt}` depends on the event interval and is not `DRIFTstd`. `a p / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` is `(-B / a) · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T14:25Z). Unstandardised `-B / a` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `(-B / a) · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T16:21Z). Unstandardised `B` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The asymptotic standardisation `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `B · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 / Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_b · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` `p_0` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; footnote 4; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T17:20Z). The affected variance is free first-occasion `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`. Unstandardised `t0_b` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` is the continuous coefficient and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `t0_b · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `t0_b² v` after a first-occasion time-independent predictor (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; §7.2; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T18:20Z). Form `t0_b` first, then square, then multiply by `v`. A zero coefficient or zero predictor variance is exactly zero. Free `T0TIPREDEFFECT` does not require `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is `addedTIPREDVAR` and is not this first-occasion map. `t0_b · √v / √p_0` is `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` and is not this variance. Free `T0VAR` is not this extra TI variance. `TRAITVAR` is not this extra TI variance. Equation 5 of 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `λ² t0_b² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 3, p. 13; Table 2, p. 12; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T19:10Z). Form `t0_b² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. `t0_b² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² p_0 + θ` is first-occasion observed variance, not this extra. `λ² (B / a)² v` is Eq. 5 of `addedTIPREDVAR`, not this first-occasion observed extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Equation 5 of §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` is `λ² (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12; §7.2, pp. 20–21; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T19:23Z). Form `(B / a)² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. Lasting asymptotic extra requires `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² t0_b² v` is first-occasion extra observed TI variance, not this extra. `λ² p + θ` is stationary observed variance, not this extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Page 16 `TDPREDEFFECTstd` is `m · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` and strictly positive time-dependent predictor variance. Unstandardised `M` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd` even when `M = B`. intercept-style `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] M · √v / √p` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `m · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. Table 3 / p. 16 `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_m · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` and strictly positive TD predictor variance. Unstandardised `t0_m` is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `TDPREDEFFECTstd` uses `asymDIFFUSION` and is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd` even when `t0_m = t0_b`. `t0_m · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. Free `T0VAR` does not require `a < 0`. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. - Separate cluster means before within-unit lag. CWC plus an event-time lag is not DSEM. Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series does not isolate the lagged within-person effect (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608); already-centered residuals with irregular event intervals use the exact scalar map. - Do not treat the CWC cluster-mean coefficient as the between-cluster effect. It is the contextual effect `between − within` (Enders & Tofighi, 2007, Table 2, pp. 124–127). - Never use future-available evidence in historical model fits. diff --git a/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs b/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs index ef6850b00..031157712 100644 --- a/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs +++ b/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs @@ -897,6 +897,37 @@ pub enum PsychometricError { /// `TDPREDEFFECTstd`.

Enders and Tofighi (2007, Table 2, pp. 124–127) show that the CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the contextual effect, not the between-cluster effect. It is not DSEM and not RI-CLPM. The executable temporal slice maps a discrete lag through the exact scalar exponential `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time only (Voelkle, Oud, Davidov, & Schmidt, 2012, Eq. 7; Driver, Oud, & Voelkle, 2017, Eq. 3), recovers the forward map `φ(Δt) = exp(a Δt)`, remaps a discrete lag onto another event interval through that log-rate, recovers the exact scalar discrete effect of a constant predictor (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 12) as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows, and in log space when `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z` (`a_yx = 0` is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed), recovers the first-order discrete effect of a time-varying predictor with matched sampling and constancy intervals as `a_yx Δt` (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 14;

The first-order product `a_yx Δt` is Eq. 14 and the underflow limit of Eq. 12, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. Already-centered residuals may have irregular event intervals. Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series is not the lagged within-person residual (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608). Metric/weak invariance licenses shared metric meaning only. Latent-mean comparison requires strong (equal loading and intercept) or strict invariance (Putnick & Bornstein, 2016, PMC5145197 opened 2026-08-19T22:15Z: scalar is required for latent means; residual invariance is not). Two-observation series have no residual degrees of freedom and cap at strong/scalar; identically-zero OLS residual variance is not strict. This two-group OLS gate is not MGCFA. +The executable multilevel slice is cluster-mean centering (CWC) plus within/between OLS, the CWC contextual effect (`between − within`), and Kish-weighted slopes. Enders and Tofighi (2007, Table 2, pp. 124–127) show that the CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the contextual effect, not the between-cluster effect. It is not DSEM and not RI-CLPM. The executable temporal slice maps a discrete lag through the exact scalar exponential `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time only (Voelkle, Oud, Davidov, & Schmidt, 2012, Eq. 7; Driver, Oud, & Voelkle, 2017, Eq. 3), recovers the forward map `φ(Δt) = exp(a Δt)`, remaps a discrete lag onto another event interval through that log-rate, recovers the exact scalar discrete effect of a constant predictor (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 12) as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows, and in log space when `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z` (`a_yx = 0` is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed), recovers the first-order discrete effect of a time-varying predictor with matched sampling and constancy intervals as `a_yx Δt` (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 14; ZORA accepted manuscript p. 21; not Eq. 12; unmatched intervals fail closed because Oud & Jansen, 2000, is unread), recovers the exact scalar discrete process noise `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3;

§4.3 T0VAR stationarity; when `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`; CodeRabbit on `75ecdd3`); when `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`; do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)`, `a = -from_bits(1)` → `0.5`); `a ≥ 0` and finite-interval `Q_Δt` fail closed as that limit), recovers the exact scalar trait-plus-state variance `trait + state` and lagged covariance `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9;

It is not DSEM, not RI-CLPM, not a random-effects sampler, not a Kalman filter, and not a matrix `expm` implementation. The CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the **contextual** effect, not the between-cluster effect. Discrete lags from different event intervals are not one coefficient. Equation 14 is not Equation 12. Discrete process noise \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the continuous diffusion \(GG^{\top}\). \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is the conditional residual variance, not \(\operatorname{Var}(\eta_{t})\). Finite-interval \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the stationary within-subject variance. Trait variance is not process noise and not the stationary within-subject variance. Measurement-error variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Latent variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Manifest means are not the observed-indicator mean. The latent mean is not the observed-indicator mean. The continuous intercept is not the manifest mean. The first-occasion latent mean is not the evolved latent mean. The continuous intercept is not the discrete mean increment. The first-occasion observed mean is not the evolved observed mean. The contemporaneous `TDPREDEFFECT` impulse is not the continuous intercept, not the time-independent discrete effect, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The time-independent `TIPREDEFFECT` increment is not the continuous intercept, not the contemporaneous impulse, not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14), and not the coefficient `B`. The within-interval `TDPREDEFFECT` carry `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the contemporaneous-impulse observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not the impulse-carry observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` when `u ≠ t`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the impulse-carry observed mean. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the time-independent-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TIPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_b z` is not the Eq. 3 process increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `κ`, and not `M x`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z` and is not that process increment. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TI-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-T0TIPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TDPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `κ`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0` and is not that within-interval impulse carry. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TD-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. Same numbers as `T0TIPREDEFFECT` yield the same product; Table 3 names a different matrix. The evolved-plus-T0TDPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The §7.2 level-change `CINT` `κ = −a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Lasting level change via that `CINT` setting requires `a < 0`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not that `CINT` setting. The Eq. 3 increment of that setting `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps the equilibrium offset `m x`. The §7.2 extra-process contribution `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. Lasting level change via that extra process requires `ε < 0`. Precisely `ε = 0` causes computational problems in the printed specification. The extra-process observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` is not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`, not the contribution, and not the evolved-plus-contribution latent mean. The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. Table 2 `asymCINT` `-κ / a` is the intercept contribution to the stationary process mean. It is not `κ`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. Lasting asymptotic intercept change via that map requires `a < 0`. Page 16 notes that a `T0MEANS` stationarity constraint includes time-independent predictors; that composition is not this intercept-only map. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion mean `-κ / a + −B z / a` is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` is not `τ + λ μ_0`, not `τ + λ(−κ / a)` when `B z ≠ 0`, not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `MANIFESTMEANS`, and not the constrained latent mean. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, not later-occasion variance, not `e^{a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. A zero-diffusion carry with `a ≥ 0` is `e^{a Δt} p_0` and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined lagged latent covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary first-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not free `p_0`, not lagged covariance, and not later-occasion variance. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay and do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary first-occasion map. As `Δt → 0+` the lagged and later maps approach this composition. Trait-only variance does not require a stable drift. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined first-occasion latent variance, not stationary first-occasion observed variance, and not predetermined later observed variance when `p_0` is free. The later-start lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` is not first-occasion lagged covariance when `u > 0`, not later-occasion variance, not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, and not `e^{a s}` of the later total. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a s}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches first-occasion lagged covariance. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start lagged latent covariance, not first-occasion lagged observed covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-start later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` is not later-occasion variance at `u` when `s > 0`, not later-start lagged covariance, not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a s}` of the later total plus `Q_s`, and not later-occasion variance over the lag interval alone when `u > 0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_s`. Chapman–Kolmogorov writes `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance over `s`. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start later-occasion latent variance, not predetermined later observed variance, not later-start lagged observed covariance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (footnote 4: standardise `DRIFT` using only within-subject variance, not the total). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance.

Unstandardised `-B / a` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `(-B / a) · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance.

The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `B · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Table 3 / p. 16 `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_b · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` `p_0` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (footnote 4: standardise using only the relevant variance, not the total; the affecting variance is `TIPREDVAR`; the affected variance is free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`). Unstandardised `t0_b` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` uses `asymDIFFUSION` and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `t0_b · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `t0_b² v` (`T0TIPREDEFFECT %*% TIPREDVAR %*% t(T0TIPREDEFFECT)` immediately after `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`). A zero coefficient or zero predictor variance is exactly zero. Free `T0TIPREDEFFECT` does not require `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is `addedTIPREDVAR` and is not this first-occasion map. `t0_b · √v / √p_0` is `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` and is not this variance. Free `T0VAR` is not this extra TI variance. `TRAITVAR` is not this extra TI variance. Equation 5 of 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `λ² t0_b² v`. Form `t0_b² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. `t0_b² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² p_0 + θ` is first-occasion observed variance, not this extra. `λ² (B / a)² v` is Eq. 5 of `addedTIPREDVAR`, not this first-occasion observed extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Equation 5 of §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` is `λ² (B / a)² v`. Form `(B / a)² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. Lasting asymptotic extra requires `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² t0_b² v` is first-occasion extra observed TI variance, not this extra. `λ² p + θ` is stationary observed variance, not this extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra.

Unstandardised `M` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` `B · √v / √p` is a different named matrix even when `M = B`. The finite-interval intercept-style standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] M · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `m · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. +This is two-level OLS and a noiseless scalar continuous-time map. It is not DSEM, not RI-CLPM, not a random-effects sampler, not a Kalman filter, and not a matrix `expm` implementation. The CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the **contextual** effect, not the between-cluster effect. Discrete lags from different event intervals are not one coefficient. Equation 14 is not Equation 12. Discrete process noise \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the continuous diffusion \(GG^{\top}\). \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is the conditional residual variance, not \(\operatorname{Var}(\eta_{t})\). Finite-interval \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the stationary within-subject variance. Trait variance is not process noise and not the stationary within-subject variance. Measurement-error variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Latent variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Manifest means are not the observed-indicator mean. The latent mean is not the observed-indicator mean. The continuous intercept is not the manifest mean. The first-occasion latent mean is not the evolved latent mean. The continuous intercept is not the discrete mean increment. The first-occasion observed mean is not the evolved observed mean. The contemporaneous `TDPREDEFFECT` impulse is not the continuous intercept, not the time-independent discrete effect, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The time-independent `TIPREDEFFECT` increment is not the continuous intercept, not the contemporaneous impulse, not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14), and not the coefficient `B`. The within-interval `TDPREDEFFECT` carry `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the contemporaneous-impulse observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`.

The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the time-independent-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TIPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_b z` is not the Eq. 3 process increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `κ`, and not `M x`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z` and is not that process increment. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TI-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-T0TIPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TDPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `κ`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0` and is not that within-interval impulse carry. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TD-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. Same numbers as `T0TIPREDEFFECT` yield the same product; Table 3 names a different matrix. The evolved-plus-T0TDPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The §7.2 level-change `CINT` `κ = −a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Lasting level change via that `CINT` setting requires `a < 0`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not that `CINT` setting. The Eq. 3 increment of that setting `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps the equilibrium offset `m x`. The §7.2 extra-process contribution `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. Lasting level change via that extra process requires `ε < 0`. Precisely `ε = 0` causes computational problems in the printed specification. The extra-process observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` is not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`, not the contribution, and not the evolved-plus-contribution latent mean. The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. Table 2 `asymCINT` `-κ / a` is the intercept contribution to the stationary process mean. It is not `κ`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. Lasting asymptotic intercept change via that map requires `a < 0`. Page 16 notes that a `T0MEANS` stationarity constraint includes time-independent predictors; that composition is not this intercept-only map. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion mean `-κ / a + −B z / a` is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` is not `τ + λ μ_0`, not `τ + λ(−κ / a)` when `B z ≠ 0`, not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `MANIFESTMEANS`, and not the constrained latent mean. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, not later-occasion variance, not `e^{a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. A zero-diffusion carry with `a ≥ 0` is `e^{a Δt} p_0` and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined lagged latent covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary first-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not free `p_0`, not lagged covariance, and not later-occasion variance. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay and do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary first-occasion map. As `Δt → 0+` the lagged and later maps approach this composition. Trait-only variance does not require a stable drift. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined first-occasion latent variance, not stationary first-occasion observed variance, and not predetermined later observed variance when `p_0` is free. The later-start lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` is not first-occasion lagged covariance when `u > 0`, not later-occasion variance, not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, and not `e^{a s}` of the later total. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a s}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches first-occasion lagged covariance. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start lagged latent covariance, not first-occasion lagged observed covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-start later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` is not later-occasion variance at `u` when `s > 0`, not later-start lagged covariance, not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a s}` of the later total plus `Q_s`, and not later-occasion variance over the lag interval alone when `u > 0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_s`. Chapman–Kolmogorov writes `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance over `s`. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start later-occasion latent variance, not predetermined later observed variance, not later-start lagged observed covariance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free.

The 2017-era `summary.ctsemFit.R` forms the latent extra `addedTIPREDVAR` as `asymTIPREDEFFECT %*% TIPREDVAR %*% t(asymTIPREDEFFECT)`. The scalar latent extra is `(B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that extra, with `θ = 0` and `ψ = 0`, is `λ² (B / a)² v`. Form `addedTIPREDVAR` first, then `(λ extra) λ`. Do not form `λ²` first. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. `v < 0` fails closed. A non-event clock fails closed. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change when the extra is nonzero and fails closed. `(B / a)² v` is the latent extra, not this observed extra. `λ² t0_b² v` is Eq. 5 of `addedT0TIPREDVAR`, not this asymptotic observed extra. `λ² p + θ` is stationary observed variance, not this extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is measurement error, not this extra. `Ψ` is intercept variance and is not extra TI. The printed 2-latent `addedTIPREDVAR` 2.838 is not this scalar map. Still not a Kalman filter, not a matrix `expm`, not ESEM estimation, not DSEM, and not ctsem estimation.

This is two-group OLS, not MGCFA. Meredith (1993) names remain unread labels. -- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Later-start lagged covariance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T10:27Z). First-occasion lagged omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Later-occasion variance does not lag. Stationary lagged uses `−q / (2 a)`. Decaying the later total is not that map. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²` of it plus `ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. First-occasion lagged observed omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Later-start later-occasion variance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 3–4 Chapman–Kolmogorov `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:05Z). Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s`. Later-start lagged covariance omits `Q_s`. Stationary later uses `−q / (2 a)`. Evolving the later total as if it were all state is not that map. Ignoring `startoffset` omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance is `λ²` of it plus `θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that observed variance. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; footnote 4; §7.1; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:40Z). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `discreteDIFFUSIONstd` is `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:06Z). Unstandardised `Q_Δt` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. The continuous standardisation `−2 a` is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `Q_Δt / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DIFFUSIONstd` is `q / (−q / (2 a)) = −2 a` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:20Z). Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` depends on `Δt` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DRIFTstd` is the continuous auto-effect after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 1; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:28Z). Unstandardised `a` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DRIFTstd`. The discrete standardisation `e^{a Δt}` depends on the event interval and is not `DRIFTstd`. `a p / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` is `(-B / a) · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T14:25Z). Unstandardised `-B / a` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `(-B / a) · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T16:21Z). Unstandardised `B` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The asymptotic standardisation `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `B · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 / Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_b · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` `p_0` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; footnote 4; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T17:20Z). The affected variance is free first-occasion `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`. Unstandardised `t0_b` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` is the continuous coefficient and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `t0_b · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `t0_b² v` after a first-occasion time-independent predictor (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; §7.2; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T18:20Z). Form `t0_b` first, then square, then multiply by `v`. A zero coefficient or zero predictor variance is exactly zero. Free `T0TIPREDEFFECT` does not require `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is `addedTIPREDVAR` and is not this first-occasion map. `t0_b · √v / √p_0` is `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` and is not this variance. Free `T0VAR` is not this extra TI variance. `TRAITVAR` is not this extra TI variance. Equation 5 of 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `λ² t0_b² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 3, p. 13; Table 2, p. 12; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T19:10Z). Form `t0_b² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. `t0_b² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² p_0 + θ` is first-occasion observed variance, not this extra. `λ² (B / a)² v` is Eq. 5 of `addedTIPREDVAR`, not this first-occasion observed extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Equation 5 of §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` is `λ² (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12; §7.2, pp. 20–21; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T19:23Z). Form `(B / a)² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. Lasting asymptotic extra requires `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² t0_b² v` is first-occasion extra observed TI variance, not this extra. `λ² p + θ` is stationary observed variance, not this extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Page 16 `TDPREDEFFECTstd` is `m · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` and strictly positive time-dependent predictor variance. Unstandardised `M` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd` even when `M = B`. intercept-style `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] M · √v / √p` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `m · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. Table 3 / p. 16 `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_m · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` and strictly positive TD predictor variance. Unstandardised `t0_m` is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `TDPREDEFFECTstd` uses `asymDIFFUSION` and is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd` even when `t0_m = t0_b`. `t0_m · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. Free `T0VAR` does not require `a < 0`. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. +- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Later-start lagged covariance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T10:27Z). First-occasion lagged omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Later-occasion variance does not lag. Stationary lagged uses `−q / (2 a)`. Decaying the later total is not that map. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²` of it plus `ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. First-occasion lagged observed omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Later-start later-occasion variance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 3–4 Chapman–Kolmogorov `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:05Z). Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s`. Later-start lagged covariance omits `Q_s`. Stationary later uses `−q / (2 a)`. Evolving the later total as if it were all state is not that map. Ignoring `startoffset` omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance is `λ²` of it plus `θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that observed variance. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; footnote 4; §7.1; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:40Z). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `discreteDIFFUSIONstd` is `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:06Z). Unstandardised `Q_Δt` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. The continuous standardisation `−2 a` is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `Q_Δt / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DIFFUSIONstd` is `q / (−q / (2 a)) = −2 a` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:20Z). Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` depends on `Δt` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DRIFTstd` is the continuous auto-effect after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 1; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:28Z). Unstandardised `a` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DRIFTstd`. The discrete standardisation `e^{a Δt}` depends on the event interval and is not `DRIFTstd`. `a p / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` is `(-B / a) · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T14:25Z). Unstandardised `-B / a` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `(-B / a) · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T16:21Z). Unstandardised `B` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The asymptotic standardisation `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `B · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 / Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_b · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` `p_0` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; footnote 4; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T17:20Z). The affected variance is free first-occasion `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`. Unstandardised `t0_b` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` is the continuous coefficient and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `t0_b · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `t0_b² v` after a first-occasion time-independent predictor (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; §7.2; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T18:20Z). Form `t0_b` first, then square, then multiply by `v`. A zero coefficient or zero predictor variance is exactly zero. Free `T0TIPREDEFFECT` does not require `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is `addedTIPREDVAR` and is not this first-occasion map. `t0_b · √v / √p_0` is `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` and is not this variance. Free `T0VAR` is not this extra TI variance. `TRAITVAR` is not this extra TI variance. Equation 5 of 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `λ² t0_b² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 3, p. 13; Table 2, p. 12; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T19:10Z). Form `t0_b² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. `t0_b² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² p_0 + θ` is first-occasion observed variance, not this extra. `λ² (B / a)² v` is Eq. 5 of `addedTIPREDVAR`, not this first-occasion observed extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Equation 5 of §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` is `λ² (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12; §7.2, pp. 20–21; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T19:23Z). Form `(B / a)² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. Lasting asymptotic extra requires `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² t0_b² v` is first-occasion extra observed TI variance, not this extra. `λ² p + θ` is stationary observed variance, not this extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Page 16 `TDPREDEFFECTstd` is `m · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` and strictly positive time-dependent predictor variance. Unstandardised `M` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd` even when `M = B`. intercept-style `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] M · √v / √p` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `m · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. Table 3 / p. 16 `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_m · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` and strictly positive TD predictor variance. Unstandardised `t0_m` is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `TDPREDEFFECTstd` uses `asymDIFFUSION` and is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd` even when `t0_m = t0_b`. `t0_m · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. Free `T0VAR` does not require `a < 0`. Page 16 `T0VARstd` is `p_0 / p_0 = 1` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` (`solve(sqrt(diag(T0VAR))) %&% T0VAR`; OpenMx `%&%` is `t(A) %*% B %*% A`; the default ridge is 0). Unstandardised `T0VAR` is not `T0VARstd`. `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd` is not `T0VARstd`. `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is not `T0VARstd`. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. - Separate cluster means before within-unit lag. CWC plus an event-time lag is not DSEM. Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series does not isolate the lagged within-person effect (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608); already-centered residuals with irregular event intervals use the exact scalar map. - Do not treat the CWC cluster-mean coefficient as the between-cluster effect. It is the contextual effect `between − within` (Enders & Tofighi, 2007, Table 2, pp. 124–127). - Never use future-available evidence in historical model fits. diff --git a/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs b/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs index 031157712..8ec66204d 100644 --- a/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs +++ b/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs @@ -928,6 +928,23 @@ pub enum PsychometricError { /// / p. 16 `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`.

The first-order product `a_yx Δt` is Eq. 14 and the underflow limit of Eq. 12, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. Already-centered residuals may have irregular event intervals. Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series is not the lagged within-person residual (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608). Metric/weak invariance licenses shared metric meaning only. Latent-mean comparison requires strong (equal loading and intercept) or strict invariance (Putnick & Bornstein, 2016, PMC5145197 opened 2026-08-19T22:15Z: scalar is required for latent means; residual invariance is not). Two-observation series have no residual degrees of freedom and cap at strong/scalar; identically-zero OLS residual variance is not strict. This two-group OLS gate is not MGCFA. +The executable multilevel slice is cluster-mean centering (CWC) plus within/between OLS, the CWC contextual effect (`between − within`), and Kish-weighted slopes. Enders and Tofighi (2007, Table 2, pp. 124–127) show that the CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the contextual effect, not the between-cluster effect. It is not DSEM and not RI-CLPM. The executable temporal slice maps a discrete lag through the exact scalar exponential `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time only (Voelkle, Oud, Davidov, & Schmidt, 2012, Eq. 7; Driver, Oud, & Voelkle, 2017, Eq. 3), recovers the forward map `φ(Δt) = exp(a Δt)`, remaps a discrete lag onto another event interval through that log-rate, recovers the exact scalar discrete effect of a constant predictor (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 12) as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows, and in log space when `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z` (`a_yx = 0` is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed), recovers the first-order discrete effect of a time-varying predictor with matched sampling and constancy intervals as `a_yx Δt` (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 14; ZORA accepted manuscript p. 21; not Eq. 12; unmatched intervals fail closed because Oud & Jansen, 2000, is unread), recovers the exact scalar discrete process noise `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3;

The first-order product `a_yx Δt` is Eq. 14 and the underflow limit of Eq. 12, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. Already-centered residuals may have irregular event intervals. Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series is not the lagged within-person residual (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608). Metric/weak invariance licenses shared metric meaning only. Latent-mean comparison requires strong (equal loading and intercept) or strict invariance (Putnick & Bornstein, 2016, PMC5145197 opened 2026-08-19T22:15Z: scalar is required for latent means; residual invariance is not). Two-observation series have no residual degrees of freedom and cap at strong/scalar; identically-zero OLS residual variance is not strict. This two-group OLS gate is not MGCFA. Input/process/intervention/outcome paths obey event-time order. Temporal precedence, document linkage, event tracking, or model prediction alone do not justify causal language. diff --git a/docs/research/multilevel-event-time-recovery.md b/docs/research/multilevel-event-time-recovery.md index b6ff59c74..25749053d 100644 --- a/docs/research/multilevel-event-time-recovery.md +++ b/docs/research/multilevel-event-time-recovery.md @@ -82,15 +82,17 @@ This slice stays inside `psychometric_core`.

It is not DSEM, not RI-CLPM, not a random-effects sampler, not a Kalman filter, and not a matrix `expm` implementation. The CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the **contextual** effect, not the between-cluster effect. Discrete lags from different event intervals are not one coefficient. Equation 14 is not Equation 12. Discrete process noise \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the continuous diffusion \(GG^{\top}\). \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is the conditional residual variance, not \(\operatorname{Var}(\eta_{t})\). Finite-interval \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the stationary within-subject variance. Trait variance is not process noise and not the stationary within-subject variance. Measurement-error variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Latent variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Manifest means are not the observed-indicator mean. The latent mean is not the observed-indicator mean. The continuous intercept is not the manifest mean. The first-occasion latent mean is not the evolved latent mean. The continuous intercept is not the discrete mean increment. The first-occasion observed mean is not the evolved observed mean. The contemporaneous `TDPREDEFFECT` impulse is not the continuous intercept, not the time-independent discrete effect, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The time-independent `TIPREDEFFECT` increment is not the continuous intercept, not the contemporaneous impulse, not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14), and not the coefficient `B`. The within-interval `TDPREDEFFECT` carry `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the contemporaneous-impulse observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not the impulse-carry observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` when `u ≠ t`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the impulse-carry observed mean. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the time-independent-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TIPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_b z` is not the Eq. 3 process increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `κ`, and not `M x`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z` and is not that process increment. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TI-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-T0TIPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TDPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `κ`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0` and is not that within-interval impulse carry. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TD-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. Same numbers as `T0TIPREDEFFECT` yield the same product; Table 3 names a different matrix. The evolved-plus-T0TDPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The §7.2 level-change `CINT` `κ = −a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Lasting level change via that `CINT` setting requires `a < 0`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not that `CINT` setting. The Eq. 3 increment of that setting `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps the equilibrium offset `m x`. The §7.2 extra-process contribution `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. Lasting level change via that extra process requires `ε < 0`. Precisely `ε = 0` causes computational problems in the printed specification. The extra-process observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` is not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`, not the contribution, and not the evolved-plus-contribution latent mean. The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. Table 2 `asymCINT` `-κ / a` is the intercept contribution to the stationary process mean. It is not `κ`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. Lasting asymptotic intercept change via that map requires `a < 0`. Page 16 notes that a `T0MEANS` stationarity constraint includes time-independent predictors; that composition is not this intercept-only map. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion mean `-κ / a + −B z / a` is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` is not `τ + λ μ_0`, not `τ + λ(−κ / a)` when `B z ≠ 0`, not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `MANIFESTMEANS`, and not the constrained latent mean. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, not later-occasion variance, not `e^{a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. A zero-diffusion carry with `a ≥ 0` is `e^{a Δt} p_0` and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined lagged latent covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary first-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not free `p_0`, not lagged covariance, and not later-occasion variance. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay and do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary first-occasion map. As `Δt → 0+` the lagged and later maps approach this composition. Trait-only variance does not require a stable drift. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined first-occasion latent variance, not stationary first-occasion observed variance, and not predetermined later observed variance when `p_0` is free. The later-start lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` is not first-occasion lagged covariance when `u > 0`, not later-occasion variance, not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, and not `e^{a s}` of the later total. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a s}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches first-occasion lagged covariance. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start lagged latent covariance, not first-occasion lagged observed covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-start later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` is not later-occasion variance at `u` when `s > 0`, not later-start lagged covariance, not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a s}` of the later total plus `Q_s`, and not later-occasion variance over the lag interval alone when `u > 0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_s`. Chapman–Kolmogorov writes `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance over `s`. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start later-occasion latent variance, not predetermined later observed variance, not later-start lagged observed covariance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free.

Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a)) = 1 − exp(2 a Δt)` depends on the event interval and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance.

Unstandardised `-B / a` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `(-B / a) · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance.

Table 3 / p. 16 `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_b · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` `p_0` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (footnote 4: standardise using only the relevant variance, not the total; the affecting variance is `TIPREDVAR`; the affected variance is free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`). Unstandardised `t0_b` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` uses `asymDIFFUSION` and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `t0_b · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `t0_b² v` (`T0TIPREDEFFECT %*% TIPREDVAR %*% t(T0TIPREDEFFECT)` immediately after `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`). A zero coefficient or zero predictor variance is exactly zero. Free `T0TIPREDEFFECT` does not require `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is `addedTIPREDVAR` and is not this first-occasion map. `t0_b · √v / √p_0` is `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` and is not this variance. Free `T0VAR` is not this extra TI variance. `TRAITVAR` is not this extra TI variance. Equation 5 of 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `λ² t0_b² v`. Form `t0_b² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. `t0_b² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² p_0 + θ` is first-occasion observed variance, not this extra. `λ² (B / a)² v` is Eq. 5 of `addedTIPREDVAR`, not this first-occasion observed extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Equation 5 of §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` is `λ² (B / a)² v`. Form `(B / a)² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. Lasting asymptotic extra requires `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² t0_b² v` is first-occasion extra observed TI variance, not this extra. `λ² p + θ` is stationary observed variance, not this extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Page 16 `TDPREDEFFECTstd` is `m · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive time-dependent predictor variance `v` (footnote 4: standardise using only the relevant variance, not the total; the affecting variance is the TD predictor; the affected variance is `asymDIFFUSION`). Unstandardised `M` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` `B · √v / √p` is a different named matrix even when `M = B`. The finite-interval intercept-style standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] M · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `m · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Table 3 / p. 16 `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_m · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` `p_0` and strictly positive time-dependent predictor variance `v` (footnote 4: standardise using only the relevant variance, not the total; the affecting variance is the TD predictor, not `TIPREDVAR`; the affected variance is free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`). Unstandardised `t0_m` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `TDPREDEFFECTstd` `m · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` uses `asymDIFFUSION` and is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` `t0_b · √v / √p_0` is a different named matrix even when `t0_m = t0_b`. `t0_m · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Free `T0VAR` does not require `a < 0`. +This is two-level OLS and a noiseless scalar continuous-time map. It is not DSEM, not RI-CLPM, not a random-effects sampler, not a Kalman filter, and not a matrix `expm` implementation. The CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the **contextual** effect, not the between-cluster effect. Discrete lags from different event intervals are not one coefficient. Equation 14 is not Equation 12. Discrete process noise \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the continuous diffusion \(GG^{\top}\). \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is the conditional residual variance, not \(\operatorname{Var}(\eta_{t})\). Finite-interval \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the stationary within-subject variance. Trait variance is not process noise and not the stationary within-subject variance. Measurement-error variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Latent variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Manifest means are not the observed-indicator mean. The latent mean is not the observed-indicator mean. The continuous intercept is not the manifest mean. The first-occasion latent mean is not the evolved latent mean. The continuous intercept is not the discrete mean increment. The first-occasion observed mean is not the evolved observed mean. The contemporaneous `TDPREDEFFECT` impulse is not the continuous intercept, not the time-independent discrete effect, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The time-independent `TIPREDEFFECT` increment is not the continuous intercept, not the contemporaneous impulse, not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14), and not the coefficient `B`. The within-interval `TDPREDEFFECT` carry `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the contemporaneous-impulse observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not the impulse-carry observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` when `u ≠ t`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the impulse-carry observed mean. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the time-independent-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TIPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_b z` is not the Eq. 3 process increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `κ`, and not `M x`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z` and is not that process increment. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TI-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-T0TIPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TDPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `κ`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0` and is not that within-interval impulse carry. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TD-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. Same numbers as `T0TIPREDEFFECT` yield the same product; Table 3 names a different matrix. The evolved-plus-T0TDPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The §7.2 level-change `CINT` `κ = −a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Lasting level change via that `CINT` setting requires `a < 0`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not that `CINT` setting. The Eq. 3 increment of that setting `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps the equilibrium offset `m x`. The §7.2 extra-process contribution `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. Lasting level change via that extra process requires `ε < 0`. Precisely `ε = 0` causes computational problems in the printed specification. The extra-process observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` is not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`, not the contribution, and not the evolved-plus-contribution latent mean. The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. Table 2 `asymCINT` `-κ / a` is the intercept contribution to the stationary process mean. It is not `κ`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. Lasting asymptotic intercept change via that map requires `a < 0`. Page 16 notes that a `T0MEANS` stationarity constraint includes time-independent predictors; that composition is not this intercept-only map. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion mean `-κ / a + −B z / a` is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` is not `τ + λ μ_0`, not `τ + λ(−κ / a)` when `B z ≠ 0`, not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `MANIFESTMEANS`, and not the constrained latent mean. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, not later-occasion variance, not `e^{a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. A zero-diffusion carry with `a ≥ 0` is `e^{a Δt} p_0` and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined lagged latent covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary first-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not free `p_0`, not lagged covariance, and not later-occasion variance. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay and do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary first-occasion map. As `Δt → 0+` the lagged and later maps approach this composition. Trait-only variance does not require a stable drift. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined first-occasion latent variance, not stationary first-occasion observed variance, and not predetermined later observed variance when `p_0` is free. The later-start lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` is not first-occasion lagged covariance when `u > 0`, not later-occasion variance, not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, and not `e^{a s}` of the later total. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a s}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches first-occasion lagged covariance. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start lagged latent covariance, not first-occasion lagged observed covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-start later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` is not later-occasion variance at `u` when `s > 0`, not later-start lagged covariance, not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a s}` of the later total plus `Q_s`, and not later-occasion variance over the lag interval alone when `u > 0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_s`. Chapman–Kolmogorov writes `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance over `s`. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start later-occasion latent variance, not predetermined later observed variance, not later-start lagged observed covariance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free.

A zero coefficient or zero predictor variance is exactly zero. Free `T0TIPREDEFFECT` does not require `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is `addedTIPREDVAR` and is not this first-occasion map. `t0_b · √v / √p_0` is `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` and is not this variance. Free `T0VAR` is not this extra TI variance. `TRAITVAR` is not this extra TI variance. Equation 5 of 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `λ² t0_b² v`. Form `t0_b² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. `t0_b² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² p_0 + θ` is first-occasion observed variance, not this extra. `λ² (B / a)² v` is Eq. 5 of `addedTIPREDVAR`, not this first-occasion observed extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Equation 5 of §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` is `λ² (B / a)² v`. Form `(B / a)² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero.

Driver, Oud, and Voelkle (2017, Eq. 3 and p. 4; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z from https://www.jstatsoft.org/index.php/jss/article/download/v077i05/1104) write \(A_{\Delta t}=\operatorname{expm}(A\Delta t)\), the discrete intercept \(b_{\Delta t}=A^{-1}[A_{\Delta t}-I]b\), and the discrete process-noise covariance \(Q_{\Delta t}=\int_{0}^{\Delta t}\operatorname{expm}(A(\Delta t-\tau))LGG^{\top}L^{\top}\operatorname{expm}(A(\Delta t-\tau))^{\top}\,d\tau\). Equation 4 (p. 5) writes that the integral exhibits covariance \(Q_{\Delta t}=\operatorname{irow}(A^{\#^{-1}}[e^{A^{\#}\Delta t}-I]\operatorname{row}(Q))\) with \(A^{\#}=A\otimes I+I\otimes A\). The homogeneous-process consequence (`ξ`, `z` given) is \(Q_{\Delta t}=\operatorname{cov}(\eta_{ti}\mid\eta_{t-1,i})\) and \(\operatorname{cov}(\eta_{ti},\eta_{t-1,i})=A_{\Delta t}\operatorname{cov}(\eta_{t-1,i})\). The law of total variance on that pair is \(\operatorname{Var}(\eta_{ti})=A_{\Delta t}\operatorname{Var}(\eta_{t-1,i})A_{\Delta t}^{\top}+Q_{\Delta t}\). As \(\Delta t\to\infty\) with stable \(a<0\), Eq. 4 becomes \(-q/(2a)\). The JSS summary names that limit `asymDIFFUSION` and takes it as the total within-subject variance (p. 16). Section 4.3 (pp. 9–10) constrains a stationary `T0VAR` to that model-predicted variance and distinguishes it from a predetermined first occasion. The later-occasion variance of that predetermined first occasion is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). The lagged covariance of that predetermined first occasion is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). The same section (p. 9) adds a stable trait process with `DRIFT` and `DIFFUSION` fixed to zero; `TRAITVAR` is that time-invariant between-subject variance. Table 3 (p. 13) names `T0TIPREDEFFECT` the effect of time-independent predictors on latents at `T0` and names `TIPREDEFFECT` `B` separately. The JSS article has no numbered §2.2 (2.1 is Continuous time and SEM; §3 follows). This slice takes scalar \(L=1\) (every latent subject to system noise); it does not implement the 0/1 selector matrix and is not a Kalman filter. Discrete auto-effects are strictly positive for finite real drift and interval; the inverse \(a=\ln\varphi/\Delta t\) therefore requires \(\varphi>0\). Binary64 `exp` of a large negative argument is `+0` and is refused as a discrete lag; the same underflow is a vanishing lagged covariance and is kept. When `exp` of a finite `a Δt` overflows on the Table 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` / `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0`, rewrite as `sign(shift) exp(ln|shift| + a Δt)`; an overflowing `a Δt` product fails closed.

Equation 5 writes `y_i(t) = Γ + Λ η_i(t) + ζ_i(t)` with `ζ ~ N(0, Θ)` and `Γ ~ N(τ, Ψ)`. The 2017-era `summary.ctsemFit.R` forms the latent extra `addedTIPREDVAR` as `asymTIPREDEFFECT %*% TIPREDVAR %*% t(asymTIPREDEFFECT)`. The scalar latent extra is `(B / a)² v`.

A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. `v < 0` fails closed. A non-event clock fails closed. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change when the extra is nonzero and fails closed. `(B / a)² v` is the latent extra, not this observed extra. `λ² t0_b² v` is Eq. 5 of `addedT0TIPREDVAR`, not this asymptotic observed extra. `λ² p + θ` is stationary observed variance, not this extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is measurement error, not this extra. `Ψ` is intercept variance and is not extra TI.

This is two-group OLS, not MGCFA. Meredith (1993) names remain unread labels. -- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Later-start lagged covariance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T10:27Z). First-occasion lagged omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Later-occasion variance does not lag. Stationary lagged uses `−q / (2 a)`. Decaying the later total is not that map. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²` of it plus `ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. First-occasion lagged observed omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Later-start later-occasion variance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 3–4 Chapman–Kolmogorov `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:05Z). Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s`. Later-start lagged covariance omits `Q_s`. Stationary later uses `−q / (2 a)`. Evolving the later total as if it were all state is not that map. Ignoring `startoffset` omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance is `λ²` of it plus `θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that observed variance. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; footnote 4; §7.1; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:40Z). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `discreteDIFFUSIONstd` is `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:06Z). Unstandardised `Q_Δt` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. The continuous standardisation `−2 a` is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `Q_Δt / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DIFFUSIONstd` is `q / (−q / (2 a)) = −2 a` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:20Z). Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` depends on `Δt` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DRIFTstd` is the continuous auto-effect after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 1; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:28Z). Unstandardised `a` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DRIFTstd`. The discrete standardisation `e^{a Δt}` depends on the event interval and is not `DRIFTstd`. `a p / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` is `(-B / a) · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T14:25Z). Unstandardised `-B / a` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `(-B / a) · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T16:21Z). Unstandardised `B` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The asymptotic standardisation `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `B · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 / Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_b · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` `p_0` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; footnote 4; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T17:20Z). The affected variance is free first-occasion `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`. Unstandardised `t0_b` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` is the continuous coefficient and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `t0_b · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `t0_b² v` after a first-occasion time-independent predictor (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; §7.2; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T18:20Z). Form `t0_b` first, then square, then multiply by `v`. A zero coefficient or zero predictor variance is exactly zero. Free `T0TIPREDEFFECT` does not require `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is `addedTIPREDVAR` and is not this first-occasion map. `t0_b · √v / √p_0` is `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` and is not this variance. Free `T0VAR` is not this extra TI variance. `TRAITVAR` is not this extra TI variance. Equation 5 of 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `λ² t0_b² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 3, p. 13; Table 2, p. 12; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T19:10Z). Form `t0_b² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. `t0_b² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² p_0 + θ` is first-occasion observed variance, not this extra. `λ² (B / a)² v` is Eq. 5 of `addedTIPREDVAR`, not this first-occasion observed extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Equation 5 of §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` is `λ² (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12; §7.2, pp. 20–21; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T19:23Z). Form `(B / a)² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. Lasting asymptotic extra requires `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² t0_b² v` is first-occasion extra observed TI variance, not this extra. `λ² p + θ` is stationary observed variance, not this extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Page 16 `TDPREDEFFECTstd` is `m · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` and strictly positive time-dependent predictor variance. Unstandardised `M` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd` even when `M = B`. intercept-style `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] M · √v / √p` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `m · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. Table 3 / p. 16 `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_m · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` and strictly positive TD predictor variance. Unstandardised `t0_m` is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `TDPREDEFFECTstd` uses `asymDIFFUSION` and is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd` even when `t0_m = t0_b`. `t0_m · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. Free `T0VAR` does not require `a < 0`. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. +- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance.

Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free.

Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map.

Later-start lagged covariance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T10:27Z). First-occasion lagged omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Later-occasion variance does not lag. Stationary lagged uses `−q / (2 a)`. Decaying the later total is not that map. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²` of it plus `ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. First-occasion lagged observed omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Later-start later-occasion variance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 3–4 Chapman–Kolmogorov `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:05Z). Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s`. Later-start lagged covariance omits `Q_s`. Stationary later uses `−q / (2 a)`. Evolving the later total as if it were all state is not that map. Ignoring `startoffset` omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance is `λ²` of it plus `θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that observed variance. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; footnote 4; §7.1; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:40Z). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `discreteDIFFUSIONstd` is `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:06Z). Unstandardised `Q_Δt` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. The continuous standardisation `−2 a` is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `Q_Δt / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance.

Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` depends on `Δt` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance.

Unstandardised `a` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DRIFTstd`. The discrete standardisation `e^{a Δt}` depends on the event interval and is not `DRIFTstd`. `a p / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` is `(-B / a) · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T14:25Z). Unstandardised `-B / a` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `(-B / a) · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance.

Unstandardised `B` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The asymptotic standardisation `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`.

Page 16 / Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_b · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` `p_0` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; footnote 4; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T17:20Z). The affected variance is free first-occasion `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`. Unstandardised `t0_b` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` is the continuous coefficient and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `t0_b · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `t0_b² v` after a first-occasion time-independent predictor (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; §7.2; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T18:20Z). Form `t0_b` first, then square, then multiply by `v`. A zero coefficient or zero predictor variance is exactly zero. Free `T0TIPREDEFFECT` does not require `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is `addedTIPREDVAR` and is not this first-occasion map. `t0_b · √v / √p_0` is `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` and is not this variance. Free `T0VAR` is not this extra TI variance. `TRAITVAR` is not this extra TI variance.

Form `t0_b² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. `t0_b² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² p_0 + θ` is first-occasion observed variance, not this extra. `λ² (B / a)² v` is Eq. 5 of `addedTIPREDVAR`, not this first-occasion observed extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Equation 5 of §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` is `λ² (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12; §7.2, pp. 20–21; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T19:23Z). Form `(B / a)² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. Lasting asymptotic extra requires `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² t0_b² v` is first-occasion extra observed TI variance, not this extra. `λ² p + θ` is stationary observed variance, not this extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra.

Unstandardised `t0_m` is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `TDPREDEFFECTstd` uses `asymDIFFUSION` and is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd` even when `t0_m = t0_b`. `t0_m · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. Free `T0VAR` does not require `a < 0`. The scalar analog of 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` for the first-occasion TD coefficient is `t0_m² v` (2017-era `summary.ctsemFit.R` comments out `TDPREDVAR` and does not form `addedT0TDPREDVAR`; Table 2 names `T0TDPREDCOV` the first-occasion covariance, not this extra; Table 3 names `T0TIPREDEFFECT`, not a TD first-occasion effect matrix). `t0_b² v` is `addedT0TIPREDVAR` and is not this extra even when `t0_m = t0_b`. `t0_m · √v / √p_0` is `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd` and is not this variance. `T0TDPREDCOV` is the covariance, not `t0_m² v`. Free `T0VAR` is not this extra. `TRAITVAR` is not this extra. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. - Separate cluster means before within-unit lag. CWC plus an event-time lag is not DSEM.

The first-order product `a_yx Δt` is Eq. 14 and the underflow limit of Eq. 12, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. Already-centered residuals may have irregular event intervals. Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series is not the lagged within-person residual (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608). Metric/weak invariance licenses shared metric meaning only. Latent-mean comparison requires strong (equal loading and intercept) or strict invariance (Putnick & Bornstein, 2016, PMC5145197 opened 2026-08-19T22:15Z: scalar is required for latent means; residual invariance is not). Two-observation series have no residual degrees of freedom and cap at strong/scalar; identically-zero OLS residual variance is not strict. This two-group OLS gate is not MGCFA. +The executable multilevel slice is cluster-mean centering (CWC) plus within/between OLS, the CWC contextual effect (`between − within`), and Kish-weighted slopes. Enders and Tofighi (2007, Table 2, pp. 124–127) show that the CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the contextual effect, not the between-cluster effect. It is not DSEM and not RI-CLPM. The executable temporal slice maps a discrete lag through the exact scalar exponential `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time only (Voelkle, Oud, Davidov, & Schmidt, 2012, Eq. 7; Driver, Oud, & Voelkle, 2017, Eq. 3), recovers the forward map `φ(Δt) = exp(a Δt)`, remaps a discrete lag onto another event interval through that log-rate, recovers the exact scalar discrete effect of a constant predictor (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 12) as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows, and in log space when `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z` (`a_yx = 0` is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed), recovers the first-order discrete effect of a time-varying predictor with matched sampling and constancy intervals as `a_yx Δt` (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 14; ZORA accepted manuscript p. 21; not Eq. 12; unmatched intervals fail closed because Oud & Jansen, 2000, is unread), recovers the exact scalar discrete process noise `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3;

The first-order product `a_yx Δt` is Eq. 14 and the underflow limit of Eq. 12, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. Already-centered residuals may have irregular event intervals. Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series is not the lagged within-person residual (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608). Metric/weak invariance licenses shared metric meaning only. Latent-mean comparison requires strong (equal loading and intercept) or strict invariance (Putnick & Bornstein, 2016, PMC5145197 opened 2026-08-19T22:15Z: scalar is required for latent means; residual invariance is not). Two-observation series have no residual degrees of freedom and cap at strong/scalar; identically-zero OLS residual variance is not strict. This two-group OLS gate is not MGCFA. Input/process/intervention/outcome paths obey event-time order. Temporal precedence, document linkage, event tracking, or model prediction alone do not justify causal language. diff --git a/docs/research/multilevel-event-time-recovery.md b/docs/research/multilevel-event-time-recovery.md index b6ff59c74..582403d8a 100644 --- a/docs/research/multilevel-event-time-recovery.md +++ b/docs/research/multilevel-event-time-recovery.md @@ -82,15 +82,17 @@ This slice stays inside `psychometric_core`.

It is not DSEM, not RI-CLPM, not a random-effects sampler, not a Kalman filter, and not a matrix `expm` implementation. The CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the **contextual** effect, not the between-cluster effect. Discrete lags from different event intervals are not one coefficient. Equation 14 is not Equation 12. Discrete process noise \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the continuous diffusion \(GG^{\top}\). \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is the conditional residual variance, not \(\operatorname{Var}(\eta_{t})\). Finite-interval \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the stationary within-subject variance. Trait variance is not process noise and not the stationary within-subject variance. Measurement-error variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Latent variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Manifest means are not the observed-indicator mean. The latent mean is not the observed-indicator mean. The continuous intercept is not the manifest mean. The first-occasion latent mean is not the evolved latent mean. The continuous intercept is not the discrete mean increment. The first-occasion observed mean is not the evolved observed mean. The contemporaneous `TDPREDEFFECT` impulse is not the continuous intercept, not the time-independent discrete effect, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The time-independent `TIPREDEFFECT` increment is not the continuous intercept, not the contemporaneous impulse, not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14), and not the coefficient `B`. The within-interval `TDPREDEFFECT` carry `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the contemporaneous-impulse observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not the impulse-carry observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` when `u ≠ t`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the impulse-carry observed mean. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the time-independent-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TIPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_b z` is not the Eq. 3 process increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `κ`, and not `M x`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z` and is not that process increment. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TI-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-T0TIPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TDPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `κ`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0` and is not that within-interval impulse carry. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TD-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. Same numbers as `T0TIPREDEFFECT` yield the same product; Table 3 names a different matrix. The evolved-plus-T0TDPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The §7.2 level-change `CINT` `κ = −a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Lasting level change via that `CINT` setting requires `a < 0`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not that `CINT` setting. The Eq. 3 increment of that setting `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps the equilibrium offset `m x`. The §7.2 extra-process contribution `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. Lasting level change via that extra process requires `ε < 0`. Precisely `ε = 0` causes computational problems in the printed specification. The extra-process observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` is not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`, not the contribution, and not the evolved-plus-contribution latent mean. The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. Table 2 `asymCINT` `-κ / a` is the intercept contribution to the stationary process mean. It is not `κ`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. Lasting asymptotic intercept change via that map requires `a < 0`. Page 16 notes that a `T0MEANS` stationarity constraint includes time-independent predictors; that composition is not this intercept-only map. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion mean `-κ / a + −B z / a` is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` is not `τ + λ μ_0`, not `τ + λ(−κ / a)` when `B z ≠ 0`, not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `MANIFESTMEANS`, and not the constrained latent mean. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, not later-occasion variance, not `e^{a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. A zero-diffusion carry with `a ≥ 0` is `e^{a Δt} p_0` and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined lagged latent covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary first-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not free `p_0`, not lagged covariance, and not later-occasion variance. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay and do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary first-occasion map. As `Δt → 0+` the lagged and later maps approach this composition. Trait-only variance does not require a stable drift. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined first-occasion latent variance, not stationary first-occasion observed variance, and not predetermined later observed variance when `p_0` is free. The later-start lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` is not first-occasion lagged covariance when `u > 0`, not later-occasion variance, not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, and not `e^{a s}` of the later total. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a s}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches first-occasion lagged covariance. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start lagged latent covariance, not first-occasion lagged observed covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-start later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` is not later-occasion variance at `u` when `s > 0`, not later-start lagged covariance, not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a s}` of the later total plus `Q_s`, and not later-occasion variance over the lag interval alone when `u > 0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_s`. Chapman–Kolmogorov writes `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance over `s`. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start later-occasion latent variance, not predetermined later observed variance, not later-start lagged observed covariance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free.

Unstandardised `-B / a` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `(-B / a) · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance.

A zero coefficient or zero predictor variance is exactly zero. Free `T0TIPREDEFFECT` does not require `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is `addedTIPREDVAR` and is not this first-occasion map. `t0_b · √v / √p_0` is `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` and is not this variance. Free `T0VAR` is not this extra TI variance. `TRAITVAR` is not this extra TI variance. Equation 5 of 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `λ² t0_b² v`. Form `t0_b² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. `t0_b² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² p_0 + θ` is first-occasion observed variance, not this extra. `λ² (B / a)² v` is Eq. 5 of `addedTIPREDVAR`, not this first-occasion observed extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Equation 5 of §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` is `λ² (B / a)² v`. Form `(B / a)² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. Lasting asymptotic extra requires `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² t0_b² v` is first-occasion extra observed TI variance, not this extra. `λ² p + θ` is stationary observed variance, not this extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Page 16 `TDPREDEFFECTstd` is `m · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive time-dependent predictor variance `v` (footnote 4: standardise using only the relevant variance, not the total; the affecting variance is the TD predictor; the affected variance is `asymDIFFUSION`). Unstandardised `M` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` `B · √v / √p` is a different named matrix even when `M = B`. The finite-interval intercept-style standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] M · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `m · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Table 3 / p. 16 `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_m · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` `p_0` and strictly positive time-dependent predictor variance `v` (footnote 4: standardise using only the relevant variance, not the total; the affecting variance is the TD predictor, not `TIPREDVAR`; the affected variance is free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`). Unstandardised `t0_m` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `TDPREDEFFECTstd` `m · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` uses `asymDIFFUSION` and is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` `t0_b · √v / √p_0` is a different named matrix even when `t0_m = t0_b`. `t0_m · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Free `T0VAR` does not require `a < 0`. +This is two-level OLS and a noiseless scalar continuous-time map. It is not DSEM, not RI-CLPM, not a random-effects sampler, not a Kalman filter, and not a matrix `expm` implementation. The CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the **contextual** effect, not the between-cluster effect. Discrete lags from different event intervals are not one coefficient. Equation 14 is not Equation 12. Discrete process noise \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the continuous diffusion \(GG^{\top}\). \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is the conditional residual variance, not \(\operatorname{Var}(\eta_{t})\). Finite-interval \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the stationary within-subject variance. Trait variance is not process noise and not the stationary within-subject variance. Measurement-error variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Latent variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Manifest means are not the observed-indicator mean. The latent mean is not the observed-indicator mean. The continuous intercept is not the manifest mean. The first-occasion latent mean is not the evolved latent mean. The continuous intercept is not the discrete mean increment. The first-occasion observed mean is not the evolved observed mean. The contemporaneous `TDPREDEFFECT` impulse is not the continuous intercept, not the time-independent discrete effect, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The time-independent `TIPREDEFFECT` increment is not the continuous intercept, not the contemporaneous impulse, not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14), and not the coefficient `B`. The within-interval `TDPREDEFFECT` carry `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the contemporaneous-impulse observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not the impulse-carry observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` when `u ≠ t`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the impulse-carry observed mean. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the time-independent-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TIPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_b z` is not the Eq. 3 process increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `κ`, and not `M x`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z` and is not that process increment. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TI-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-T0TIPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TDPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `κ`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0` and is not that within-interval impulse carry. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TD-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. Same numbers as `T0TIPREDEFFECT` yield the same product; Table 3 names a different matrix. The evolved-plus-T0TDPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The §7.2 level-change `CINT` `κ = −a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Lasting level change via that `CINT` setting requires `a < 0`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not that `CINT` setting. The Eq. 3 increment of that setting `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps the equilibrium offset `m x`. The §7.2 extra-process contribution `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. Lasting level change via that extra process requires `ε < 0`. Precisely `ε = 0` causes computational problems in the printed specification. The extra-process observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` is not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`, not the contribution, and not the evolved-plus-contribution latent mean. The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. Table 2 `asymCINT` `-κ / a` is the intercept contribution to the stationary process mean. It is not `κ`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. Lasting asymptotic intercept change via that map requires `a < 0`. Page 16 notes that a `T0MEANS` stationarity constraint includes time-independent predictors; that composition is not this intercept-only map. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion mean `-κ / a + −B z / a` is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` is not `τ + λ μ_0`, not `τ + λ(−κ / a)` when `B z ≠ 0`, not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `MANIFESTMEANS`, and not the constrained latent mean. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, not later-occasion variance, not `e^{a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. A zero-diffusion carry with `a ≥ 0` is `e^{a Δt} p_0` and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined lagged latent covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary first-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not free `p_0`, not lagged covariance, and not later-occasion variance. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay and do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary first-occasion map. As `Δt → 0+` the lagged and later maps approach this composition. Trait-only variance does not require a stable drift. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined first-occasion latent variance, not stationary first-occasion observed variance, and not predetermined later observed variance when `p_0` is free. The later-start lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` is not first-occasion lagged covariance when `u > 0`, not later-occasion variance, not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, and not `e^{a s}` of the later total. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a s}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches first-occasion lagged covariance. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start lagged latent covariance, not first-occasion lagged observed covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-start later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` is not later-occasion variance at `u` when `s > 0`, not later-start lagged covariance, not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a s}` of the later total plus `Q_s`, and not later-occasion variance over the lag interval alone when `u > 0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_s`. Chapman–Kolmogorov writes `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance over `s`. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start later-occasion latent variance, not predetermined later observed variance, not later-start lagged observed covariance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free.

This is two-group OLS, not MGCFA. Meredith (1993) names remain unread labels. -- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Later-start lagged covariance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T10:27Z). First-occasion lagged omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Later-occasion variance does not lag. Stationary lagged uses `−q / (2 a)`. Decaying the later total is not that map. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²` of it plus `ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. First-occasion lagged observed omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Later-start later-occasion variance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 3–4 Chapman–Kolmogorov `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:05Z). Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s`. Later-start lagged covariance omits `Q_s`. Stationary later uses `−q / (2 a)`. Evolving the later total as if it were all state is not that map. Ignoring `startoffset` omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance is `λ²` of it plus `θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that observed variance. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; footnote 4; §7.1; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:40Z). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `discreteDIFFUSIONstd` is `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:06Z). Unstandardised `Q_Δt` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. The continuous standardisation `−2 a` is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `Q_Δt / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DIFFUSIONstd` is `q / (−q / (2 a)) = −2 a` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:20Z). Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` depends on `Δt` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DRIFTstd` is the continuous auto-effect after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 1; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:28Z). Unstandardised `a` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DRIFTstd`. The discrete standardisation `e^{a Δt}` depends on the event interval and is not `DRIFTstd`. `a p / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` is `(-B / a) · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T14:25Z). Unstandardised `-B / a` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `(-B / a) · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T16:21Z). Unstandardised `B` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The asymptotic standardisation `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `B · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 / Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_b · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` `p_0` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; footnote 4; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T17:20Z). The affected variance is free first-occasion `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`. Unstandardised `t0_b` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` is the continuous coefficient and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `t0_b · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `t0_b² v` after a first-occasion time-independent predictor (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; §7.2; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T18:20Z). Form `t0_b` first, then square, then multiply by `v`. A zero coefficient or zero predictor variance is exactly zero. Free `T0TIPREDEFFECT` does not require `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is `addedTIPREDVAR` and is not this first-occasion map. `t0_b · √v / √p_0` is `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` and is not this variance. Free `T0VAR` is not this extra TI variance. `TRAITVAR` is not this extra TI variance. Equation 5 of 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `λ² t0_b² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 3, p. 13; Table 2, p. 12; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T19:10Z). Form `t0_b² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. `t0_b² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² p_0 + θ` is first-occasion observed variance, not this extra. `λ² (B / a)² v` is Eq. 5 of `addedTIPREDVAR`, not this first-occasion observed extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Equation 5 of §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` is `λ² (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12; §7.2, pp. 20–21; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T19:23Z). Form `(B / a)² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. Lasting asymptotic extra requires `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² t0_b² v` is first-occasion extra observed TI variance, not this extra. `λ² p + θ` is stationary observed variance, not this extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Page 16 `TDPREDEFFECTstd` is `m · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` and strictly positive time-dependent predictor variance. Unstandardised `M` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd` even when `M = B`. intercept-style `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] M · √v / √p` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `m · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. Table 3 / p. 16 `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_m · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` and strictly positive TD predictor variance. Unstandardised `t0_m` is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `TDPREDEFFECTstd` uses `asymDIFFUSION` and is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd` even when `t0_m = t0_b`. `t0_m · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. Free `T0VAR` does not require `a < 0`. Page 16 `T0VARstd` is `p_0 / p_0 = 1` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` (`solve(sqrt(diag(T0VAR))) %&% T0VAR`; OpenMx `%&%` is `t(A) %*% B %*% A`; the default ridge is 0). Unstandardised `T0VAR` is not `T0VARstd`. `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd` is not `T0VARstd`. `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is not `T0VARstd`. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. +- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Later-start lagged covariance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T10:27Z). First-occasion lagged omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Later-occasion variance does not lag. Stationary lagged uses `−q / (2 a)`. Decaying the later total is not that map. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²` of it plus `ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. First-occasion lagged observed omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Later-start later-occasion variance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 3–4 Chapman–Kolmogorov `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:05Z). Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s`. Later-start lagged covariance omits `Q_s`. Stationary later uses `−q / (2 a)`. Evolving the later total as if it were all state is not that map. Ignoring `startoffset` omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance is `λ²` of it plus `θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that observed variance. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; footnote 4; §7.1; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:40Z). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `discreteDIFFUSIONstd` is `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:06Z). Unstandardised `Q_Δt` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. The continuous standardisation `−2 a` is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `Q_Δt / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DIFFUSIONstd` is `q / (−q / (2 a)) = −2 a` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:20Z). Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` depends on `Δt` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DRIFTstd` is the continuous auto-effect after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 1; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:28Z). Unstandardised `a` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DRIFTstd`. The discrete standardisation `e^{a Δt}` depends on the event interval and is not `DRIFTstd`. `a p / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` is `(-B / a) · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T14:25Z). Unstandardised `-B / a` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `(-B / a) · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T16:21Z). Unstandardised `B` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The asymptotic standardisation `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `B · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 / Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_b · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` `p_0` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; footnote 4; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T17:20Z). The affected variance is free first-occasion `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`. Unstandardised `t0_b` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` is the continuous coefficient and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `t0_b · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `t0_b² v` after a first-occasion time-independent predictor (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; §7.2; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T18:20Z). Form `t0_b` first, then square, then multiply by `v`. A zero coefficient or zero predictor variance is exactly zero. Free `T0TIPREDEFFECT` does not require `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is `addedTIPREDVAR` and is not this first-occasion map. `t0_b · √v / √p_0` is `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` and is not this variance. Free `T0VAR` is not this extra TI variance. `TRAITVAR` is not this extra TI variance. Equation 5 of 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `λ² t0_b² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 3, p. 13; Table 2, p. 12; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T19:10Z). Form `t0_b² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. `t0_b² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² p_0 + θ` is first-occasion observed variance, not this extra. `λ² (B / a)² v` is Eq. 5 of `addedTIPREDVAR`, not this first-occasion observed extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Equation 5 of §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` is `λ² (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12; §7.2, pp. 20–21; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T19:23Z). Form `(B / a)² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. Lasting asymptotic extra requires `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² t0_b² v` is first-occasion extra observed TI variance, not this extra. `λ² p + θ` is stationary observed variance, not this extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Page 16 `TDPREDEFFECTstd` is `m · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` and strictly positive time-dependent predictor variance. Unstandardised `M` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd` even when `M = B`. intercept-style `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] M · √v / √p` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `m · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. Table 3 / p. 16 `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_m · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` and strictly positive TD predictor variance. Unstandardised `t0_m` is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `TDPREDEFFECTstd` uses `asymDIFFUSION` and is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd` even when `t0_m = t0_b`. `t0_m · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. Free `T0VAR` does not require `a < 0`. Page 16 `T0VARstd` is `p_0 / p_0 = 1` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` (`solve(sqrt(diag(T0VAR))) %&% T0VAR`; OpenMx `%&%` is `t(A) %*% B %*% A`; the default ridge is 0). Unstandardised `T0VAR` is not `T0VARstd`. `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd` is not `T0VARstd`. `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is not `T0VARstd`. Page 16 `TRAITVARstd` is `trait / trait = 1` after strictly positive `TRAITVAR` (`solve(sqrt(diag(TRAITVAR))) %&% TRAITVAR`; OpenMx `%&%` is `t(A) %*% B %*% A`; no ridge addend). Unstandardised `TRAITVAR` is not `TRAITVARstd`. `T0VARstd` is not `TRAITVARstd` even when both equal 1. `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is not `TRAITVARstd`. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. - Separate cluster means before within-unit lag. CWC plus an event-time lag is not DSEM. Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series does not isolate the lagged within-person effect (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608); already-centered residuals with irregular event intervals use the exact scalar map. - Do not treat the CWC cluster-mean coefficient as the between-cluster effect. It is the contextual effect `between − within` (Enders & Tofighi, 2007, Table 2, pp. 124–127). - Never use future-available evidence in historical model fits. diff --git a/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs b/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs index 8ec66204d..f96d19015 100644 --- a/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs +++ b/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs @@ -945,6 +945,23 @@ pub enum PsychometricError { /// p. 16 `T0VARstd`.

The first-order product `a_yx Δt` is Eq. 14 and the underflow limit of Eq. 12, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. Already-centered residuals may have irregular event intervals. Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series is not the lagged within-person residual (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608). Metric/weak invariance licenses shared metric meaning only. Latent-mean comparison requires strong (equal loading and intercept) or strict invariance (Putnick & Bornstein, 2016, PMC5145197 opened 2026-08-19T22:15Z: scalar is required for latent means; residual invariance is not). Two-observation series have no residual degrees of freedom and cap at strong/scalar; identically-zero OLS residual variance is not strict. This two-group OLS gate is not MGCFA. +The executable multilevel slice is cluster-mean centering (CWC) plus within/between OLS, the CWC contextual effect (`between − within`), and Kish-weighted slopes. Enders and Tofighi (2007, Table 2, pp. 124–127) show that the CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the contextual effect, not the between-cluster effect. It is not DSEM and not RI-CLPM. The executable temporal slice maps a discrete lag through the exact scalar exponential `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time only (Voelkle, Oud, Davidov, & Schmidt, 2012, Eq. 7; Driver, Oud, & Voelkle, 2017, Eq. 3), recovers the forward map `φ(Δt) = exp(a Δt)`, remaps a discrete lag onto another event interval through that log-rate, recovers the exact scalar discrete effect of a constant predictor (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 12) as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows, and in log space when `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z` (`a_yx = 0` is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed), recovers the first-order discrete effect of a time-varying predictor with matched sampling and constancy intervals as `a_yx Δt` (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 14; ZORA accepted manuscript p. 21; not Eq. 12; unmatched intervals fail closed because Oud & Jansen, 2000, is unread), recovers the exact scalar discrete process noise `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3;

do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)`, `a = -from_bits(1)` → `0.5`); `a ≥ 0` and finite-interval `Q_Δt` fail closed as that limit), recovers the exact scalar trait-plus-state variance `trait + state` and lagged covariance `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9;

It is not DSEM, not RI-CLPM, not a random-effects sampler, not a Kalman filter, and not a matrix `expm` implementation. The CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the **contextual** effect, not the between-cluster effect. Discrete lags from different event intervals are not one coefficient. Equation 14 is not Equation 12. Discrete process noise \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the continuous diffusion \(GG^{\top}\). \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is the conditional residual variance, not \(\operatorname{Var}(\eta_{t})\). Finite-interval \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the stationary within-subject variance. Trait variance is not process noise and not the stationary within-subject variance. Measurement-error variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Latent variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Manifest means are not the observed-indicator mean. The latent mean is not the observed-indicator mean. The continuous intercept is not the manifest mean. The first-occasion latent mean is not the evolved latent mean. The continuous intercept is not the discrete mean increment. The first-occasion observed mean is not the evolved observed mean. The contemporaneous `TDPREDEFFECT` impulse is not the continuous intercept, not the time-independent discrete effect, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The time-independent `TIPREDEFFECT` increment is not the continuous intercept, not the contemporaneous impulse, not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14), and not the coefficient `B`. The within-interval `TDPREDEFFECT` carry `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the contemporaneous-impulse observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not the impulse-carry observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` when `u ≠ t`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the impulse-carry observed mean. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the time-independent-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TIPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_b z` is not the Eq. 3 process increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `κ`, and not `M x`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z` and is not that process increment. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TI-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-T0TIPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TDPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `κ`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0` and is not that within-interval impulse carry. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TD-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. Same numbers as `T0TIPREDEFFECT` yield the same product; Table 3 names a different matrix. The evolved-plus-T0TDPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The §7.2 level-change `CINT` `κ = −a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Lasting level change via that `CINT` setting requires `a < 0`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not that `CINT` setting. The Eq. 3 increment of that setting `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps the equilibrium offset `m x`. The §7.2 extra-process contribution `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. Lasting level change via that extra process requires `ε < 0`. Precisely `ε = 0` causes computational problems in the printed specification. The extra-process observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` is not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`, not the contribution, and not the evolved-plus-contribution latent mean. The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. Table 2 `asymCINT` `-κ / a` is the intercept contribution to the stationary process mean. It is not `κ`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. Lasting asymptotic intercept change via that map requires `a < 0`. Page 16 notes that a `T0MEANS` stationarity constraint includes time-independent predictors; that composition is not this intercept-only map. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion mean `-κ / a + −B z / a` is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` is not `τ + λ μ_0`, not `τ + λ(−κ / a)` when `B z ≠ 0`, not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `MANIFESTMEANS`, and not the constrained latent mean. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, not later-occasion variance, not `e^{a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. A zero-diffusion carry with `a ≥ 0` is `e^{a Δt} p_0` and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined lagged latent covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary first-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not free `p_0`, not lagged covariance, and not later-occasion variance. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay and do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary first-occasion map. As `Δt → 0+` the lagged and later maps approach this composition. Trait-only variance does not require a stable drift. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined first-occasion latent variance, not stationary first-occasion observed variance, and not predetermined later observed variance when `p_0` is free. The later-start lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` is not first-occasion lagged covariance when `u > 0`, not later-occasion variance, not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, and not `e^{a s}` of the later total. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a s}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches first-occasion lagged covariance. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start lagged latent covariance, not first-occasion lagged observed covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-start later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` is not later-occasion variance at `u` when `s > 0`, not later-start lagged covariance, not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a s}` of the later total plus `Q_s`, and not later-occasion variance over the lag interval alone when `u > 0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_s`. Chapman–Kolmogorov writes `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance over `s`. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start later-occasion latent variance, not predetermined later observed variance, not later-start lagged observed covariance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free.

A zero coefficient or zero predictor variance is exactly zero.

A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. `t0_b² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² p_0 + θ` is first-occasion observed variance, not this extra. `λ² (B / a)² v` is Eq. 5 of `addedTIPREDVAR`, not this first-occasion observed extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Equation 5 of §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` is `λ² (B / a)² v`. Form `(B / a)² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. Lasting asymptotic extra requires `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² t0_b² v` is first-occasion extra observed TI variance, not this extra. `λ² p + θ` is stationary observed variance, not this extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra.

Distinct positive `p_0` recover the same 1. `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd` `t0_m · √v / √p_0` depends on `p_0` and is not `T0VARstd`. `addedT0TIPREDVAR` `t0_b² v` is extra TI variance, not this correlation. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. +This is two-level OLS and a noiseless scalar continuous-time map. It is not DSEM, not RI-CLPM, not a random-effects sampler, not a Kalman filter, and not a matrix `expm` implementation. The CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the **contextual** effect, not the between-cluster effect. Discrete lags from different event intervals are not one coefficient. Equation 14 is not Equation 12. Discrete process noise \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the continuous diffusion \(GG^{\top}\). \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is the conditional residual variance, not \(\operatorname{Var}(\eta_{t})\). Finite-interval \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the stationary within-subject variance. Trait variance is not process noise and not the stationary within-subject variance. Measurement-error variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Latent variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Manifest means are not the observed-indicator mean. The latent mean is not the observed-indicator mean. The continuous intercept is not the manifest mean. The first-occasion latent mean is not the evolved latent mean. The continuous intercept is not the discrete mean increment. The first-occasion observed mean is not the evolved observed mean. The contemporaneous `TDPREDEFFECT` impulse is not the continuous intercept, not the time-independent discrete effect, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The time-independent `TIPREDEFFECT` increment is not the continuous intercept, not the contemporaneous impulse, not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14), and not the coefficient `B`. The within-interval `TDPREDEFFECT` carry `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the contemporaneous-impulse observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not the impulse-carry observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` when `u ≠ t`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the impulse-carry observed mean. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the time-independent-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TIPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_b z` is not the Eq. 3 process increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `κ`, and not `M x`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z` and is not that process increment. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TI-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-T0TIPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TDPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `κ`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0` and is not that within-interval impulse carry. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TD-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. Same numbers as `T0TIPREDEFFECT` yield the same product; Table 3 names a different matrix. The evolved-plus-T0TDPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The §7.2 level-change `CINT` `κ = −a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Lasting level change via that `CINT` setting requires `a < 0`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not that `CINT` setting. The Eq. 3 increment of that setting `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps the equilibrium offset `m x`. The §7.2 extra-process contribution `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. Lasting level change via that extra process requires `ε < 0`. Precisely `ε = 0` causes computational problems in the printed specification. The extra-process observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` is not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`, not the contribution, and not the evolved-plus-contribution latent mean. The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. Table 2 `asymCINT` `-κ / a` is the intercept contribution to the stationary process mean. It is not `κ`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. Lasting asymptotic intercept change via that map requires `a < 0`. Page 16 notes that a `T0MEANS` stationarity constraint includes time-independent predictors; that composition is not this intercept-only map. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion mean `-κ / a + −B z / a` is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` is not `τ + λ μ_0`, not `τ + λ(−κ / a)` when `B z ≠ 0`, not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `MANIFESTMEANS`, and not the constrained latent mean. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, not later-occasion variance, not `e^{a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. A zero-diffusion carry with `a ≥ 0` is `e^{a Δt} p_0` and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined lagged latent covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary first-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not free `p_0`, not lagged covariance, and not later-occasion variance. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay and do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary first-occasion map. As `Δt → 0+` the lagged and later maps approach this composition. Trait-only variance does not require a stable drift. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined first-occasion latent variance, not stationary first-occasion observed variance, and not predetermined later observed variance when `p_0` is free. The later-start lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` is not first-occasion lagged covariance when `u > 0`, not later-occasion variance, not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, and not `e^{a s}` of the later total. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a s}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches first-occasion lagged covariance. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start lagged latent covariance, not first-occasion lagged observed covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-start later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` is not later-occasion variance at `u` when `s > 0`, not later-start lagged covariance, not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a s}` of the later total plus `Q_s`, and not later-occasion variance over the lag interval alone when `u > 0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_s`. Chapman–Kolmogorov writes `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance over `s`. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start later-occasion latent variance, not predetermined later observed variance, not later-start lagged observed covariance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free.

Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a)) = 1 − exp(2 a Δt)` depends on the event interval and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance.

(2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Later-start lagged covariance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T10:27Z). First-occasion lagged omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Later-occasion variance does not lag. Stationary lagged uses `−q / (2 a)`. Decaying the later total is not that map. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²` of it plus `ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. First-occasion lagged observed omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Later-start later-occasion variance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 3–4 Chapman–Kolmogorov `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:05Z). Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s`. Later-start lagged covariance omits `Q_s`. Stationary later uses `−q / (2 a)`. Evolving the later total as if it were all state is not that map. Ignoring `startoffset` omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance is `λ²` of it plus `θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that observed variance. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; footnote 4; §7.1; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:40Z). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `discreteDIFFUSIONstd` is `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:06Z). Unstandardised `Q_Δt` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. The continuous standardisation `−2 a` is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `Q_Δt / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DIFFUSIONstd` is `q / (−q / (2 a)) = −2 a` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:20Z). Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` depends on `Δt` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DRIFTstd` is the continuous auto-effect after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 1; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:28Z). Unstandardised `a` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DRIFTstd`. The discrete standardisation `e^{a Δt}` depends on the event interval and is not `DRIFTstd`. `a p / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` is `(-B / a) · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T14:25Z). Unstandardised `-B / a` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `(-B / a) · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T16:21Z). Unstandardised `B` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The asymptotic standardisation `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `B · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 / Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_b · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` `p_0` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; footnote 4; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T17:20Z). The affected variance is free first-occasion `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`. Unstandardised `t0_b` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` is the continuous coefficient and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `t0_b · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `t0_b² v` after a first-occasion time-independent predictor (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; §7.2; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T18:20Z). Form `t0_b` first, then square, then multiply by `v`. A zero coefficient or zero predictor variance is exactly zero. Free `T0TIPREDEFFECT` does not require `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is `addedTIPREDVAR` and is not this first-occasion map. `t0_b · √v / √p_0` is `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` and is not this variance. Free `T0VAR` is not this extra TI variance. `TRAITVAR` is not this extra TI variance. Equation 5 of 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `λ² t0_b² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 3, p. 13; Table 2, p. 12; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T19:10Z). Form `t0_b² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. `t0_b² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² p_0 + θ` is first-occasion observed variance, not this extra. `λ² (B / a)² v` is Eq. 5 of `addedTIPREDVAR`, not this first-occasion observed extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Equation 5 of §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` is `λ² (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12; §7.2, pp. 20–21; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T19:23Z). Form `(B / a)² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. Lasting asymptotic extra requires `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² t0_b² v` is first-occasion extra observed TI variance, not this extra. `λ² p + θ` is stationary observed variance, not this extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Page 16 `TDPREDEFFECTstd` is `m · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` and strictly positive time-dependent predictor variance. Unstandardised `M` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd` even when `M = B`. intercept-style `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] M · √v / √p` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `m · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. Table 3 / p. 16 `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_m · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` and strictly positive TD predictor variance. Unstandardised `t0_m` is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `TDPREDEFFECTstd` uses `asymDIFFUSION` and is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd` even when `t0_m = t0_b`. `t0_m · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. Free `T0VAR` does not require `a < 0`. Page 16 `T0VARstd` is `p_0 / p_0 = 1` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` (`solve(sqrt(diag(T0VAR))) %&% T0VAR`; OpenMx `%&%` is `t(A) %*% B %*% A`; the default ridge is 0). Unstandardised `T0VAR` is not `T0VARstd`. `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd` is not `T0VARstd`. `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is not `T0VARstd`. Page 16 `TRAITVARstd` is `trait / trait = 1` after strictly positive `TRAITVAR` (`solve(sqrt(diag(TRAITVAR))) %&% TRAITVAR`; OpenMx `%&%` is `t(A) %*% B %*% A`; no ridge addend). Unstandardised `TRAITVAR` is not `TRAITVARstd`. `T0VARstd` is not `TRAITVARstd` even when both equal 1. `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is not `TRAITVARstd`. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. +- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Later-start lagged covariance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T10:27Z). First-occasion lagged omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Later-occasion variance does not lag. Stationary lagged uses `−q / (2 a)`. Decaying the later total is not that map. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²` of it plus `ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. First-occasion lagged observed omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Later-start later-occasion variance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 3–4 Chapman–Kolmogorov `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:05Z). Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s`. Later-start lagged covariance omits `Q_s`. Stationary later uses `−q / (2 a)`. Evolving the later total as if it were all state is not that map. Ignoring `startoffset` omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance is `λ²` of it plus `θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that observed variance. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; footnote 4; §7.1; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:40Z). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `discreteDIFFUSIONstd` is `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:06Z). Unstandardised `Q_Δt` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`.

Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` depends on `Δt` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DRIFTstd` is the continuous auto-effect after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 1; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:28Z). Unstandardised `a` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DRIFTstd`. The discrete standardisation `e^{a Δt}` depends on the event interval and is not `DRIFTstd`. `a p / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` is `(-B / a) · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T14:25Z). Unstandardised `-B / a` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `(-B / a) · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T16:21Z). Unstandardised `B` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The asymptotic standardisation `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `B · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 / Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_b · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` `p_0` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; footnote 4; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T17:20Z). The affected variance is free first-occasion `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`. Unstandardised `t0_b` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` is the continuous coefficient and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `t0_b · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `t0_b² v` after a first-occasion time-independent predictor (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; §7.2; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T18:20Z). Form `t0_b` first, then square, then multiply by `v`. A zero coefficient or zero predictor variance is exactly zero. Free `T0TIPREDEFFECT` does not require `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is `addedTIPREDVAR` and is not this first-occasion map. `t0_b · √v / √p_0` is `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` and is not this variance. Free `T0VAR` is not this extra TI variance. `TRAITVAR` is not this extra TI variance. Equation 5 of 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `λ² t0_b² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 3, p. 13; Table 2, p. 12; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T19:10Z). Form `t0_b² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. `t0_b² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² p_0 + θ` is first-occasion observed variance, not this extra. `λ² (B / a)² v` is Eq. 5 of `addedTIPREDVAR`, not this first-occasion observed extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Equation 5 of §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` is `λ² (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12; §7.2, pp. 20–21; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T19:23Z). Form `(B / a)² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. Lasting asymptotic extra requires `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² t0_b² v` is first-occasion extra observed TI variance, not this extra. `λ² p + θ` is stationary observed variance, not this extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Page 16 `TDPREDEFFECTstd` is `m · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` and strictly positive time-dependent predictor variance. Unstandardised `M` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd` even when `M = B`. intercept-style `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] M · √v / √p` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `m · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`.

Free `T0VAR` does not require `a < 0`. Page 16 `T0VARstd` is `p_0 / p_0 = 1` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` (`solve(sqrt(diag(T0VAR))) %&% T0VAR`; OpenMx `%&%` is `t(A) %*% B %*% A`; the default ridge is 0).

Unstandardised `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is not `MANIFESTTRAITVARstd`. `TRAITVARstd` is not `MANIFESTTRAITVARstd` even when both equal 1. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `MANIFESTTRAITVARstd`. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. - Separate cluster means before within-unit lag. CWC plus an event-time lag is not DSEM. Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series does not isolate the lagged within-person effect (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608); already-centered residuals with irregular event intervals use the exact scalar map. - Do not treat the CWC cluster-mean coefficient as the between-cluster effect. It is the contextual effect `between − within` (Enders & Tofighi, 2007, Table 2, pp. 124–127). - Never use future-available evidence in historical model fits. diff --git a/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs b/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs index f96d19015..4bc7a379f 100644 --- a/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs +++ b/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs @@ -962,6 +962,26 @@ pub enum PsychometricError { /// p. 16 `TRAITVARstd`.

Metric/weak invariance licenses shared metric meaning only. Latent-mean comparison requires strong (equal loading and intercept) or strict invariance (Putnick & Bornstein, 2016, PMC5145197 opened 2026-08-19T22:15Z: scalar is required for latent means; residual invariance is not). Two-observation series have no residual degrees of freedom and cap at strong/scalar; identically-zero OLS residual variance is not strict. This two-group OLS gate is not MGCFA. +The executable multilevel slice is cluster-mean centering (CWC) plus within/between OLS, the CWC contextual effect (`between − within`), and Kish-weighted slopes. Enders and Tofighi (2007, Table 2, pp. 124–127) show that the CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the contextual effect, not the between-cluster effect. It is not DSEM and not RI-CLPM. The executable temporal slice maps a discrete lag through the exact scalar exponential `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time only (Voelkle, Oud, Davidov, & Schmidt, 2012, Eq. 7; Driver, Oud, & Voelkle, 2017, Eq. 3), recovers the forward map `φ(Δt) = exp(a Δt)`, remaps a discrete lag onto another event interval through that log-rate, recovers the exact scalar discrete effect of a constant predictor (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 12) as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows, and in log space when `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z` (`a_yx = 0` is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed), recovers the first-order discrete effect of a time-varying predictor with matched sampling and constancy intervals as `a_yx Δt` (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 14; ZORA accepted manuscript p. 21; not Eq. 12; unmatched intervals fail closed because Oud & Jansen, 2000, is unread), recovers the exact scalar discrete process noise `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-18T07:06Z, p. 4; scalar `L = 1`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; `z → −∞` keeps `−0.5 q / a`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; `z → +∞` and an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fail closed), recovers the exact scalar lagged latent covariance `exp(a Δt) p` and the law-of-total-variance map `Var(η_t) = exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-18T18:03Z; JSS has no numbered §2.2; `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})` and is refused as the unconditional variance; a zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` fails closed), recovers the exact scalar stationary within-subject variance `-q / (2 a)` as the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4 for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3 T0VAR stationarity; when `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`; CodeRabbit on `75ecdd3`); when `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`; do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)`, `a = -from_bits(1)` → `0.5`); `a ≥ 0` and finite-interval `Q_Δt` fail closed as that limit), recovers the exact scalar trait-plus-state variance `trait + state` and lagged covariance `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-18T21:07Z; a stable trait has `DRIFT` and `DIFFUSION` fixed to zero; `TRAITVAR` is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`; evolving the summed variance as if it were all state fails the claim boundary;

It is not DSEM, not RI-CLPM, not a random-effects sampler, not a Kalman filter, and not a matrix `expm` implementation. The CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the **contextual** effect, not the between-cluster effect. Discrete lags from different event intervals are not one coefficient. Equation 14 is not Equation 12. Discrete process noise \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the continuous diffusion \(GG^{\top}\). \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is the conditional residual variance, not \(\operatorname{Var}(\eta_{t})\). Finite-interval \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the stationary within-subject variance. Trait variance is not process noise and not the stationary within-subject variance. Measurement-error variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Latent variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Manifest means are not the observed-indicator mean. The latent mean is not the observed-indicator mean. The continuous intercept is not the manifest mean. The first-occasion latent mean is not the evolved latent mean. The continuous intercept is not the discrete mean increment. The first-occasion observed mean is not the evolved observed mean. The contemporaneous `TDPREDEFFECT` impulse is not the continuous intercept, not the time-independent discrete effect, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The time-independent `TIPREDEFFECT` increment is not the continuous intercept, not the contemporaneous impulse, not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14), and not the coefficient `B`. The within-interval `TDPREDEFFECT` carry `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the contemporaneous-impulse observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not the impulse-carry observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` when `u ≠ t`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the impulse-carry observed mean. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the time-independent-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TIPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_b z` is not the Eq. 3 process increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `κ`, and not `M x`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z` and is not that process increment. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TI-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-T0TIPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TDPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `κ`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0` and is not that within-interval impulse carry. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TD-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. Same numbers as `T0TIPREDEFFECT` yield the same product; Table 3 names a different matrix. The evolved-plus-T0TDPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The §7.2 level-change `CINT` `κ = −a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Lasting level change via that `CINT` setting requires `a < 0`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not that `CINT` setting. The Eq. 3 increment of that setting `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps the equilibrium offset `m x`. The §7.2 extra-process contribution `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. Lasting level change via that extra process requires `ε < 0`. Precisely `ε = 0` causes computational problems in the printed specification. The extra-process observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` is not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`, not the contribution, and not the evolved-plus-contribution latent mean. The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. Table 2 `asymCINT` `-κ / a` is the intercept contribution to the stationary process mean. It is not `κ`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. Lasting asymptotic intercept change via that map requires `a < 0`. Page 16 notes that a `T0MEANS` stationarity constraint includes time-independent predictors; that composition is not this intercept-only map. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion mean `-κ / a + −B z / a` is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` is not `τ + λ μ_0`, not `τ + λ(−κ / a)` when `B z ≠ 0`, not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `MANIFESTMEANS`, and not the constrained latent mean. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, not later-occasion variance, not `e^{a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. A zero-diffusion carry with `a ≥ 0` is `e^{a Δt} p_0` and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined lagged latent covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary first-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not free `p_0`, not lagged covariance, and not later-occasion variance. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay and do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary first-occasion map. As `Δt → 0+` the lagged and later maps approach this composition. Trait-only variance does not require a stable drift. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined first-occasion latent variance, not stationary first-occasion observed variance, and not predetermined later observed variance when `p_0` is free. The later-start lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` is not first-occasion lagged covariance when `u > 0`, not later-occasion variance, not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, and not `e^{a s}` of the later total. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a s}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches first-occasion lagged covariance. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start lagged latent covariance, not first-occasion lagged observed covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-start later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` is not later-occasion variance at `u` when `s > 0`, not later-start lagged covariance, not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a s}` of the later total plus `Q_s`, and not later-occasion variance over the lag interval alone when `u > 0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_s`. Chapman–Kolmogorov writes `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance over `s`. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start later-occasion latent variance, not predetermined later observed variance, not later-start lagged observed covariance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free.

Unstandardised `TRAITVAR` is defined for a zero trait and is not `TRAITVARstd`. Zero `TRAITVAR` fails closed. Distinct positive `trait` recover the same 1. `T0VARstd` `p_0 / p_0 = 1` recovers the same number and remains a distinct named quantity. `addedT0TIPREDVAR` `t0_b² v` is extra TI variance, not this correlation. `TRAITVAR` does not require `a < 0`. +This is two-level OLS and a noiseless scalar continuous-time map. It is not DSEM, not RI-CLPM, not a random-effects sampler, not a Kalman filter, and not a matrix `expm` implementation. The CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the **contextual** effect, not the between-cluster effect. Discrete lags from different event intervals are not one coefficient. Equation 14 is not Equation 12. Discrete process noise \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the continuous diffusion \(GG^{\top}\). \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is the conditional residual variance, not \(\operatorname{Var}(\eta_{t})\). Finite-interval \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the stationary within-subject variance. Trait variance is not process noise and not the stationary within-subject variance. Measurement-error variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Latent variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Manifest means are not the observed-indicator mean. The latent mean is not the observed-indicator mean. The continuous intercept is not the manifest mean. The first-occasion latent mean is not the evolved latent mean. The continuous intercept is not the discrete mean increment. The first-occasion observed mean is not the evolved observed mean. The contemporaneous `TDPREDEFFECT` impulse is not the continuous intercept, not the time-independent discrete effect, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The time-independent `TIPREDEFFECT` increment is not the continuous intercept, not the contemporaneous impulse, not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14), and not the coefficient `B`. The within-interval `TDPREDEFFECT` carry `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the contemporaneous-impulse observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not the impulse-carry observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` when `u ≠ t`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the impulse-carry observed mean. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the time-independent-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TIPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_b z` is not the Eq. 3 process increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `κ`, and not `M x`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z` and is not that process increment. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TI-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-T0TIPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TDPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `κ`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0` and is not that within-interval impulse carry. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TD-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. Same numbers as `T0TIPREDEFFECT` yield the same product; Table 3 names a different matrix. The evolved-plus-T0TDPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The §7.2 level-change `CINT` `κ = −a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Lasting level change via that `CINT` setting requires `a < 0`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not that `CINT` setting. The Eq. 3 increment of that setting `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps the equilibrium offset `m x`. The §7.2 extra-process contribution `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. Lasting level change via that extra process requires `ε < 0`. Precisely `ε = 0` causes computational problems in the printed specification. The extra-process observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` is not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`, not the contribution, and not the evolved-plus-contribution latent mean. The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. Table 2 `asymCINT` `-κ / a` is the intercept contribution to the stationary process mean. It is not `κ`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. Lasting asymptotic intercept change via that map requires `a < 0`. Page 16 notes that a `T0MEANS` stationarity constraint includes time-independent predictors; that composition is not this intercept-only map. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion mean `-κ / a + −B z / a` is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` is not `τ + λ μ_0`, not `τ + λ(−κ / a)` when `B z ≠ 0`, not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `MANIFESTMEANS`, and not the constrained latent mean. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, not later-occasion variance, not `e^{a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. A zero-diffusion carry with `a ≥ 0` is `e^{a Δt} p_0` and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined lagged latent covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary first-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not free `p_0`, not lagged covariance, and not later-occasion variance. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay and do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary first-occasion map. As `Δt → 0+` the lagged and later maps approach this composition. Trait-only variance does not require a stable drift. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined first-occasion latent variance, not stationary first-occasion observed variance, and not predetermined later observed variance when `p_0` is free. The later-start lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` is not first-occasion lagged covariance when `u > 0`, not later-occasion variance, not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, and not `e^{a s}` of the later total. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a s}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches first-occasion lagged covariance. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start lagged latent covariance, not first-occasion lagged observed covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-start later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` is not later-occasion variance at `u` when `s > 0`, not later-start lagged covariance, not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a s}` of the later total plus `Q_s`, and not later-occasion variance over the lag interval alone when `u > 0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_s`. Chapman–Kolmogorov writes `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance over `s`. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start later-occasion latent variance, not predetermined later observed variance, not later-start lagged observed covariance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (footnote 4: standardise `DRIFT` using only within-subject variance, not the total). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `discreteDIFFUSIONstd` is `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (footnote 4: standardise process noise using only within-subject variance, not the total). Unstandardised `Q_Δt` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. The continuous standardisation `q / (−q / (2 a)) = −2 a` is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `Q_Δt / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DIFFUSIONstd` is `q / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (footnote 4: standardise process noise using only within-subject variance, not the total).

Page 16 prints continuous-time parameters and, when appropriate, standardised matrices with the suffix `std`. Table 2 names `M` `TDPREDEFFECT`. Footnote 4: standardisations use only the relevant variance, not the total. The affecting variance is time-dependent predictor variance `v`. The affected variance is within-subject `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)`, because the process dynamics are individual, or average individual, temporal dynamics. Form strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` first, then strictly positive `v`, then `m · √v / √(-q / (2 a))`. Unstandardised `M` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance; standardised `TDPREDEFFECT` is not. Zero `asymDIFFUSION` or zero `v` has no positive SD and fails closed. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` `B · √v / √p` is a different named matrix even when `M = B` and the predictor variances match. The finite-interval intercept-style standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] M · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not this continuous Dirac coefficient. Section 7.1 warns that omitting trait variance confounds between- and within-person information. `m · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses the total, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd` when `TRAITVAR` is nonzero. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Predecessor `event_time.rs` asymptotic-std `process_sd == 0` / `predictor_sd == 0` gates after already-checked `within == 0` and `v == 0` were unreachable; this slice drops them so stacked line/branch coverage can close.

This is two-group OLS, not MGCFA. Meredith (1993) names remain unread labels. -- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Later-start lagged covariance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T10:27Z). First-occasion lagged omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Later-occasion variance does not lag. Stationary lagged uses `−q / (2 a)`. Decaying the later total is not that map. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²` of it plus `ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. First-occasion lagged observed omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Later-start later-occasion variance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 3–4 Chapman–Kolmogorov `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:05Z). Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s`. Later-start lagged covariance omits `Q_s`. Stationary later uses `−q / (2 a)`. Evolving the later total as if it were all state is not that map. Ignoring `startoffset` omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance is `λ²` of it plus `θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that observed variance. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; footnote 4; §7.1; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:40Z). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `discreteDIFFUSIONstd` is `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:06Z). Unstandardised `Q_Δt` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. The continuous standardisation `−2 a` is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `Q_Δt / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DIFFUSIONstd` is `q / (−q / (2 a)) = −2 a` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:20Z). Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` depends on `Δt` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DRIFTstd` is the continuous auto-effect after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 1; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:28Z). Unstandardised `a` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DRIFTstd`. The discrete standardisation `e^{a Δt}` depends on the event interval and is not `DRIFTstd`. `a p / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` is `(-B / a) · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T14:25Z). Unstandardised `-B / a` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `(-B / a) · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T16:21Z). Unstandardised `B` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The asymptotic standardisation `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `B · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 / Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_b · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` `p_0` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; footnote 4; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T17:20Z). The affected variance is free first-occasion `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`. Unstandardised `t0_b` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` is the continuous coefficient and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `t0_b · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `t0_b² v` after a first-occasion time-independent predictor (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; §7.2; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T18:20Z). Form `t0_b` first, then square, then multiply by `v`. A zero coefficient or zero predictor variance is exactly zero. Free `T0TIPREDEFFECT` does not require `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is `addedTIPREDVAR` and is not this first-occasion map. `t0_b · √v / √p_0` is `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` and is not this variance. Free `T0VAR` is not this extra TI variance. `TRAITVAR` is not this extra TI variance. Equation 5 of 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `λ² t0_b² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 3, p. 13; Table 2, p. 12; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T19:10Z). Form `t0_b² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. `t0_b² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² p_0 + θ` is first-occasion observed variance, not this extra. `λ² (B / a)² v` is Eq. 5 of `addedTIPREDVAR`, not this first-occasion observed extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Equation 5 of §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` is `λ² (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12; §7.2, pp. 20–21; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T19:23Z). Form `(B / a)² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. Lasting asymptotic extra requires `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² t0_b² v` is first-occasion extra observed TI variance, not this extra. `λ² p + θ` is stationary observed variance, not this extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Page 16 `TDPREDEFFECTstd` is `m · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` and strictly positive time-dependent predictor variance. Unstandardised `M` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd` even when `M = B`. intercept-style `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] M · √v / √p` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `m · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. Table 3 / p. 16 `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_m · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` and strictly positive TD predictor variance. Unstandardised `t0_m` is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `TDPREDEFFECTstd` uses `asymDIFFUSION` and is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd` even when `t0_m = t0_b`. `t0_m · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. Free `T0VAR` does not require `a < 0`. The scalar analog of 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` for the first-occasion TD coefficient is `t0_m² v` (2017-era `summary.ctsemFit.R` comments out `TDPREDVAR` and does not form `addedT0TDPREDVAR`; Table 2 names `T0TDPREDCOV` the first-occasion covariance, not this extra; Table 3 names `T0TIPREDEFFECT`, not a TD first-occasion effect matrix). `t0_b² v` is `addedT0TIPREDVAR` and is not this extra even when `t0_m = t0_b`. `t0_m · √v / √p_0` is `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd` and is not this variance. `T0TDPREDCOV` is the covariance, not `t0_m² v`. Free `T0VAR` is not this extra. `TRAITVAR` is not this extra. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. +- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Later-start lagged covariance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T10:27Z). First-occasion lagged omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Later-occasion variance does not lag. Stationary lagged uses `−q / (2 a)`. Decaying the later total is not that map. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²` of it plus `ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. First-occasion lagged observed omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Later-start later-occasion variance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 3–4 Chapman–Kolmogorov `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:05Z). Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s`. Later-start lagged covariance omits `Q_s`. Stationary later uses `−q / (2 a)`. Evolving the later total as if it were all state is not that map. Ignoring `startoffset` omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance is `λ²` of it plus `θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that observed variance. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; footnote 4; §7.1; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:40Z). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `discreteDIFFUSIONstd` is `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:06Z). Unstandardised `Q_Δt` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. The continuous standardisation `−2 a` is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `Q_Δt / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DIFFUSIONstd` is `q / (−q / (2 a)) = −2 a` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:20Z). Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` depends on `Δt` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DRIFTstd` is the continuous auto-effect after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 1; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:28Z). Unstandardised `a` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DRIFTstd`. The discrete standardisation `e^{a Δt}` depends on the event interval and is not `DRIFTstd`. `a p / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` is `(-B / a) · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T14:25Z). Unstandardised `-B / a` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `(-B / a) · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T16:21Z). Unstandardised `B` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The asymptotic standardisation `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `B · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 / Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_b · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` `p_0` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; footnote 4; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T17:20Z). The affected variance is free first-occasion `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`. Unstandardised `t0_b` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` is the continuous coefficient and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `t0_b · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `t0_b² v` after a first-occasion time-independent predictor (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; §7.2; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T18:20Z). Form `t0_b` first, then square, then multiply by `v`. A zero coefficient or zero predictor variance is exactly zero. Free `T0TIPREDEFFECT` does not require `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is `addedTIPREDVAR` and is not this first-occasion map. `t0_b · √v / √p_0` is `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` and is not this variance. Free `T0VAR` is not this extra TI variance. `TRAITVAR` is not this extra TI variance. Equation 5 of 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `λ² t0_b² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 3, p. 13; Table 2, p. 12; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T19:10Z). Form `t0_b² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. `t0_b² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² p_0 + θ` is first-occasion observed variance, not this extra. `λ² (B / a)² v` is Eq. 5 of `addedTIPREDVAR`, not this first-occasion observed extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Equation 5 of §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` is `λ² (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12; §7.2, pp. 20–21; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T19:23Z). Form `(B / a)² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. Lasting asymptotic extra requires `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² t0_b² v` is first-occasion extra observed TI variance, not this extra. `λ² p + θ` is stationary observed variance, not this extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Page 16 `TDPREDEFFECTstd` is `m · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` and strictly positive time-dependent predictor variance. Unstandardised `M` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd` even when `M = B`. intercept-style `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] M · √v / √p` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `m · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. Table 3 / p. 16 `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_m · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` and strictly positive TD predictor variance. Unstandardised `t0_m` is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `TDPREDEFFECTstd` uses `asymDIFFUSION` and is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd` even when `t0_m = t0_b`. `t0_m · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. Free `T0VAR` does not require `a < 0`. The scalar analog of 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` for the first-occasion TD coefficient is `t0_m² v` (2017-era `summary.ctsemFit.R` comments out `TDPREDVAR` and does not form `addedT0TDPREDVAR`; Table 2 names `T0TDPREDCOV` the first-occasion covariance, not this extra; Table 3 names `T0TIPREDEFFECT`, not a TD first-occasion effect matrix). `t0_b² v` is `addedT0TIPREDVAR` and is not this extra even when `t0_m = t0_b`. `t0_m · √v / √p_0` is `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd` and is not this variance. `T0TDPREDCOV` is the covariance, not `t0_m² v`. Free `T0VAR` is not this extra. `TRAITVAR` is not this extra. Equation 5 of that analog extra is `λ² t0_m² v`. Form `t0_m² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. `t0_m² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² p_0 + θ` is first-occasion observed variance, not this extra. `λ² t0_b² v` is Eq. 5 of `addedT0TIPREDVAR` and is not this extra even when `t0_m = t0_b`. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. - Separate cluster means before within-unit lag. CWC plus an event-time lag is not DSEM. Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series does not isolate the lagged within-person effect (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608); already-centered residuals with irregular event intervals use the exact scalar map. - Do not treat the CWC cluster-mean coefficient as the between-cluster effect. It is the contextual effect `between − within` (Enders & Tofighi, 2007, Table 2, pp. 124–127). - Never use future-available evidence in historical model fits. diff --git a/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs b/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs index dc43714c2..ae5423401 100644 --- a/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs +++ b/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs @@ -955,6 +955,24 @@ pub enum PsychometricError { /// `TRAITVAR`.

The first-order product `a_yx Δt` is Eq. 14 and the underflow limit of Eq. 12, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. Already-centered residuals may have irregular event intervals. Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series is not the lagged within-person residual (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608). Metric/weak invariance licenses shared metric meaning only. Latent-mean comparison requires strong (equal loading and intercept) or strict invariance (Putnick & Bornstein, 2016, PMC5145197 opened 2026-08-19T22:15Z: scalar is required for latent means; residual invariance is not). Two-observation series have no residual degrees of freedom and cap at strong/scalar; identically-zero OLS residual variance is not strict. This two-group OLS gate is not MGCFA. +The executable multilevel slice is cluster-mean centering (CWC) plus within/between OLS, the CWC contextual effect (`between − within`), and Kish-weighted slopes. Enders and Tofighi (2007, Table 2, pp. 124–127) show that the CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the contextual effect, not the between-cluster effect. It is not DSEM and not RI-CLPM. The executable temporal slice maps a discrete lag through the exact scalar exponential `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time only (Voelkle, Oud, Davidov, & Schmidt, 2012, Eq. 7; Driver, Oud, & Voelkle, 2017, Eq. 3), recovers the forward map `φ(Δt) = exp(a Δt)`, remaps a discrete lag onto another event interval through that log-rate, recovers the exact scalar discrete effect of a constant predictor (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 12) as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows, and in log space when `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z` (`a_yx = 0` is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed), recovers the first-order discrete effect of a time-varying predictor with matched sampling and constancy intervals as `a_yx Δt` (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 14; ZORA accepted manuscript p. 21; not Eq. 12; unmatched intervals fail closed because Oud & Jansen, 2000, is unread), recovers the exact scalar discrete process noise `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3;

It is not DSEM, not RI-CLPM, not a random-effects sampler, not a Kalman filter, and not a matrix `expm` implementation. The CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the **contextual** effect, not the between-cluster effect. Discrete lags from different event intervals are not one coefficient. Equation 14 is not Equation 12. Discrete process noise \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the continuous diffusion \(GG^{\top}\). \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is the conditional residual variance, not \(\operatorname{Var}(\eta_{t})\). Finite-interval \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the stationary within-subject variance. Trait variance is not process noise and not the stationary within-subject variance. Measurement-error variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Latent variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Manifest means are not the observed-indicator mean. The latent mean is not the observed-indicator mean. The continuous intercept is not the manifest mean. The first-occasion latent mean is not the evolved latent mean. The continuous intercept is not the discrete mean increment. The first-occasion observed mean is not the evolved observed mean. The contemporaneous `TDPREDEFFECT` impulse is not the continuous intercept, not the time-independent discrete effect, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The time-independent `TIPREDEFFECT` increment is not the continuous intercept, not the contemporaneous impulse, not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14), and not the coefficient `B`. The within-interval `TDPREDEFFECT` carry `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the contemporaneous-impulse observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not the impulse-carry observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` when `u ≠ t`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the impulse-carry observed mean. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the time-independent-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TIPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_b z` is not the Eq. 3 process increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `κ`, and not `M x`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z` and is not that process increment. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TI-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-T0TIPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TDPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `κ`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0` and is not that within-interval impulse carry. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TD-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. Same numbers as `T0TIPREDEFFECT` yield the same product; Table 3 names a different matrix. The evolved-plus-T0TDPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The §7.2 level-change `CINT` `κ = −a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Lasting level change via that `CINT` setting requires `a < 0`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not that `CINT` setting. The Eq. 3 increment of that setting `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps the equilibrium offset `m x`. The §7.2 extra-process contribution `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. Lasting level change via that extra process requires `ε < 0`. Precisely `ε = 0` causes computational problems in the printed specification. The extra-process observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` is not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`, not the contribution, and not the evolved-plus-contribution latent mean. The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. Table 2 `asymCINT` `-κ / a` is the intercept contribution to the stationary process mean. It is not `κ`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. Lasting asymptotic intercept change via that map requires `a < 0`. Page 16 notes that a `T0MEANS` stationarity constraint includes time-independent predictors; that composition is not this intercept-only map. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion mean `-κ / a + −B z / a` is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` is not `τ + λ μ_0`, not `τ + λ(−κ / a)` when `B z ≠ 0`, not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `MANIFESTMEANS`, and not the constrained latent mean. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, not later-occasion variance, not `e^{a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. A zero-diffusion carry with `a ≥ 0` is `e^{a Δt} p_0` and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined lagged latent covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary first-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not free `p_0`, not lagged covariance, and not later-occasion variance. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay and do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary first-occasion map. As `Δt → 0+` the lagged and later maps approach this composition. Trait-only variance does not require a stable drift. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined first-occasion latent variance, not stationary first-occasion observed variance, and not predetermined later observed variance when `p_0` is free. The later-start lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` is not first-occasion lagged covariance when `u > 0`, not later-occasion variance, not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, and not `e^{a s}` of the later total. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a s}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches first-occasion lagged covariance. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start lagged latent covariance, not first-occasion lagged observed covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-start later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` is not later-occasion variance at `u` when `s > 0`, not later-start lagged covariance, not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a s}` of the later total plus `Q_s`, and not later-occasion variance over the lag interval alone when `u > 0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_s`. Chapman–Kolmogorov writes `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance over `s`. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start later-occasion latent variance, not predetermined later observed variance, not later-start lagged observed covariance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free.

Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance.

The continuous standardisation `q / (−q / (2 a)) = −2 a` is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `Q_Δt / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance.

Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`.

Table 3 / p. 16 `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_b · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` `p_0` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (footnote 4: standardise using only the relevant variance, not the total; the affecting variance is `TIPREDVAR`; the affected variance is free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`). Unstandardised `t0_b` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` uses `asymDIFFUSION` and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `t0_b · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `t0_b² v` (`T0TIPREDEFFECT %*% TIPREDVAR %*% t(T0TIPREDEFFECT)` immediately after `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`). A zero coefficient or zero predictor variance is exactly zero. Free `T0TIPREDEFFECT` does not require `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is `addedTIPREDVAR` and is not this first-occasion map. `t0_b · √v / √p_0` is `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` and is not this variance. Free `T0VAR` is not this extra TI variance. `TRAITVAR` is not this extra TI variance. Equation 5 of 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `λ² t0_b² v`. Form `t0_b² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. `t0_b² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² p_0 + θ` is first-occasion observed variance, not this extra. `λ² (B / a)² v` is Eq. 5 of `addedTIPREDVAR`, not this first-occasion observed extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Equation 5 of §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` is `λ² (B / a)² v`. Form `(B / a)² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. Lasting asymptotic extra requires `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² t0_b² v` is first-occasion extra observed TI variance, not this extra. `λ² p + θ` is stationary observed variance, not this extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Page 16 `TDPREDEFFECTstd` is `m · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive time-dependent predictor variance `v` (footnote 4: standardise using only the relevant variance, not the total; the affecting variance is the TD predictor; the affected variance is `asymDIFFUSION`). Unstandardised `M` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` `B · √v / √p` is a different named matrix even when `M = B`. The finite-interval intercept-style standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] M · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `m · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Table 3 / p. 16 `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_m · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` `p_0` and strictly positive time-dependent predictor variance `v` (footnote 4: standardise using only the relevant variance, not the total; the affecting variance is the TD predictor, not `TIPREDVAR`; the affected variance is free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`). Unstandardised `t0_m` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `TDPREDEFFECTstd` `m · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` uses `asymDIFFUSION` and is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` `t0_b · √v / √p_0` is a different named matrix even when `t0_m = t0_b`. `t0_m · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Free `T0VAR` does not require `a < 0`. The scalar analog of 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` for the first-occasion TD coefficient is `t0_m² v` (2017-era `summary.ctsemFit.R` comments out `TDPREDVAR` and does not form `addedT0TDPREDVAR`; Table 2 names `T0TDPREDCOV` the first-occasion covariance, not this extra; Table 3 names `T0TIPREDEFFECT`, not a TD first-occasion effect matrix). A zero coefficient or zero predictor variance is exactly zero. `t0_b² v` is `addedT0TIPREDVAR` and is not this extra even when `t0_m = t0_b`. `t0_m · √v / √p_0` is `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd` and is not this variance. `T0TDPREDCOV` is the covariance, not `t0_m² v`. Free `T0VAR` is not this extra. `TRAITVAR` is not this extra. +This is two-level OLS and a noiseless scalar continuous-time map. It is not DSEM, not RI-CLPM, not a random-effects sampler, not a Kalman filter, and not a matrix `expm` implementation. The CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the **contextual** effect, not the between-cluster effect. Discrete lags from different event intervals are not one coefficient. Equation 14 is not Equation 12. Discrete process noise \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the continuous diffusion \(GG^{\top}\). \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is the conditional residual variance, not \(\operatorname{Var}(\eta_{t})\). Finite-interval \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the stationary within-subject variance. Trait variance is not process noise and not the stationary within-subject variance. Measurement-error variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Latent variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Manifest means are not the observed-indicator mean. The latent mean is not the observed-indicator mean. The continuous intercept is not the manifest mean. The first-occasion latent mean is not the evolved latent mean. The continuous intercept is not the discrete mean increment. The first-occasion observed mean is not the evolved observed mean. The contemporaneous `TDPREDEFFECT` impulse is not the continuous intercept, not the time-independent discrete effect, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The time-independent `TIPREDEFFECT` increment is not the continuous intercept, not the contemporaneous impulse, not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14), and not the coefficient `B`. The within-interval `TDPREDEFFECT` carry `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the contemporaneous-impulse observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not the impulse-carry observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` when `u ≠ t`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the impulse-carry observed mean. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the time-independent-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TIPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_b z` is not the Eq. 3 process increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `κ`, and not `M x`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z` and is not that process increment. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TI-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-T0TIPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TDPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `κ`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0` and is not that within-interval impulse carry. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TD-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. Same numbers as `T0TIPREDEFFECT` yield the same product; Table 3 names a different matrix. The evolved-plus-T0TDPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The §7.2 level-change `CINT` `κ = −a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Lasting level change via that `CINT` setting requires `a < 0`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not that `CINT` setting. The Eq. 3 increment of that setting `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps the equilibrium offset `m x`. The §7.2 extra-process contribution `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. Lasting level change via that extra process requires `ε < 0`. Precisely `ε = 0` causes computational problems in the printed specification. The extra-process observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` is not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`, not the contribution, and not the evolved-plus-contribution latent mean. The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. Table 2 `asymCINT` `-κ / a` is the intercept contribution to the stationary process mean. It is not `κ`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. Lasting asymptotic intercept change via that map requires `a < 0`. Page 16 notes that a `T0MEANS` stationarity constraint includes time-independent predictors; that composition is not this intercept-only map. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion mean `-κ / a + −B z / a` is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` is not `τ + λ μ_0`, not `τ + λ(−κ / a)` when `B z ≠ 0`, not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `MANIFESTMEANS`, and not the constrained latent mean. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, not later-occasion variance, not `e^{a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. A zero-diffusion carry with `a ≥ 0` is `e^{a Δt} p_0` and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined lagged latent covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary first-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not free `p_0`, not lagged covariance, and not later-occasion variance. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay and do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary first-occasion map. As `Δt → 0+` the lagged and later maps approach this composition. Trait-only variance does not require a stable drift. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined first-occasion latent variance, not stationary first-occasion observed variance, and not predetermined later observed variance when `p_0` is free. The later-start lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` is not first-occasion lagged covariance when `u > 0`, not later-occasion variance, not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, and not `e^{a s}` of the later total. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a s}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches first-occasion lagged covariance. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start lagged latent covariance, not first-occasion lagged observed covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-start later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` is not later-occasion variance at `u` when `s > 0`, not later-start lagged covariance, not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a s}` of the later total plus `Q_s`, and not later-occasion variance over the lag interval alone when `u > 0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_s`. Chapman–Kolmogorov writes `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance over `s`. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start later-occasion latent variance, not predetermined later observed variance, not later-start lagged observed covariance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free.

Table 3 / p. 16 `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_b · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` `p_0` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (footnote 4: standardise using only the relevant variance, not the total; the affecting variance is `TIPREDVAR`; the affected variance is free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`). Unstandardised `t0_b` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` uses `asymDIFFUSION` and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `t0_b · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `t0_b² v` (`T0TIPREDEFFECT %*% TIPREDVAR %*% t(T0TIPREDEFFECT)` immediately after `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`). A zero coefficient or zero predictor variance is exactly zero. Free `T0TIPREDEFFECT` does not require `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is `addedTIPREDVAR` and is not this first-occasion map. `t0_b · √v / √p_0` is `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` and is not this variance. Free `T0VAR` is not this extra TI variance. `TRAITVAR` is not this extra TI variance. Equation 5 of 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `λ² t0_b² v`. Form `t0_b² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`.

Equation 5 of §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` is `λ² (B / a)² v`. Form `(B / a)² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero.

Table 3 / p. 16 `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_m · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` `p_0` and strictly positive time-dependent predictor variance `v` (footnote 4: standardise using only the relevant variance, not the total; the affecting variance is the TD predictor, not `TIPREDVAR`; the affected variance is free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`).

Free `T0VAR` does not require `a < 0`. The scalar analog of 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` for the first-occasion TD coefficient is `t0_m² v` (2017-era `summary.ctsemFit.R` comments out `TDPREDVAR` and does not form `addedT0TDPREDVAR`; Table 2 names `T0TDPREDCOV` the first-occasion covariance, not this extra; Table 3 names `T0TIPREDEFFECT`, not a TD first-occasion effect matrix). A zero coefficient or zero predictor variance is exactly zero. `t0_b² v` is `addedT0TIPREDVAR` and is not this extra even when `t0_m = t0_b`. `t0_m · √v / √p_0` is `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd` and is not this variance. `T0TDPREDCOV` is the covariance, not `t0_m² v`. Free `T0VAR` is not this extra. `TRAITVAR` is not this extra. Equation 5 of that analog extra is `λ² t0_m² v`. Form `t0_m² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. `t0_m² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² p_0 + θ` is first-occasion observed variance, not this extra. `λ² t0_b² v` is Eq. 5 of `addedT0TIPREDVAR` and is not this extra even when `t0_m = t0_b`. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. ## Authoritative sources @@ -227,3 +229,4 @@ The Voelkle et al.

Strong (equal loading and intercept) or strict is required; `#84` `metric` licenses shared metric meaning only. Putnick and Bornstein (2016, PMC5145197 opened 2026-08-19T22:15Z) require scalar invariance before latent-mean comparison; residual invariance is not a prerequisite. Two-observation series have no residual degrees of freedom (`ordinary_least_squares_fit` returns residual variance `0`) and cap at strong/scalar; they still license means. This is two-group OLS, not MGCFA. Meredith (1993) names remain unread labels. -- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Later-start lagged covariance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T10:27Z). First-occasion lagged omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Later-occasion variance does not lag. Stationary lagged uses `−q / (2 a)`. Decaying the later total is not that map. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²` of it plus `ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. First-occasion lagged observed omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Later-start later-occasion variance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 3–4 Chapman–Kolmogorov `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:05Z). Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s`. Later-start lagged covariance omits `Q_s`. Stationary later uses `−q / (2 a)`. Evolving the later total as if it were all state is not that map. Ignoring `startoffset` omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance is `λ²` of it plus `θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that observed variance. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; footnote 4; §7.1; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:40Z). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `discreteDIFFUSIONstd` is `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:06Z). Unstandardised `Q_Δt` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. The continuous standardisation `−2 a` is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `Q_Δt / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DIFFUSIONstd` is `q / (−q / (2 a)) = −2 a` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:20Z). Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` depends on `Δt` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DRIFTstd` is the continuous auto-effect after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 1; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:28Z). Unstandardised `a` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DRIFTstd`. The discrete standardisation `e^{a Δt}` depends on the event interval and is not `DRIFTstd`. `a p / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` is `(-B / a) · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T14:25Z). Unstandardised `-B / a` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `(-B / a) · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T16:21Z). Unstandardised `B` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The asymptotic standardisation `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `B · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 / Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_b · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` `p_0` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; footnote 4; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T17:20Z). The affected variance is free first-occasion `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`. Unstandardised `t0_b` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` is the continuous coefficient and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `t0_b · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `t0_b² v` after a first-occasion time-independent predictor (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; §7.2; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T18:20Z). Form `t0_b` first, then square, then multiply by `v`. A zero coefficient or zero predictor variance is exactly zero. Free `T0TIPREDEFFECT` does not require `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is `addedTIPREDVAR` and is not this first-occasion map. `t0_b · √v / √p_0` is `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` and is not this variance. Free `T0VAR` is not this extra TI variance. `TRAITVAR` is not this extra TI variance. Equation 5 of 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `λ² t0_b² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 3, p. 13; Table 2, p. 12; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T19:10Z). Form `t0_b² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. `t0_b² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² p_0 + θ` is first-occasion observed variance, not this extra. `λ² (B / a)² v` is Eq. 5 of `addedTIPREDVAR`, not this first-occasion observed extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Equation 5 of §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` is `λ² (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12; §7.2, pp. 20–21; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T19:23Z). Form `(B / a)² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. Lasting asymptotic extra requires `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² t0_b² v` is first-occasion extra observed TI variance, not this extra. `λ² p + θ` is stationary observed variance, not this extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Page 16 `TDPREDEFFECTstd` is `m · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` and strictly positive time-dependent predictor variance. Unstandardised `M` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd` even when `M = B`. intercept-style `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] M · √v / √p` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `m · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. Table 3 / p. 16 `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_m · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` and strictly positive TD predictor variance. Unstandardised `t0_m` is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `TDPREDEFFECTstd` uses `asymDIFFUSION` and is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd` even when `t0_m = t0_b`. `t0_m · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. Free `T0VAR` does not require `a < 0`. Page 16 `T0VARstd` is `p_0 / p_0 = 1` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` (`solve(sqrt(diag(T0VAR))) %&% T0VAR`; OpenMx `%&%` is `t(A) %*% B %*% A`; the default ridge is 0). Unstandardised `T0VAR` is not `T0VARstd`. `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd` is not `T0VARstd`. `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is not `T0VARstd`. Page 16 `TRAITVARstd` is `trait / trait = 1` after strictly positive `TRAITVAR` (`solve(sqrt(diag(TRAITVAR))) %&% TRAITVAR`; OpenMx `%&%` is `t(A) %*% B %*% A`; no ridge addend). Unstandardised `TRAITVAR` is not `TRAITVARstd`. `T0VARstd` is not `TRAITVARstd` even when both equal 1. `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is not `TRAITVARstd`. Page 16 `MANIFESTTRAITVARstd` is `ψ / ψ = 1` after strictly positive `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` (`solve(sqrt(diag(MANIFESTTRAITVAR))) %&% MANIFESTTRAITVAR`; OpenMx `%&%` is `t(A) %*% B %*% A`; 2017-era source adds ridging; default ridge is 0). Unstandardised `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is not `MANIFESTTRAITVARstd`. `TRAITVARstd` is not `MANIFESTTRAITVARstd` even when both equal 1. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `MANIFESTTRAITVARstd`. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. +- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Later-start lagged covariance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T10:27Z). First-occasion lagged omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Later-occasion variance does not lag. Stationary lagged uses `−q / (2 a)`. Decaying the later total is not that map. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²` of it plus `ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. First-occasion lagged observed omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Later-start later-occasion variance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 3–4 Chapman–Kolmogorov `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:05Z). Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s`. Later-start lagged covariance omits `Q_s`. Stationary later uses `−q / (2 a)`. Evolving the later total as if it were all state is not that map. Ignoring `startoffset` omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance is `λ²` of it plus `θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that observed variance. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; footnote 4; §7.1; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:40Z). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `discreteDIFFUSIONstd` is `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:06Z). Unstandardised `Q_Δt` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. The continuous standardisation `−2 a` is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `Q_Δt / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DIFFUSIONstd` is `q / (−q / (2 a)) = −2 a` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:20Z). Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` depends on `Δt` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DRIFTstd` is the continuous auto-effect after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 1; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:28Z). Unstandardised `a` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DRIFTstd`. The discrete standardisation `e^{a Δt}` depends on the event interval and is not `DRIFTstd`. `a p / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` is `(-B / a) · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T14:25Z). Unstandardised `-B / a` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `(-B / a) · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T16:21Z). Unstandardised `B` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The asymptotic standardisation `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `B · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 / Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_b · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` `p_0` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; footnote 4; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T17:20Z). The affected variance is free first-occasion `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`. Unstandardised `t0_b` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` is the continuous coefficient and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `t0_b · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `t0_b² v` after a first-occasion time-independent predictor (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; §7.2; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T18:20Z). Form `t0_b` first, then square, then multiply by `v`. A zero coefficient or zero predictor variance is exactly zero. Free `T0TIPREDEFFECT` does not require `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is `addedTIPREDVAR` and is not this first-occasion map. `t0_b · √v / √p_0` is `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` and is not this variance. Free `T0VAR` is not this extra TI variance. `TRAITVAR` is not this extra TI variance. Equation 5 of 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `λ² t0_b² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 3, p. 13; Table 2, p. 12; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T19:10Z). Form `t0_b² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. `t0_b² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² p_0 + θ` is first-occasion observed variance, not this extra. `λ² (B / a)² v` is Eq. 5 of `addedTIPREDVAR`, not this first-occasion observed extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Equation 5 of §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` is `λ² (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12; §7.2, pp. 20–21; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T19:23Z). Form `(B / a)² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. Lasting asymptotic extra requires `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² t0_b² v` is first-occasion extra observed TI variance, not this extra. `λ² p + θ` is stationary observed variance, not this extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Page 16 `TDPREDEFFECTstd` is `m · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` and strictly positive time-dependent predictor variance. Unstandardised `M` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd` even when `M = B`. intercept-style `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] M · √v / √p` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `m · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. Table 3 / p. 16 `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_m · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` and strictly positive TD predictor variance. Unstandardised `t0_m` is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `TDPREDEFFECTstd` uses `asymDIFFUSION` and is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd` even when `t0_m = t0_b`. `t0_m · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. Free `T0VAR` does not require `a < 0`. Page 16 `T0VARstd` is `p_0 / p_0 = 1` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` (`solve(sqrt(diag(T0VAR))) %&% T0VAR`; OpenMx `%&%` is `t(A) %*% B %*% A`; the default ridge is 0).

Unstandardised `MANIFESTVAR` is not `MANIFESTVARstd`. `MANIFESTTRAITVARstd` is not `MANIFESTVARstd` even when both equal 1. Equation 5 `Var(y)` is not `MANIFESTVARstd`. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. - Separate cluster means before within-unit lag. CWC plus an event-time lag is not DSEM. Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series does not isolate the lagged within-person effect (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608); already-centered residuals with irregular event intervals use the exact scalar map. - Do not treat the CWC cluster-mean coefficient as the between-cluster effect.

The first-order product `a_yx Δt` is Eq. 14 and the underflow limit of Eq. 12, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. Already-centered residuals may have irregular event intervals. Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series is not the lagged within-person residual (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608). Metric/weak invariance licenses shared metric meaning only. Latent-mean comparison requires strong (equal loading and intercept) or strict invariance (Putnick & Bornstein, 2016, PMC5145197 opened 2026-08-19T22:15Z: scalar is required for latent means; residual invariance is not). Two-observation series have no residual degrees of freedom and cap at strong/scalar; identically-zero OLS residual variance is not strict. This two-group OLS gate is not MGCFA. +The executable multilevel slice is cluster-mean centering (CWC) plus within/between OLS, the CWC contextual effect (`between − within`), and Kish-weighted slopes. Enders and Tofighi (2007, Table 2, pp. 124–127) show that the CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the contextual effect, not the between-cluster effect. It is not DSEM and not RI-CLPM. The executable temporal slice maps a discrete lag through the exact scalar exponential `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time only (Voelkle, Oud, Davidov, & Schmidt, 2012, Eq. 7; Driver, Oud, & Voelkle, 2017, Eq. 3), recovers the forward map `φ(Δt) = exp(a Δt)`, remaps a discrete lag onto another event interval through that log-rate, recovers the exact scalar discrete effect of a constant predictor (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 12) as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows, and in log space when `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z` (`a_yx = 0` is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed), recovers the first-order discrete effect of a time-varying predictor with matched sampling and constancy intervals as `a_yx Δt` (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 14; ZORA accepted manuscript p. 21; not Eq. 12; unmatched intervals fail closed because Oud & Jansen, 2000, is unread), recovers the exact scalar discrete process noise `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-18T07:06Z, p. 4; scalar `L = 1`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; `z → −∞` keeps `−0.5 q / a`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; `z → +∞` and an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fail closed), recovers the exact scalar lagged latent covariance `exp(a Δt) p` and the law-of-total-variance map `Var(η_t) = exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-18T18:03Z; JSS has no numbered §2.2; `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})` and is refused as the unconditional variance; a zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` fails closed), recovers the exact scalar stationary within-subject variance `-q / (2 a)` as the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4 for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3 T0VAR stationarity; when `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`; CodeRabbit on `75ecdd3`); when `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`; do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)`, `a = -from_bits(1)` → `0.5`); `a ≥ 0` and finite-interval `Q_Δt` fail closed as that limit), recovers the exact scalar trait-plus-state variance `trait + state` and lagged covariance `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-18T21:07Z; a stable trait has `DRIFT` and `DIFFUSION` fixed to zero; `TRAITVAR` is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`; evolving the summed variance as if it were all state fails the claim boundary;

Two-observation series have no residual degrees of freedom and cap at strong/scalar; identically-zero OLS residual variance is not strict. This two-group OLS gate is not MGCFA. Input/process/intervention/outcome paths obey event-time order.

It is not DSEM, not RI-CLPM, not a random-effects sampler, not a Kalman filter, and not a matrix `expm` implementation. The CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the **contextual** effect, not the between-cluster effect. Discrete lags from different event intervals are not one coefficient. Equation 14 is not Equation 12. Discrete process noise \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the continuous diffusion \(GG^{\top}\). \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is the conditional residual variance, not \(\operatorname{Var}(\eta_{t})\). Finite-interval \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the stationary within-subject variance. Trait variance is not process noise and not the stationary within-subject variance. Measurement-error variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Latent variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Manifest means are not the observed-indicator mean. The latent mean is not the observed-indicator mean. The continuous intercept is not the manifest mean. The first-occasion latent mean is not the evolved latent mean. The continuous intercept is not the discrete mean increment. The first-occasion observed mean is not the evolved observed mean. The contemporaneous `TDPREDEFFECT` impulse is not the continuous intercept, not the time-independent discrete effect, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The time-independent `TIPREDEFFECT` increment is not the continuous intercept, not the contemporaneous impulse, not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14), and not the coefficient `B`. The within-interval `TDPREDEFFECT` carry `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the contemporaneous-impulse observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not the impulse-carry observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` when `u ≠ t`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the impulse-carry observed mean. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the time-independent-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TIPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_b z` is not the Eq. 3 process increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `κ`, and not `M x`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z` and is not that process increment. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TI-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-T0TIPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TDPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `κ`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0` and is not that within-interval impulse carry. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TD-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. Same numbers as `T0TIPREDEFFECT` yield the same product; Table 3 names a different matrix. The evolved-plus-T0TDPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The §7.2 level-change `CINT` `κ = −a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Lasting level change via that `CINT` setting requires `a < 0`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not that `CINT` setting. The Eq. 3 increment of that setting `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps the equilibrium offset `m x`. The §7.2 extra-process contribution `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. Lasting level change via that extra process requires `ε < 0`. Precisely `ε = 0` causes computational problems in the printed specification. The extra-process observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` is not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`, not the contribution, and not the evolved-plus-contribution latent mean. The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. Table 2 `asymCINT` `-κ / a` is the intercept contribution to the stationary process mean. It is not `κ`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. Lasting asymptotic intercept change via that map requires `a < 0`. Page 16 notes that a `T0MEANS` stationarity constraint includes time-independent predictors; that composition is not this intercept-only map. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion mean `-κ / a + −B z / a` is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` is not `τ + λ μ_0`, not `τ + λ(−κ / a)` when `B z ≠ 0`, not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `MANIFESTMEANS`, and not the constrained latent mean. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, not later-occasion variance, not `e^{a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. A zero-diffusion carry with `a ≥ 0` is `e^{a Δt} p_0` and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined lagged latent covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary first-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not free `p_0`, not lagged covariance, and not later-occasion variance. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay and do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary first-occasion map. As `Δt → 0+` the lagged and later maps approach this composition. Trait-only variance does not require a stable drift. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined first-occasion latent variance, not stationary first-occasion observed variance, and not predetermined later observed variance when `p_0` is free. The later-start lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` is not first-occasion lagged covariance when `u > 0`, not later-occasion variance, not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, and not `e^{a s}` of the later total. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a s}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches first-occasion lagged covariance. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start lagged latent covariance, not first-occasion lagged observed covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-start later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` is not later-occasion variance at `u` when `s > 0`, not later-start lagged covariance, not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a s}` of the later total plus `Q_s`, and not later-occasion variance over the lag interval alone when `u > 0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_s`. Chapman–Kolmogorov writes `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance over `s`. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start later-occasion latent variance, not predetermined later observed variance, not later-start lagged observed covariance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free.

A zero coefficient or zero predictor variance is exactly zero. Free `T0TIPREDEFFECT` does not require `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is `addedTIPREDVAR` and is not this first-occasion map. `t0_b · √v / √p_0` is `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` and is not this variance. Free `T0VAR` is not this extra TI variance. `TRAITVAR` is not this extra TI variance. Equation 5 of 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `λ² t0_b² v`. Form `t0_b² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. `t0_b² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² p_0 + θ` is first-occasion observed variance, not this extra. `λ² (B / a)² v` is Eq. 5 of `addedTIPREDVAR`, not this first-occasion observed extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Equation 5 of §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` is `λ² (B / a)² v`. Form `(B / a)² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. Lasting asymptotic extra requires `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² t0_b² v` is first-occasion extra observed TI variance, not this extra. `λ² p + θ` is stationary observed variance, not this extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Page 16 `TDPREDEFFECTstd` is `m · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive time-dependent predictor variance `v` (footnote 4: standardise using only the relevant variance, not the total; the affecting variance is the TD predictor; the affected variance is `asymDIFFUSION`).

Unstandardised `TRAITVAR` is defined for a zero trait and is not `TRAITVARstd`. Zero `TRAITVAR` fails closed. Distinct positive `trait` recover the same 1. `T0VARstd` `p_0 / p_0 = 1` recovers the same number and remains a distinct named quantity. `addedT0TIPREDVAR` `t0_b² v` is extra TI variance, not this correlation. `TRAITVAR` does not require `a < 0`.

Unstandardised `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is defined for a zero trait and is not `MANIFESTTRAITVARstd`. Zero `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` fails closed. Distinct positive `ψ` recover the same 1. `TRAITVARstd` `trait / trait = 1` recovers the same number and remains a distinct named quantity. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is measurement error, not this correlation. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` does not require `a < 0`. +This is two-level OLS and a noiseless scalar continuous-time map. It is not DSEM, not RI-CLPM, not a random-effects sampler, not a Kalman filter, and not a matrix `expm` implementation. The CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the **contextual** effect, not the between-cluster effect. Discrete lags from different event intervals are not one coefficient. Equation 14 is not Equation 12. Discrete process noise \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the continuous diffusion \(GG^{\top}\). \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is the conditional residual variance, not \(\operatorname{Var}(\eta_{t})\). Finite-interval \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the stationary within-subject variance. Trait variance is not process noise and not the stationary within-subject variance. Measurement-error variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Latent variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Manifest means are not the observed-indicator mean. The latent mean is not the observed-indicator mean. The continuous intercept is not the manifest mean. The first-occasion latent mean is not the evolved latent mean. The continuous intercept is not the discrete mean increment. The first-occasion observed mean is not the evolved observed mean. The contemporaneous `TDPREDEFFECT` impulse is not the continuous intercept, not the time-independent discrete effect, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The time-independent `TIPREDEFFECT` increment is not the continuous intercept, not the contemporaneous impulse, not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14), and not the coefficient `B`. The within-interval `TDPREDEFFECT` carry `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the contemporaneous-impulse observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not the impulse-carry observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` when `u ≠ t`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the impulse-carry observed mean. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the time-independent-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TIPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_b z` is not the Eq. 3 process increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `κ`, and not `M x`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z` and is not that process increment. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TI-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-T0TIPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TDPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `κ`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0` and is not that within-interval impulse carry. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TD-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. Same numbers as `T0TIPREDEFFECT` yield the same product; Table 3 names a different matrix. The evolved-plus-T0TDPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The §7.2 level-change `CINT` `κ = −a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Lasting level change via that `CINT` setting requires `a < 0`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not that `CINT` setting. The Eq. 3 increment of that setting `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps the equilibrium offset `m x`. The §7.2 extra-process contribution `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. Lasting level change via that extra process requires `ε < 0`. Precisely `ε = 0` causes computational problems in the printed specification. The extra-process observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` is not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`, not the contribution, and not the evolved-plus-contribution latent mean. The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. Table 2 `asymCINT` `-κ / a` is the intercept contribution to the stationary process mean. It is not `κ`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. Lasting asymptotic intercept change via that map requires `a < 0`. Page 16 notes that a `T0MEANS` stationarity constraint includes time-independent predictors; that composition is not this intercept-only map. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion mean `-κ / a + −B z / a` is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` is not `τ + λ μ_0`, not `τ + λ(−κ / a)` when `B z ≠ 0`, not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `MANIFESTMEANS`, and not the constrained latent mean. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, not later-occasion variance, not `e^{a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. A zero-diffusion carry with `a ≥ 0` is `e^{a Δt} p_0` and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined lagged latent covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary first-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not free `p_0`, not lagged covariance, and not later-occasion variance. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay and do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary first-occasion map. As `Δt → 0+` the lagged and later maps approach this composition. Trait-only variance does not require a stable drift. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined first-occasion latent variance, not stationary first-occasion observed variance, and not predetermined later observed variance when `p_0` is free. The later-start lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` is not first-occasion lagged covariance when `u > 0`, not later-occasion variance, not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, and not `e^{a s}` of the later total. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a s}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches first-occasion lagged covariance. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start lagged latent covariance, not first-occasion lagged observed covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-start later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` is not later-occasion variance at `u` when `s > 0`, not later-start lagged covariance, not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a s}` of the later total plus `Q_s`, and not later-occasion variance over the lag interval alone when `u > 0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_s`. Chapman–Kolmogorov writes `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance over `s`. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start later-occasion latent variance, not predetermined later observed variance, not later-start lagged observed covariance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free.

The 2017-era `summary.ctsemFit.R` forms `TIPREDVARstd` whenever `verbose = TRUE` and `n.TIpred > 0`, as `solve(sqrt(diag(TIPREDVAR) + ridging)) %&% TIPREDVAR`. OpenMx `%&%` is the quadratic form `t(A) %*% B %*% A`. Unlike `TRAITVARstd`, that formation adds `diag(c(ridging), n.TIpred)`. The default `ridging = FALSE` adds 0, not `0.0001`; that ridge is a numerical hack and is not this exact map. The 2017-era source assigns `dimnames(TIPREDVARstd)` to `TIpredNames`; that assignment matches the `n.TIpred × n.TIpred` matrix and is this map. The scalar correlation is `v / v = 1` after strictly positive `TIPREDVAR`. Form strictly positive `v` first, then `1 / √v`, then `(1 / √v) v (1 / √v)`. Unstandardised `TIPREDVAR` is defined for a zero predictor; standardised `TIPREDVAR` is not. Zero `v` makes `solve(sqrt(0))` fail in the 2017-era source and fails closed here. Unlike `TRAITVAR` / `MANIFESTTRAITVAR`, that source does not skip forming `TIPREDVARstd` when `v = 0`. Predictor variance is an event-time structural quantity, so a non-event clock fails closed. `TIPREDVAR` does not require stable `a < 0`. Distinct positive `v` recover the same 1. `MANIFESTVARstd` `θ / θ = 1` recovers the same number and remains a distinct named quantity.

This is two-group OLS, not MGCFA. Meredith (1993) names remain unread labels. -- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Later-start lagged covariance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T10:27Z). First-occasion lagged omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Later-occasion variance does not lag. Stationary lagged uses `−q / (2 a)`. Decaying the later total is not that map. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²` of it plus `ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. First-occasion lagged observed omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Later-start later-occasion variance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 3–4 Chapman–Kolmogorov `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:05Z). Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s`. Later-start lagged covariance omits `Q_s`. Stationary later uses `−q / (2 a)`. Evolving the later total as if it were all state is not that map. Ignoring `startoffset` omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance is `λ²` of it plus `θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that observed variance. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; footnote 4; §7.1; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:40Z). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `discreteDIFFUSIONstd` is `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:06Z). Unstandardised `Q_Δt` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. The continuous standardisation `−2 a` is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `Q_Δt / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DIFFUSIONstd` is `q / (−q / (2 a)) = −2 a` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:20Z). Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` depends on `Δt` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DRIFTstd` is the continuous auto-effect after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 1; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:28Z). Unstandardised `a` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DRIFTstd`. The discrete standardisation `e^{a Δt}` depends on the event interval and is not `DRIFTstd`. `a p / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` is `(-B / a) · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T14:25Z). Unstandardised `-B / a` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `(-B / a) · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T16:21Z). Unstandardised `B` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The asymptotic standardisation `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `B · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 / Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_b · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` `p_0` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; footnote 4; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T17:20Z). The affected variance is free first-occasion `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`. Unstandardised `t0_b` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` is the continuous coefficient and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `t0_b · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `t0_b² v` after a first-occasion time-independent predictor (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; §7.2; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T18:20Z). Form `t0_b` first, then square, then multiply by `v`. A zero coefficient or zero predictor variance is exactly zero. Free `T0TIPREDEFFECT` does not require `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is `addedTIPREDVAR` and is not this first-occasion map. `t0_b · √v / √p_0` is `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` and is not this variance. Free `T0VAR` is not this extra TI variance. `TRAITVAR` is not this extra TI variance. Equation 5 of 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `λ² t0_b² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 3, p. 13; Table 2, p. 12; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T19:10Z). Form `t0_b² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. `t0_b² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² p_0 + θ` is first-occasion observed variance, not this extra. `λ² (B / a)² v` is Eq. 5 of `addedTIPREDVAR`, not this first-occasion observed extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Equation 5 of §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` is `λ² (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12; §7.2, pp. 20–21; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T19:23Z). Form `(B / a)² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. Lasting asymptotic extra requires `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² t0_b² v` is first-occasion extra observed TI variance, not this extra. `λ² p + θ` is stationary observed variance, not this extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Page 16 `TDPREDEFFECTstd` is `m · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` and strictly positive time-dependent predictor variance. Unstandardised `M` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd` even when `M = B`. intercept-style `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] M · √v / √p` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `m · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. Table 3 / p. 16 `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_m · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` and strictly positive TD predictor variance. Unstandardised `t0_m` is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `TDPREDEFFECTstd` uses `asymDIFFUSION` and is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd` even when `t0_m = t0_b`. `t0_m · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. Free `T0VAR` does not require `a < 0`. Page 16 `T0VARstd` is `p_0 / p_0 = 1` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` (`solve(sqrt(diag(T0VAR))) %&% T0VAR`; OpenMx `%&%` is `t(A) %*% B %*% A`; the default ridge is 0). Unstandardised `T0VAR` is not `T0VARstd`. `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd` is not `T0VARstd`. `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is not `T0VARstd`. Page 16 `TRAITVARstd` is `trait / trait = 1` after strictly positive `TRAITVAR` (`solve(sqrt(diag(TRAITVAR))) %&% TRAITVAR`; OpenMx `%&%` is `t(A) %*% B %*% A`; no ridge addend). Unstandardised `TRAITVAR` is not `TRAITVARstd`. `T0VARstd` is not `TRAITVARstd` even when both equal 1. `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is not `TRAITVARstd`. Page 16 `MANIFESTTRAITVARstd` is `ψ / ψ = 1` after strictly positive `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` (`solve(sqrt(diag(MANIFESTTRAITVAR))) %&% MANIFESTTRAITVAR`; OpenMx `%&%` is `t(A) %*% B %*% A`; 2017-era source adds ridging; default ridge is 0). Unstandardised `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is not `MANIFESTTRAITVARstd`. `TRAITVARstd` is not `MANIFESTTRAITVARstd` even when both equal 1. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `MANIFESTTRAITVARstd`. Page 16 `MANIFESTVARstd` is `θ / θ = 1` after strictly positive `MANIFESTVAR` (`solve(sqrt(diag(MANIFESTVAR))) %&% MANIFESTVAR`; OpenMx `%&%` is `t(A) %*% B %*% A`; 2017-era source adds ridging; default ridge is 0; 2017-era `dimnames` assignment to `latentNames` is a source bug). Unstandardised `MANIFESTVAR` is not `MANIFESTVARstd`. `MANIFESTTRAITVARstd` is not `MANIFESTVARstd` even when both equal 1. Equation 5 `Var(y)` is not `MANIFESTVARstd`. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. +- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Later-start lagged covariance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T10:27Z). First-occasion lagged omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Later-occasion variance does not lag. Stationary lagged uses `−q / (2 a)`. Decaying the later total is not that map. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²` of it plus `ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. First-occasion lagged observed omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Later-start later-occasion variance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 3–4 Chapman–Kolmogorov `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:05Z). Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s`. Later-start lagged covariance omits `Q_s`. Stationary later uses `−q / (2 a)`. Evolving the later total as if it were all state is not that map. Ignoring `startoffset` omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance is `λ²` of it plus `θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that observed variance. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; footnote 4; §7.1; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:40Z). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `discreteDIFFUSIONstd` is `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:06Z). Unstandardised `Q_Δt` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. The continuous standardisation `−2 a` is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `Q_Δt / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DIFFUSIONstd` is `q / (−q / (2 a)) = −2 a` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:20Z). Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` depends on `Δt` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DRIFTstd` is the continuous auto-effect after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 1; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:28Z). Unstandardised `a` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DRIFTstd`. The discrete standardisation `e^{a Δt}` depends on the event interval and is not `DRIFTstd`. `a p / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` is `(-B / a) · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T14:25Z). Unstandardised `-B / a` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `(-B / a) · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T16:21Z). Unstandardised `B` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The asymptotic standardisation `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `B · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 / Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_b · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` `p_0` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; footnote 4; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T17:20Z). The affected variance is free first-occasion `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`. Unstandardised `t0_b` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` is the continuous coefficient and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `t0_b · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `t0_b² v` after a first-occasion time-independent predictor (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; §7.2; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T18:20Z). Form `t0_b` first, then square, then multiply by `v`. A zero coefficient or zero predictor variance is exactly zero. Free `T0TIPREDEFFECT` does not require `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is `addedTIPREDVAR` and is not this first-occasion map. `t0_b · √v / √p_0` is `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` and is not this variance. Free `T0VAR` is not this extra TI variance. `TRAITVAR` is not this extra TI variance. Equation 5 of 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `λ² t0_b² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 3, p. 13; Table 2, p. 12; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T19:10Z). Form `t0_b² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. `t0_b² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² p_0 + θ` is first-occasion observed variance, not this extra. `λ² (B / a)² v` is Eq. 5 of `addedTIPREDVAR`, not this first-occasion observed extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra.

The first-order product `a_yx Δt` is Eq. 14 and the underflow limit of Eq. 12, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. Already-centered residuals may have irregular event intervals. Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series is not the lagged within-person residual (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608). Metric/weak invariance licenses shared metric meaning only. Latent-mean comparison requires strong (equal loading and intercept) or strict invariance (Putnick & Bornstein, 2016, PMC5145197 opened 2026-08-19T22:15Z: scalar is required for latent means; residual invariance is not). Two-observation series have no residual degrees of freedom and cap at strong/scalar; identically-zero OLS residual variance is not strict. This two-group OLS gate is not MGCFA. +The executable multilevel slice is cluster-mean centering (CWC) plus within/between OLS, the CWC contextual effect (`between − within`), and Kish-weighted slopes. Enders and Tofighi (2007, Table 2, pp. 124–127) show that the CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the contextual effect, not the between-cluster effect. It is not DSEM and not RI-CLPM. The executable temporal slice maps a discrete lag through the exact scalar exponential `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time only (Voelkle, Oud, Davidov, & Schmidt, 2012, Eq. 7; Driver, Oud, & Voelkle, 2017, Eq. 3), recovers the forward map `φ(Δt) = exp(a Δt)`, remaps a discrete lag onto another event interval through that log-rate, recovers the exact scalar discrete effect of a constant predictor (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 12) as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows, and in log space when `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z` (`a_yx = 0` is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed), recovers the first-order discrete effect of a time-varying predictor with matched sampling and constancy intervals as `a_yx Δt` (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 14; ZORA accepted manuscript p. 21; not Eq. 12; unmatched intervals fail closed because Oud & Jansen, 2000, is unread), recovers the exact scalar discrete process noise `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3;

§4.3 T0VAR stationarity; when `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`; CodeRabbit on `75ecdd3`); when `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`; do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)`, `a = -from_bits(1)` → `0.5`); `a ≥ 0` and finite-interval `Q_Δt` fail closed as that limit), recovers the exact scalar trait-plus-state variance `trait + state` and lagged covariance `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9;

Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series is not the lagged within-person residual (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608). Metric/weak invariance licenses shared metric meaning only. Latent-mean comparison requires strong (equal loading and intercept) or strict invariance (Putnick & Bornstein, 2016, PMC5145197 opened 2026-08-19T22:15Z: scalar is required for latent means; residual invariance is not). Two-observation series have no residual degrees of freedom and cap at strong/scalar; identically-zero OLS residual variance is not strict. This two-group OLS gate is not MGCFA.

The first-occasion TI composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. Same numbers as `T0TIPREDEFFECT` yield the same product; Table 3 names a different matrix. The evolved-plus-T0TDPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The §7.2 level-change `CINT` `κ = −a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Lasting level change via that `CINT` setting requires `a < 0`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not that `CINT` setting. The Eq. 3 increment of that setting `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps the equilibrium offset `m x`. The §7.2 extra-process contribution `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. Lasting level change via that extra process requires `ε < 0`. Precisely `ε = 0` causes computational problems in the printed specification. The extra-process observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` is not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`, not the contribution, and not the evolved-plus-contribution latent mean. The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. Table 2 `asymCINT` `-κ / a` is the intercept contribution to the stationary process mean. It is not `κ`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. Lasting asymptotic intercept change via that map requires `a < 0`. Page 16 notes that a `T0MEANS` stationarity constraint includes time-independent predictors; that composition is not this intercept-only map. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion mean `-κ / a + −B z / a` is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` is not `τ + λ μ_0`, not `τ + λ(−κ / a)` when `B z ≠ 0`, not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `MANIFESTMEANS`, and not the constrained latent mean. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, not later-occasion variance, not `e^{a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. A zero-diffusion carry with `a ≥ 0` is `e^{a Δt} p_0` and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined lagged latent covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary first-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not free `p_0`, not lagged covariance, and not later-occasion variance. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay and do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary first-occasion map. As `Δt → 0+` the lagged and later maps approach this composition. Trait-only variance does not require a stable drift. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined first-occasion latent variance, not stationary first-occasion observed variance, and not predetermined later observed variance when `p_0` is free. The later-start lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` is not first-occasion lagged covariance when `u > 0`, not later-occasion variance, not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, and not `e^{a s}` of the later total. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a s}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches first-occasion lagged covariance. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start lagged latent covariance, not first-occasion lagged observed covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-start later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` is not later-occasion variance at `u` when `s > 0`, not later-start lagged covariance, not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a s}` of the later total plus `Q_s`, and not later-occasion variance over the lag interval alone when `u > 0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_s`. Chapman–Kolmogorov writes `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance over `s`. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start later-occasion latent variance, not predetermined later observed variance, not later-start lagged observed covariance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free.

Page 16 `MANIFESTTRAITVARstd` is the correlation form `solve(sqrt(diag(MANIFESTTRAITVAR))) %&% MANIFESTTRAITVAR` after strictly positive `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` (2017-era `summary.ctsemFit.R` forms it only when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR != 0`; OpenMx `%&%` is `t(A) %*% B %*% A`; unlike `TRAITVARstd` the 2017-era source adds ridging; the default ridge is 0; the scalar map is `ψ / ψ = 1`). Unstandardised `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is defined for a zero trait and is not `MANIFESTTRAITVARstd`. Zero `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` fails closed. Distinct positive `ψ` recover the same 1. `TRAITVARstd` `trait / trait = 1` recovers the same number and remains a distinct named quantity. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is measurement error, not this correlation. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` does not require `a < 0`.

Unstandardised `MANIFESTVAR` is defined for a zero residual and is not `MANIFESTVARstd`. Zero `MANIFESTVAR` makes `solve(sqrt(0))` fail and fails closed. Distinct positive `θ` recover the same 1. `MANIFESTTRAITVARstd` `ψ / ψ = 1` recovers the same number and remains a distinct named quantity. Equation 5 `λ² Var(η) + θ` is `Var(y)`, not this correlation. `MANIFESTVAR` does not require `a < 0`. +This is two-level OLS and a noiseless scalar continuous-time map. It is not DSEM, not RI-CLPM, not a random-effects sampler, not a Kalman filter, and not a matrix `expm` implementation. The CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the **contextual** effect, not the between-cluster effect. Discrete lags from different event intervals are not one coefficient. Equation 14 is not Equation 12. Discrete process noise \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the continuous diffusion \(GG^{\top}\). \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is the conditional residual variance, not \(\operatorname{Var}(\eta_{t})\). Finite-interval \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the stationary within-subject variance. Trait variance is not process noise and not the stationary within-subject variance. Measurement-error variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Latent variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Manifest means are not the observed-indicator mean. The latent mean is not the observed-indicator mean. The continuous intercept is not the manifest mean. The first-occasion latent mean is not the evolved latent mean. The continuous intercept is not the discrete mean increment. The first-occasion observed mean is not the evolved observed mean. The contemporaneous `TDPREDEFFECT` impulse is not the continuous intercept, not the time-independent discrete effect, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The time-independent `TIPREDEFFECT` increment is not the continuous intercept, not the contemporaneous impulse, not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14), and not the coefficient `B`. The within-interval `TDPREDEFFECT` carry `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the contemporaneous-impulse observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not the impulse-carry observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` when `u ≠ t`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the impulse-carry observed mean. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the time-independent-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TIPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_b z` is not the Eq. 3 process increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `κ`, and not `M x`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z` and is not that process increment. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TI-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-T0TIPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TDPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `κ`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0` and is not that within-interval impulse carry. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TD-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. Same numbers as `T0TIPREDEFFECT` yield the same product; Table 3 names a different matrix. The evolved-plus-T0TDPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The §7.2 level-change `CINT` `κ = −a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Lasting level change via that `CINT` setting requires `a < 0`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not that `CINT` setting. The Eq. 3 increment of that setting `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps the equilibrium offset `m x`. The §7.2 extra-process contribution `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. Lasting level change via that extra process requires `ε < 0`. Precisely `ε = 0` causes computational problems in the printed specification. The extra-process observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` is not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`, not the contribution, and not the evolved-plus-contribution latent mean. The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. Table 2 `asymCINT` `-κ / a` is the intercept contribution to the stationary process mean. It is not `κ`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. Lasting asymptotic intercept change via that map requires `a < 0`. Page 16 notes that a `T0MEANS` stationarity constraint includes time-independent predictors; that composition is not this intercept-only map. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion mean `-κ / a + −B z / a` is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` is not `τ + λ μ_0`, not `τ + λ(−κ / a)` when `B z ≠ 0`, not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `MANIFESTMEANS`, and not the constrained latent mean. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, not later-occasion variance, not `e^{a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. A zero-diffusion carry with `a ≥ 0` is `e^{a Δt} p_0` and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined lagged latent covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary first-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not free `p_0`, not lagged covariance, and not later-occasion variance. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay and do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary first-occasion map. As `Δt → 0+` the lagged and later maps approach this composition. Trait-only variance does not require a stable drift. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined first-occasion latent variance, not stationary first-occasion observed variance, and not predetermined later observed variance when `p_0` is free. The later-start lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` is not first-occasion lagged covariance when `u > 0`, not later-occasion variance, not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, and not `e^{a s}` of the later total. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a s}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches first-occasion lagged covariance. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start lagged latent covariance, not first-occasion lagged observed covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-start later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` is not later-occasion variance at `u` when `s > 0`, not later-start lagged covariance, not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a s}` of the later total plus `Q_s`, and not later-occasion variance over the lag interval alone when `u > 0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_s`. Chapman–Kolmogorov writes `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance over `s`. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start later-occasion latent variance, not predetermined later observed variance, not later-start lagged observed covariance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free.

Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a)) = 1 − exp(2 a Δt)` depends on the event interval and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance.

A zero coefficient or zero predictor variance is exactly zero. Free `T0TIPREDEFFECT` does not require `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is `addedTIPREDVAR` and is not this first-occasion map. `t0_b · √v / √p_0` is `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` and is not this variance. Free `T0VAR` is not this extra TI variance. `TRAITVAR` is not this extra TI variance. Equation 5 of 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `λ² t0_b² v`. Form `t0_b² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. `t0_b² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² p_0 + θ` is first-occasion observed variance, not this extra. `λ² (B / a)² v` is Eq. 5 of `addedTIPREDVAR`, not this first-occasion observed extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Equation 5 of §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` is `λ² (B / a)² v`. Form `(B / a)² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. Lasting asymptotic extra requires `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² t0_b² v` is first-occasion extra observed TI variance, not this extra. `λ² p + θ` is stationary observed variance, not this extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Page 16 `TDPREDEFFECTstd` is `m · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive time-dependent predictor variance `v` (footnote 4: standardise using only the relevant variance, not the total; the affecting variance is the TD predictor; the affected variance is `asymDIFFUSION`). Unstandardised `M` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` `B · √v / √p` is a different named matrix even when `M = B`.

Page 16 names `asymDIFFUSION` the total within-subject variance as `Δt → ∞` and prints standardised matrices with the suffix `std` when appropriate. Footnote 4 standardises using only the relevant variance, not the total. The 2017-era `summary.ctsemFit.R` forms `asymDIFFUSIONstd` whenever `verbose = TRUE`, as `solve(sqrt(diag(asymDIFFUSION) + ridging)) %&% asymDIFFUSION`. OpenMx `%&%` is the quadratic form `t(A) %*% B %*% A`. That formation adds `diag(c(ridging), n.latent)`. The default `ridging = FALSE` adds 0, not `0.0001`; that ridge is a numerical hack and is not this exact map. The 2017-era source assigns `dimnames(asymDIFFUSIONstd)` to `latentNames`; that assignment matches the `n.latent × n.latent` matrix and is this map. The scalar correlation is `p / p = 1` after strictly positive Lyapunov `p = −q / (2 a)`. Form strictly positive `p` first, then `1 / √p`, then `(1 / √p) p (1 / √p)`. Unstandardised `asymDIFFUSION` is defined for a zero process; standardised `asymDIFFUSION` is not. Zero `q` makes `solve(sqrt(0))` fail in the 2017-era source and fails closed here. That source does not skip forming `asymDIFFUSIONstd` when `p = 0`. Within-subject variance is an event-time structural quantity, so a non-event clock fails closed. Lasting `asymDIFFUSION` requires stable `a < 0`. Distinct positive `p` recover the same 1. `TIPREDVARstd` `v / v = 1` recovers the same number and remains a distinct named quantity. `DIFFUSIONstd` `q / p = −2 a` is the continuous-diffusion ratio, not this correlation.

This is two-group OLS, not MGCFA. Meredith (1993) names remain unread labels. -- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Later-start lagged covariance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T10:27Z). First-occasion lagged omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Later-occasion variance does not lag. Stationary lagged uses `−q / (2 a)`. Decaying the later total is not that map. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²` of it plus `ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. First-occasion lagged observed omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Later-start later-occasion variance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 3–4 Chapman–Kolmogorov `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:05Z). Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s`. Later-start lagged covariance omits `Q_s`. Stationary later uses `−q / (2 a)`. Evolving the later total as if it were all state is not that map. Ignoring `startoffset` omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance is `λ²` of it plus `θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that observed variance. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; footnote 4; §7.1; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:40Z). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `discreteDIFFUSIONstd` is `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:06Z). Unstandardised `Q_Δt` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. The continuous standardisation `−2 a` is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `Q_Δt / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DIFFUSIONstd` is `q / (−q / (2 a)) = −2 a` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:20Z). Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` depends on `Δt` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DRIFTstd` is the continuous auto-effect after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 1; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:28Z). Unstandardised `a` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DRIFTstd`. The discrete standardisation `e^{a Δt}` depends on the event interval and is not `DRIFTstd`. `a p / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` is `(-B / a) · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T14:25Z). Unstandardised `-B / a` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `(-B / a) · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T16:21Z). Unstandardised `B` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The asymptotic standardisation `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `B · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 / Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_b · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` `p_0` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; footnote 4; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T17:20Z). The affected variance is free first-occasion `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`. Unstandardised `t0_b` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` is the continuous coefficient and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `t0_b · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `t0_b² v` after a first-occasion time-independent predictor (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; §7.2; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T18:20Z). Form `t0_b` first, then square, then multiply by `v`. A zero coefficient or zero predictor variance is exactly zero. Free `T0TIPREDEFFECT` does not require `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is `addedTIPREDVAR` and is not this first-occasion map. `t0_b · √v / √p_0` is `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` and is not this variance. Free `T0VAR` is not this extra TI variance. `TRAITVAR` is not this extra TI variance. Equation 5 of 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `λ² t0_b² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 3, p. 13; Table 2, p. 12; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T19:10Z). Form `t0_b² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. `t0_b² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² p_0 + θ` is first-occasion observed variance, not this extra. `λ² (B / a)² v` is Eq. 5 of `addedTIPREDVAR`, not this first-occasion observed extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Equation 5 of §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` is `λ² (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12; §7.2, pp. 20–21; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T19:23Z). Form `(B / a)² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. Lasting asymptotic extra requires `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² t0_b² v` is first-occasion extra observed TI variance, not this extra. `λ² p + θ` is stationary observed variance, not this extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Page 16 `TDPREDEFFECTstd` is `m · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` and strictly positive time-dependent predictor variance. Unstandardised `M` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd` even when `M = B`. intercept-style `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] M · √v / √p` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `m · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. Table 3 / p. 16 `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_m · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` and strictly positive TD predictor variance. Unstandardised `t0_m` is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `TDPREDEFFECTstd` uses `asymDIFFUSION` and is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd` even when `t0_m = t0_b`. `t0_m · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. Free `T0VAR` does not require `a < 0`. Page 16 `T0VARstd` is `p_0 / p_0 = 1` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` (`solve(sqrt(diag(T0VAR))) %&% T0VAR`; OpenMx `%&%` is `t(A) %*% B %*% A`; the default ridge is 0). Unstandardised `T0VAR` is not `T0VARstd`. `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd` is not `T0VARstd`. `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is not `T0VARstd`. Page 16 `TRAITVARstd` is `trait / trait = 1` after strictly positive `TRAITVAR` (`solve(sqrt(diag(TRAITVAR))) %&% TRAITVAR`; OpenMx `%&%` is `t(A) %*% B %*% A`; no ridge addend). Unstandardised `TRAITVAR` is not `TRAITVARstd`. `T0VARstd` is not `TRAITVARstd` even when both equal 1. `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is not `TRAITVARstd`. Page 16 `MANIFESTTRAITVARstd` is `ψ / ψ = 1` after strictly positive `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` (`solve(sqrt(diag(MANIFESTTRAITVAR))) %&% MANIFESTTRAITVAR`; OpenMx `%&%` is `t(A) %*% B %*% A`; 2017-era source adds ridging; default ridge is 0). Unstandardised `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is not `MANIFESTTRAITVARstd`. `TRAITVARstd` is not `MANIFESTTRAITVARstd` even when both equal 1. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `MANIFESTTRAITVARstd`. Page 16 `MANIFESTVARstd` is `θ / θ = 1` after strictly positive `MANIFESTVAR` (`solve(sqrt(diag(MANIFESTVAR))) %&% MANIFESTVAR`; OpenMx `%&%` is `t(A) %*% B %*% A`; 2017-era source adds ridging; default ridge is 0; 2017-era `dimnames` assignment to `latentNames` is a source bug). Unstandardised `MANIFESTVAR` is not `MANIFESTVARstd`. `MANIFESTTRAITVARstd` is not `MANIFESTVARstd` even when both equal 1. Equation 5 `Var(y)` is not `MANIFESTVARstd`. Page 16 `TIPREDVARstd` is `v / v = 1` after strictly positive `TIPREDVAR` (`solve(sqrt(diag(TIPREDVAR))) %&% TIPREDVAR`; OpenMx `%&%` is `t(A) %*% B %*% A`; 2017-era source adds ridging; default ridge is 0; `dimnames` are `TIpredNames`). Unstandardised `TIPREDVAR` is not `TIPREDVARstd`. `MANIFESTVARstd` is not `TIPREDVARstd` even when both equal 1. Section 7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` is not `TIPREDVARstd`. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. +- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Later-start lagged covariance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T10:27Z). First-occasion lagged omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Later-occasion variance does not lag. Stationary lagged uses `−q / (2 a)`. Decaying the later total is not that map. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²` of it plus `ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. First-occasion lagged observed omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Later-start later-occasion variance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 3–4 Chapman–Kolmogorov `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:05Z). Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s`. Later-start lagged covariance omits `Q_s`. Stationary later uses `−q / (2 a)`. Evolving the later total as if it were all state is not that map. Ignoring `startoffset` omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance is `λ²` of it plus `θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that observed variance. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; footnote 4; §7.1; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:40Z). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `discreteDIFFUSIONstd` is `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:06Z). Unstandardised `Q_Δt` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. The continuous standardisation `−2 a` is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `Q_Δt / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DIFFUSIONstd` is `q / (−q / (2 a)) = −2 a` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:20Z). Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` depends on `Δt` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DRIFTstd` is the continuous auto-effect after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 1; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:28Z). Unstandardised `a` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DRIFTstd`. The discrete standardisation `e^{a Δt}` depends on the event interval and is not `DRIFTstd`. `a p / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` is `(-B / a) · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T14:25Z). Unstandardised `-B / a` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `(-B / a) · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T16:21Z). Unstandardised `B` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The asymptotic standardisation `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `B · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 / Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_b · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` `p_0` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; footnote 4; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T17:20Z). The affected variance is free first-occasion `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`. Unstandardised `t0_b` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` is the continuous coefficient and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `t0_b · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `t0_b² v` after a first-occasion time-independent predictor (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; §7.2; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T18:20Z). Form `t0_b` first, then square, then multiply by `v`. A zero coefficient or zero predictor variance is exactly zero. Free `T0TIPREDEFFECT` does not require `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is `addedTIPREDVAR` and is not this first-occasion map. `t0_b · √v / √p_0` is `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` and is not this variance. Free `T0VAR` is not this extra TI variance. `TRAITVAR` is not this extra TI variance. Equation 5 of 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `λ² t0_b² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 3, p. 13; Table 2, p. 12; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T19:10Z). Form `t0_b² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. `t0_b² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² p_0 + θ` is first-occasion observed variance, not this extra. `λ² (B / a)² v` is Eq. 5 of `addedTIPREDVAR`, not this first-occasion observed extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra.

The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0` and is not that within-interval impulse carry. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift.

The first-occasion TI composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. Same numbers as `T0TIPREDEFFECT` yield the same product; Table 3 names a different matrix. The evolved-plus-T0TDPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The §7.2 level-change `CINT` `κ = −a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Lasting level change via that `CINT` setting requires `a < 0`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not that `CINT` setting. The Eq. 3 increment of that setting `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps the equilibrium offset `m x`. The §7.2 extra-process contribution `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. Lasting level change via that extra process requires `ε < 0`. Precisely `ε = 0` causes computational problems in the printed specification. The extra-process observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` is not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`, not the contribution, and not the evolved-plus-contribution latent mean. The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. Table 2 `asymCINT` `-κ / a` is the intercept contribution to the stationary process mean. It is not `κ`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. Lasting asymptotic intercept change via that map requires `a < 0`. Page 16 notes that a `T0MEANS` stationarity constraint includes time-independent predictors; that composition is not this intercept-only map. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion mean `-κ / a + −B z / a` is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` is not `τ + λ μ_0`, not `τ + λ(−κ / a)` when `B z ≠ 0`, not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `MANIFESTMEANS`, and not the constrained latent mean. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, not later-occasion variance, not `e^{a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. A zero-diffusion carry with `a ≥ 0` is `e^{a Δt} p_0` and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined lagged latent covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary first-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not free `p_0`, not lagged covariance, and not later-occasion variance. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay and do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary first-occasion map. As `Δt → 0+` the lagged and later maps approach this composition. Trait-only variance does not require a stable drift. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined first-occasion latent variance, not stationary first-occasion observed variance, and not predetermined later observed variance when `p_0` is free. The later-start lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` is not first-occasion lagged covariance when `u > 0`, not later-occasion variance, not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, and not `e^{a s}` of the later total. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a s}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches first-occasion lagged covariance. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start lagged latent covariance, not first-occasion lagged observed covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-start later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` is not later-occasion variance at `u` when `s > 0`, not later-start lagged covariance, not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a s}` of the later total plus `Q_s`, and not later-occasion variance over the lag interval alone when `u > 0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_s`. Chapman–Kolmogorov writes `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance over `s`. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start later-occasion latent variance, not predetermined later observed variance, not later-start lagged observed covariance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free.

Section 7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is extra process variance, not this correlation. `TIPREDVAR` does not require `a < 0`. +This is two-level OLS and a noiseless scalar continuous-time map. It is not DSEM, not RI-CLPM, not a random-effects sampler, not a Kalman filter, and not a matrix `expm` implementation. The CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the **contextual** effect, not the between-cluster effect. Discrete lags from different event intervals are not one coefficient. Equation 14 is not Equation 12. Discrete process noise \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the continuous diffusion \(GG^{\top}\). \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is the conditional residual variance, not \(\operatorname{Var}(\eta_{t})\). Finite-interval \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the stationary within-subject variance. Trait variance is not process noise and not the stationary within-subject variance. Measurement-error variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Latent variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Manifest means are not the observed-indicator mean. The latent mean is not the observed-indicator mean. The continuous intercept is not the manifest mean. The first-occasion latent mean is not the evolved latent mean. The continuous intercept is not the discrete mean increment. The first-occasion observed mean is not the evolved observed mean. The contemporaneous `TDPREDEFFECT` impulse is not the continuous intercept, not the time-independent discrete effect, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The time-independent `TIPREDEFFECT` increment is not the continuous intercept, not the contemporaneous impulse, not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14), and not the coefficient `B`. The within-interval `TDPREDEFFECT` carry `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the contemporaneous-impulse observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not the impulse-carry observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` when `u ≠ t`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the impulse-carry observed mean. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the time-independent-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TIPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_b z` is not the Eq. 3 process increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `κ`, and not `M x`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z` and is not that process increment. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TI-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-T0TIPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TDPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `κ`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0` and is not that within-interval impulse carry. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TD-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. Same numbers as `T0TIPREDEFFECT` yield the same product; Table 3 names a different matrix. The evolved-plus-T0TDPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The §7.2 level-change `CINT` `κ = −a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Lasting level change via that `CINT` setting requires `a < 0`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not that `CINT` setting. The Eq. 3 increment of that setting `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps the equilibrium offset `m x`. The §7.2 extra-process contribution `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. Lasting level change via that extra process requires `ε < 0`. Precisely `ε = 0` causes computational problems in the printed specification. The extra-process observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` is not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`, not the contribution, and not the evolved-plus-contribution latent mean. The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. Table 2 `asymCINT` `-κ / a` is the intercept contribution to the stationary process mean. It is not `κ`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. Lasting asymptotic intercept change via that map requires `a < 0`. Page 16 notes that a `T0MEANS` stationarity constraint includes time-independent predictors; that composition is not this intercept-only map. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion mean `-κ / a + −B z / a` is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` is not `τ + λ μ_0`, not `τ + λ(−κ / a)` when `B z ≠ 0`, not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `MANIFESTMEANS`, and not the constrained latent mean. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, not later-occasion variance, not `e^{a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. A zero-diffusion carry with `a ≥ 0` is `e^{a Δt} p_0` and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined lagged latent covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary first-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not free `p_0`, not lagged covariance, and not later-occasion variance. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay and do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary first-occasion map. As `Δt → 0+` the lagged and later maps approach this composition. Trait-only variance does not require a stable drift. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined first-occasion latent variance, not stationary first-occasion observed variance, and not predetermined later observed variance when `p_0` is free. The later-start lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` is not first-occasion lagged covariance when `u > 0`, not later-occasion variance, not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, and not `e^{a s}` of the later total. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a s}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches first-occasion lagged covariance. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start lagged latent covariance, not first-occasion lagged observed covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-start later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` is not later-occasion variance at `u` when `s > 0`, not later-start lagged covariance, not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a s}` of the later total plus `Q_s`, and not later-occasion variance over the lag interval alone when `u > 0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_s`. Chapman–Kolmogorov writes `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance over `s`. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start later-occasion latent variance, not predetermined later observed variance, not later-start lagged observed covariance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free.

Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance.

Unstandardised `Q_Δt` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. The continuous standardisation `q / (−q / (2 a)) = −2 a` is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `Q_Δt / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DIFFUSIONstd` is `q / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (footnote 4: standardise process noise using only within-subject variance, not the total). Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a)) = 1 − exp(2 a Δt)` depends on the event interval and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DRIFTstd` is the continuous auto-effect after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (footnote 4: standardise `DRIFT` using only within-subject variance, not the total). Unstandardised `a` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DRIFTstd`. The discrete standardisation `e^{a Δt}` depends on the event interval and is not `DRIFTstd`. `a p / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance.

This is two-group OLS, not MGCFA. Meredith (1993) names remain unread labels. -- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Later-start lagged covariance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T10:27Z). First-occasion lagged omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Later-occasion variance does not lag. Stationary lagged uses `−q / (2 a)`. Decaying the later total is not that map. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²` of it plus `ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. First-occasion lagged observed omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Later-start later-occasion variance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 3–4 Chapman–Kolmogorov `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:05Z). Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s`. Later-start lagged covariance omits `Q_s`. Stationary later uses `−q / (2 a)`. Evolving the later total as if it were all state is not that map. Ignoring `startoffset` omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance is `λ²` of it plus `θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that observed variance. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; footnote 4; §7.1; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:40Z). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `discreteDIFFUSIONstd` is `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:06Z). Unstandardised `Q_Δt` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. The continuous standardisation `−2 a` is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `Q_Δt / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DIFFUSIONstd` is `q / (−q / (2 a)) = −2 a` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:20Z). Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` depends on `Δt` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DRIFTstd` is the continuous auto-effect after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 1; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:28Z). Unstandardised `a` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DRIFTstd`. The discrete standardisation `e^{a Δt}` depends on the event interval and is not `DRIFTstd`. `a p / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` is `(-B / a) · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T14:25Z). Unstandardised `-B / a` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `(-B / a) · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T16:21Z). Unstandardised `B` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The asymptotic standardisation `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `B · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 / Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_b · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` `p_0` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; footnote 4; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T17:20Z). The affected variance is free first-occasion `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`. Unstandardised `t0_b` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` is the continuous coefficient and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `t0_b · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `t0_b² v` after a first-occasion time-independent predictor (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; §7.2; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T18:20Z). Form `t0_b` first, then square, then multiply by `v`. A zero coefficient or zero predictor variance is exactly zero. Free `T0TIPREDEFFECT` does not require `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is `addedTIPREDVAR` and is not this first-occasion map. `t0_b · √v / √p_0` is `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` and is not this variance. Free `T0VAR` is not this extra TI variance. `TRAITVAR` is not this extra TI variance. Equation 5 of 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `λ² t0_b² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 3, p. 13; Table 2, p. 12; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T19:10Z). Form `t0_b² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. `t0_b² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² p_0 + θ` is first-occasion observed variance, not this extra. `λ² (B / a)² v` is Eq. 5 of `addedTIPREDVAR`, not this first-occasion observed extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Equation 5 of §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` is `λ² (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12; §7.2, pp. 20–21; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T19:23Z). Form `(B / a)² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. Lasting asymptotic extra requires `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² t0_b² v` is first-occasion extra observed TI variance, not this extra. `λ² p + θ` is stationary observed variance, not this extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Page 16 `TDPREDEFFECTstd` is `m · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` and strictly positive time-dependent predictor variance. Unstandardised `M` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd` even when `M = B`. intercept-style `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] M · √v / √p` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `m · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. Table 3 / p. 16 `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_m · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` and strictly positive TD predictor variance. Unstandardised `t0_m` is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `TDPREDEFFECTstd` uses `asymDIFFUSION` and is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd` even when `t0_m = t0_b`. `t0_m · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. Free `T0VAR` does not require `a < 0`. Page 16 `T0VARstd` is `p_0 / p_0 = 1` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` (`solve(sqrt(diag(T0VAR))) %&% T0VAR`; OpenMx `%&%` is `t(A) %*% B %*% A`; the default ridge is 0). Unstandardised `T0VAR` is not `T0VARstd`. `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd` is not `T0VARstd`. `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is not `T0VARstd`. Page 16 `TRAITVARstd` is `trait / trait = 1` after strictly positive `TRAITVAR` (`solve(sqrt(diag(TRAITVAR))) %&% TRAITVAR`; OpenMx `%&%` is `t(A) %*% B %*% A`; no ridge addend). Unstandardised `TRAITVAR` is not `TRAITVARstd`. `T0VARstd` is not `TRAITVARstd` even when both equal 1. `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is not `TRAITVARstd`. Page 16 `MANIFESTTRAITVARstd` is `ψ / ψ = 1` after strictly positive `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` (`solve(sqrt(diag(MANIFESTTRAITVAR))) %&% MANIFESTTRAITVAR`; OpenMx `%&%` is `t(A) %*% B %*% A`; 2017-era source adds ridging; default ridge is 0). Unstandardised `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is not `MANIFESTTRAITVARstd`. `TRAITVARstd` is not `MANIFESTTRAITVARstd` even when both equal 1. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `MANIFESTTRAITVARstd`. Page 16 `MANIFESTVARstd` is `θ / θ = 1` after strictly positive `MANIFESTVAR` (`solve(sqrt(diag(MANIFESTVAR))) %&% MANIFESTVAR`; OpenMx `%&%` is `t(A) %*% B %*% A`; 2017-era source adds ridging; default ridge is 0; 2017-era `dimnames` assignment to `latentNames` is a source bug). Unstandardised `MANIFESTVAR` is not `MANIFESTVARstd`. `MANIFESTTRAITVARstd` is not `MANIFESTVARstd` even when both equal 1. Equation 5 `Var(y)` is not `MANIFESTVARstd`. Page 16 `TIPREDVARstd` is `v / v = 1` after strictly positive `TIPREDVAR` (`solve(sqrt(diag(TIPREDVAR))) %&% TIPREDVAR`; OpenMx `%&%` is `t(A) %*% B %*% A`; 2017-era source adds ridging; default ridge is 0; `dimnames` are `TIpredNames`). Unstandardised `TIPREDVAR` is not `TIPREDVARstd`. `MANIFESTVARstd` is not `TIPREDVARstd` even when both equal 1. Section 7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` is not `TIPREDVARstd`. Page 16 `asymDIFFUSIONstd` is `p / p = 1` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` (`solve(sqrt(diag(asymDIFFUSION))) %&% asymDIFFUSION`; OpenMx `%&%` is `t(A) %*% B %*% A`; 2017-era source adds ridging; default ridge is 0; `dimnames` are `latentNames`). Unstandardised `asymDIFFUSION` is not `asymDIFFUSIONstd`. `TIPREDVARstd` is not `asymDIFFUSIONstd` even when both equal 1. `DIFFUSIONstd` `−2 a` is not `asymDIFFUSIONstd`. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. +- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Later-start lagged covariance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T10:27Z). First-occasion lagged omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Later-occasion variance does not lag. Stationary lagged uses `−q / (2 a)`. Decaying the later total is not that map. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²` of it plus `ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. First-occasion lagged observed omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Later-start later-occasion variance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 3–4 Chapman–Kolmogorov `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:05Z). Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s`. Later-start lagged covariance omits `Q_s`. Stationary later uses `−q / (2 a)`. Evolving the later total as if it were all state is not that map. Ignoring `startoffset` omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance is `λ²` of it plus `θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that observed variance. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; footnote 4; §7.1; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:40Z). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `discreteDIFFUSIONstd` is `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:06Z). Unstandardised `Q_Δt` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. The continuous standardisation `−2 a` is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `Q_Δt / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DIFFUSIONstd` is `q / (−q / (2 a)) = −2 a` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:20Z). Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` depends on `Δt` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DRIFTstd` is the continuous auto-effect after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 1; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:28Z). Unstandardised `a` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DRIFTstd`. The discrete standardisation `e^{a Δt}` depends on the event interval and is not `DRIFTstd`. `a p / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` is `(-B / a) · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T14:25Z). Unstandardised `-B / a` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `(-B / a) · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T16:21Z). Unstandardised `B` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The asymptotic standardisation `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `B · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 / Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_b · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` `p_0` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; footnote 4; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T17:20Z). The affected variance is free first-occasion `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`. Unstandardised `t0_b` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` is the continuous coefficient and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `t0_b · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `t0_b² v` after a first-occasion time-independent predictor (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; §7.2; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T18:20Z). Form `t0_b` first, then square, then multiply by `v`. A zero coefficient or zero predictor variance is exactly zero. Free `T0TIPREDEFFECT` does not require `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is `addedTIPREDVAR` and is not this first-occasion map. `t0_b · √v / √p_0` is `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` and is not this variance. Free `T0VAR` is not this extra TI variance. `TRAITVAR` is not this extra TI variance. Equation 5 of 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `λ² t0_b² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 3, p. 13; Table 2, p. 12; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T19:10Z). Form `t0_b² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. `t0_b² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² p_0 + θ` is first-occasion observed variance, not this extra. `λ² (B / a)² v` is Eq. 5 of `addedTIPREDVAR`, not this first-occasion observed extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra.

Form `(B / a)² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero.

Same numbers as `T0TIPREDEFFECT` yield the same product; Table 3 names a different matrix. The evolved-plus-T0TDPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The §7.2 level-change `CINT` `κ = −a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Lasting level change via that `CINT` setting requires `a < 0`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not that `CINT` setting. The Eq. 3 increment of that setting `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps the equilibrium offset `m x`. The §7.2 extra-process contribution `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. Lasting level change via that extra process requires `ε < 0`. Precisely `ε = 0` causes computational problems in the printed specification. The extra-process observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` is not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`, not the contribution, and not the evolved-plus-contribution latent mean. The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. Table 2 `asymCINT` `-κ / a` is the intercept contribution to the stationary process mean. It is not `κ`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. Lasting asymptotic intercept change via that map requires `a < 0`. Page 16 notes that a `T0MEANS` stationarity constraint includes time-independent predictors; that composition is not this intercept-only map. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion mean `-κ / a + −B z / a` is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` is not `τ + λ μ_0`, not `τ + λ(−κ / a)` when `B z ≠ 0`, not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `MANIFESTMEANS`, and not the constrained latent mean. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, not later-occasion variance, not `e^{a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. A zero-diffusion carry with `a ≥ 0` is `e^{a Δt} p_0` and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined lagged latent covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary first-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not free `p_0`, not lagged covariance, and not later-occasion variance. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay and do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary first-occasion map. As `Δt → 0+` the lagged and later maps approach this composition. Trait-only variance does not require a stable drift. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined first-occasion latent variance, not stationary first-occasion observed variance, and not predetermined later observed variance when `p_0` is free. The later-start lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` is not first-occasion lagged covariance when `u > 0`, not later-occasion variance, not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, and not `e^{a s}` of the later total. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a s}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches first-occasion lagged covariance. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start lagged latent covariance, not first-occasion lagged observed covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-start later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` is not later-occasion variance at `u` when `s > 0`, not later-start lagged covariance, not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a s}` of the later total plus `Q_s`, and not later-occasion variance over the lag interval alone when `u > 0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_s`. Chapman–Kolmogorov writes `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance over `s`. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start later-occasion latent variance, not predetermined later observed variance, not later-start lagged observed covariance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free.

Lasting `asymDIFFUSION` requires `a < 0`. +This is two-level OLS and a noiseless scalar continuous-time map. It is not DSEM, not RI-CLPM, not a random-effects sampler, not a Kalman filter, and not a matrix `expm` implementation. The CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the **contextual** effect, not the between-cluster effect. Discrete lags from different event intervals are not one coefficient. Equation 14 is not Equation 12. Discrete process noise \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the continuous diffusion \(GG^{\top}\). \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is the conditional residual variance, not \(\operatorname{Var}(\eta_{t})\). Finite-interval \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the stationary within-subject variance. Trait variance is not process noise and not the stationary within-subject variance. Measurement-error variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Latent variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Manifest means are not the observed-indicator mean. The latent mean is not the observed-indicator mean. The continuous intercept is not the manifest mean. The first-occasion latent mean is not the evolved latent mean. The continuous intercept is not the discrete mean increment. The first-occasion observed mean is not the evolved observed mean. The contemporaneous `TDPREDEFFECT` impulse is not the continuous intercept, not the time-independent discrete effect, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The time-independent `TIPREDEFFECT` increment is not the continuous intercept, not the contemporaneous impulse, not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14), and not the coefficient `B`. The within-interval `TDPREDEFFECT` carry `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the contemporaneous-impulse observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not the impulse-carry observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` when `u ≠ t`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the impulse-carry observed mean. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the time-independent-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TIPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_b z` is not the Eq. 3 process increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `κ`, and not `M x`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z` and is not that process increment. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TI-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-T0TIPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TDPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `κ`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0` and is not that within-interval impulse carry. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TD-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. Same numbers as `T0TIPREDEFFECT` yield the same product; Table 3 names a different matrix. The evolved-plus-T0TDPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The §7.2 level-change `CINT` `κ = −a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Lasting level change via that `CINT` setting requires `a < 0`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not that `CINT` setting. The Eq. 3 increment of that setting `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps the equilibrium offset `m x`. The §7.2 extra-process contribution `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. Lasting level change via that extra process requires `ε < 0`. Precisely `ε = 0` causes computational problems in the printed specification. The extra-process observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` is not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`, not the contribution, and not the evolved-plus-contribution latent mean. The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. Table 2 `asymCINT` `-κ / a` is the intercept contribution to the stationary process mean. It is not `κ`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. Lasting asymptotic intercept change via that map requires `a < 0`. Page 16 notes that a `T0MEANS` stationarity constraint includes time-independent predictors; that composition is not this intercept-only map. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion mean `-κ / a + −B z / a` is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` is not `τ + λ μ_0`, not `τ + λ(−κ / a)` when `B z ≠ 0`, not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `MANIFESTMEANS`, and not the constrained latent mean. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, not later-occasion variance, not `e^{a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. A zero-diffusion carry with `a ≥ 0` is `e^{a Δt} p_0` and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined lagged latent covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary first-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not free `p_0`, not lagged covariance, and not later-occasion variance. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay and do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary first-occasion map. As `Δt → 0+` the lagged and later maps approach this composition. Trait-only variance does not require a stable drift. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined first-occasion latent variance, not stationary first-occasion observed variance, and not predetermined later observed variance when `p_0` is free. The later-start lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` is not first-occasion lagged covariance when `u > 0`, not later-occasion variance, not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, and not `e^{a s}` of the later total. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a s}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches first-occasion lagged covariance. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start lagged latent covariance, not first-occasion lagged observed covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-start later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` is not later-occasion variance at `u` when `s > 0`, not later-start lagged covariance, not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a s}` of the later total plus `Q_s`, and not later-occasion variance over the lag interval alone when `u > 0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_s`. Chapman–Kolmogorov writes `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance over `s`. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start later-occasion latent variance, not predetermined later observed variance, not later-start lagged observed covariance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free.

This is two-group OLS, not MGCFA. Meredith (1993) names remain unread labels. -- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Later-start lagged covariance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T10:27Z). First-occasion lagged omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Later-occasion variance does not lag. Stationary lagged uses `−q / (2 a)`. Decaying the later total is not that map. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²` of it plus `ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. First-occasion lagged observed omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Later-start later-occasion variance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 3–4 Chapman–Kolmogorov `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:05Z). Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s`. Later-start lagged covariance omits `Q_s`. Stationary later uses `−q / (2 a)`. Evolving the later total as if it were all state is not that map. Ignoring `startoffset` omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance is `λ²` of it plus `θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that observed variance. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; footnote 4; §7.1; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:40Z). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `discreteDIFFUSIONstd` is `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:06Z). Unstandardised `Q_Δt` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. The continuous standardisation `−2 a` is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `Q_Δt / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DIFFUSIONstd` is `q / (−q / (2 a)) = −2 a` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:20Z). Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` depends on `Δt` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DRIFTstd` is the continuous auto-effect after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 1; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:28Z). Unstandardised `a` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DRIFTstd`. The discrete standardisation `e^{a Δt}` depends on the event interval and is not `DRIFTstd`. `a p / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` is `(-B / a) · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T14:25Z). Unstandardised `-B / a` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `(-B / a) · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T16:21Z). Unstandardised `B` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The asymptotic standardisation `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `B · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 / Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_b · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` `p_0` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; footnote 4; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T17:20Z). The affected variance is free first-occasion `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`. Unstandardised `t0_b` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` is the continuous coefficient and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `t0_b · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `t0_b² v` after a first-occasion time-independent predictor (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; §7.2; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T18:20Z). Form `t0_b` first, then square, then multiply by `v`. A zero coefficient or zero predictor variance is exactly zero. Free `T0TIPREDEFFECT` does not require `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is `addedTIPREDVAR` and is not this first-occasion map. `t0_b · √v / √p_0` is `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` and is not this variance. Free `T0VAR` is not this extra TI variance. `TRAITVAR` is not this extra TI variance. Equation 5 of 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `λ² t0_b² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 3, p. 13; Table 2, p. 12; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T19:10Z). Form `t0_b² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. `t0_b² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² p_0 + θ` is first-occasion observed variance, not this extra. `λ² (B / a)² v` is Eq. 5 of `addedTIPREDVAR`, not this first-occasion observed extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Equation 5 of §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` is `λ² (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12; §7.2, pp. 20–21; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T19:23Z). Form `(B / a)² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. Lasting asymptotic extra requires `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² t0_b² v` is first-occasion extra observed TI variance, not this extra. `λ² p + θ` is stationary observed variance, not this extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Page 16 `TDPREDEFFECTstd` is `m · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` and strictly positive time-dependent predictor variance. Unstandardised `M` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd` even when `M = B`. intercept-style `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] M · √v / √p` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `m · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. Table 3 / p. 16 `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_m · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` and strictly positive TD predictor variance. Unstandardised `t0_m` is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `TDPREDEFFECTstd` uses `asymDIFFUSION` and is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd` even when `t0_m = t0_b`. `t0_m · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. Free `T0VAR` does not require `a < 0`. Page 16 `T0VARstd` is `p_0 / p_0 = 1` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` (`solve(sqrt(diag(T0VAR))) %&% T0VAR`; OpenMx `%&%` is `t(A) %*% B %*% A`; the default ridge is 0). Unstandardised `T0VAR` is not `T0VARstd`. `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd` is not `T0VARstd`. `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is not `T0VARstd`. Page 16 `TRAITVARstd` is `trait / trait = 1` after strictly positive `TRAITVAR` (`solve(sqrt(diag(TRAITVAR))) %&% TRAITVAR`; OpenMx `%&%` is `t(A) %*% B %*% A`; no ridge addend). Unstandardised `TRAITVAR` is not `TRAITVARstd`. `T0VARstd` is not `TRAITVARstd` even when both equal 1. `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is not `TRAITVARstd`. Page 16 `MANIFESTTRAITVARstd` is `ψ / ψ = 1` after strictly positive `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` (`solve(sqrt(diag(MANIFESTTRAITVAR))) %&% MANIFESTTRAITVAR`; OpenMx `%&%` is `t(A) %*% B %*% A`; 2017-era source adds ridging; default ridge is 0). Unstandardised `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is not `MANIFESTTRAITVARstd`. `TRAITVARstd` is not `MANIFESTTRAITVARstd` even when both equal 1. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `MANIFESTTRAITVARstd`. Page 16 `MANIFESTVARstd` is `θ / θ = 1` after strictly positive `MANIFESTVAR` (`solve(sqrt(diag(MANIFESTVAR))) %&% MANIFESTVAR`; OpenMx `%&%` is `t(A) %*% B %*% A`; 2017-era source adds ridging; default ridge is 0; 2017-era `dimnames` assignment to `latentNames` is a source bug). Unstandardised `MANIFESTVAR` is not `MANIFESTVARstd`. `MANIFESTTRAITVARstd` is not `MANIFESTVARstd` even when both equal 1. Equation 5 `Var(y)` is not `MANIFESTVARstd`. Page 16 `TIPREDVARstd` is `v / v = 1` after strictly positive `TIPREDVAR` (`solve(sqrt(diag(TIPREDVAR))) %&% TIPREDVAR`; OpenMx `%&%` is `t(A) %*% B %*% A`; 2017-era source adds ridging; default ridge is 0; `dimnames` are `TIpredNames`). Unstandardised `TIPREDVAR` is not `TIPREDVARstd`. `MANIFESTVARstd` is not `TIPREDVARstd` even when both equal 1. Section 7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` is not `TIPREDVARstd`. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. +- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Later-start lagged covariance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T10:27Z). First-occasion lagged omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Later-occasion variance does not lag. Stationary lagged uses `−q / (2 a)`. Decaying the later total is not that map. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²` of it plus `ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. First-occasion lagged observed omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Later-start later-occasion variance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 3–4 Chapman–Kolmogorov `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:05Z). Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s`. Later-start lagged covariance omits `Q_s`. Stationary later uses `−q / (2 a)`. Evolving the later total as if it were all state is not that map. Ignoring `startoffset` omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance is `λ²` of it plus `θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that observed variance. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; footnote 4; §7.1; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:40Z). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `discreteDIFFUSIONstd` is `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:06Z).

Page 16 `DIFFUSIONstd` is `q / (−q / (2 a)) = −2 a` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:20Z). Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` depends on `Δt` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DRIFTstd` is the continuous auto-effect after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 1; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:28Z). Unstandardised `a` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DRIFTstd`. The discrete standardisation `e^{a Δt}` depends on the event interval and is not `DRIFTstd`. `a p / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` is `(-B / a) · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T14:25Z). Unstandardised `-B / a` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `(-B / a) · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T16:21Z). Unstandardised `B` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The asymptotic standardisation `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `B · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 / Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_b · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` `p_0` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; footnote 4; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T17:20Z). The affected variance is free first-occasion `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`. Unstandardised `t0_b` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` is the continuous coefficient and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `t0_b · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `t0_b² v` after a first-occasion time-independent predictor (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; §7.2; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T18:20Z). Form `t0_b` first, then square, then multiply by `v`. A zero coefficient or zero predictor variance is exactly zero. Free `T0TIPREDEFFECT` does not require `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is `addedTIPREDVAR` and is not this first-occasion map. `t0_b · √v / √p_0` is `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` and is not this variance. Free `T0VAR` is not this extra TI variance. `TRAITVAR` is not this extra TI variance. Equation 5 of 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `λ² t0_b² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 3, p. 13; Table 2, p. 12; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T19:10Z). Form `t0_b² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. `t0_b² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² p_0 + θ` is first-occasion observed variance, not this extra. `λ² (B / a)² v` is Eq. 5 of `addedTIPREDVAR`, not this first-occasion observed extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Equation 5 of §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` is `λ² (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12; §7.2, pp. 20–21; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T19:23Z). Form `(B / a)² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. Lasting asymptotic extra requires `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² t0_b² v` is first-occasion extra observed TI variance, not this extra. `λ² p + θ` is stationary observed variance, not this extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra.

The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-T0TIPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TDPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `κ`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0` and is not that within-interval impulse carry. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TD-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. Same numbers as `T0TIPREDEFFECT` yield the same product; Table 3 names a different matrix. The evolved-plus-T0TDPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The §7.2 level-change `CINT` `κ = −a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Lasting level change via that `CINT` setting requires `a < 0`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not that `CINT` setting. The Eq. 3 increment of that setting `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps the equilibrium offset `m x`. The §7.2 extra-process contribution `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. Lasting level change via that extra process requires `ε < 0`. Precisely `ε = 0` causes computational problems in the printed specification. The extra-process observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` is not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`, not the contribution, and not the evolved-plus-contribution latent mean. The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. Table 2 `asymCINT` `-κ / a` is the intercept contribution to the stationary process mean. It is not `κ`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. Lasting asymptotic intercept change via that map requires `a < 0`. Page 16 notes that a `T0MEANS` stationarity constraint includes time-independent predictors; that composition is not this intercept-only map. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion mean `-κ / a + −B z / a` is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` is not `τ + λ μ_0`, not `τ + λ(−κ / a)` when `B z ≠ 0`, not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `MANIFESTMEANS`, and not the constrained latent mean. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, not later-occasion variance, not `e^{a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. A zero-diffusion carry with `a ≥ 0` is `e^{a Δt} p_0` and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined lagged latent covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary first-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not free `p_0`, not lagged covariance, and not later-occasion variance. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay and do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary first-occasion map. As `Δt → 0+` the lagged and later maps approach this composition. Trait-only variance does not require a stable drift. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined first-occasion latent variance, not stationary first-occasion observed variance, and not predetermined later observed variance when `p_0` is free. The later-start lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` is not first-occasion lagged covariance when `u > 0`, not later-occasion variance, not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, and not `e^{a s}` of the later total. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a s}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches first-occasion lagged covariance. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start lagged latent covariance, not first-occasion lagged observed covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-start later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` is not later-occasion variance at `u` when `s > 0`, not later-start lagged covariance, not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a s}` of the later total plus `Q_s`, and not later-occasion variance over the lag interval alone when `u > 0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_s`. Chapman–Kolmogorov writes `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance over `s`. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start later-occasion latent variance, not predetermined later observed variance, not later-start lagged observed covariance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free.

A zero coefficient or zero predictor variance is exactly zero. Free `T0TIPREDEFFECT` does not require `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is `addedTIPREDVAR` and is not this first-occasion map. `t0_b · √v / √p_0` is `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` and is not this variance.

A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. `t0_b² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² p_0 + θ` is first-occasion observed variance, not this extra. `λ² (B / a)² v` is Eq. 5 of `addedTIPREDVAR`, not this first-occasion observed extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Equation 5 of §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` is `λ² (B / a)² v`. Form `(B / a)² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. Lasting asymptotic extra requires `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² t0_b² v` is first-occasion extra observed TI variance, not this extra. `λ² p + θ` is stationary observed variance, not this extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Page 16 `TDPREDEFFECTstd` is `m · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive time-dependent predictor variance `v` (footnote 4: standardise using only the relevant variance, not the total; the affecting variance is the TD predictor; the affected variance is `asymDIFFUSION`).

The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0` and is not that within-interval impulse carry. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TD-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. Same numbers as `T0TIPREDEFFECT` yield the same product; Table 3 names a different matrix. The evolved-plus-T0TDPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The §7.2 level-change `CINT` `κ = −a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Lasting level change via that `CINT` setting requires `a < 0`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not that `CINT` setting. The Eq. 3 increment of that setting `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps the equilibrium offset `m x`. The §7.2 extra-process contribution `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. Lasting level change via that extra process requires `ε < 0`. Precisely `ε = 0` causes computational problems in the printed specification. The extra-process observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` is not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`, not the contribution, and not the evolved-plus-contribution latent mean. The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. Table 2 `asymCINT` `-κ / a` is the intercept contribution to the stationary process mean. It is not `κ`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. Lasting asymptotic intercept change via that map requires `a < 0`. Page 16 notes that a `T0MEANS` stationarity constraint includes time-independent predictors; that composition is not this intercept-only map. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion mean `-κ / a + −B z / a` is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` is not `τ + λ μ_0`, not `τ + λ(−κ / a)` when `B z ≠ 0`, not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `MANIFESTMEANS`, and not the constrained latent mean. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, not later-occasion variance, not `e^{a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. A zero-diffusion carry with `a ≥ 0` is `e^{a Δt} p_0` and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined lagged latent covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary first-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not free `p_0`, not lagged covariance, and not later-occasion variance. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay and do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary first-occasion map. As `Δt → 0+` the lagged and later maps approach this composition. Trait-only variance does not require a stable drift. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined first-occasion latent variance, not stationary first-occasion observed variance, and not predetermined later observed variance when `p_0` is free. The later-start lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` is not first-occasion lagged covariance when `u > 0`, not later-occasion variance, not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, and not `e^{a s}` of the later total. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a s}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches first-occasion lagged covariance. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start lagged latent covariance, not first-occasion lagged observed covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-start later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` is not later-occasion variance at `u` when `s > 0`, not later-start lagged covariance, not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a s}` of the later total plus `Q_s`, and not later-occasion variance over the lag interval alone when `u > 0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_s`. Chapman–Kolmogorov writes `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance over `s`. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start later-occasion latent variance, not predetermined later observed variance, not later-start lagged observed covariance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free.

This is two-group OLS, not MGCFA. Meredith (1993) names remain unread labels. -- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Later-start lagged covariance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T10:27Z). First-occasion lagged omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Later-occasion variance does not lag. Stationary lagged uses `−q / (2 a)`. Decaying the later total is not that map. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²` of it plus `ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. First-occasion lagged observed omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Later-start later-occasion variance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 3–4 Chapman–Kolmogorov `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:05Z). Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s`. Later-start lagged covariance omits `Q_s`. Stationary later uses `−q / (2 a)`. Evolving the later total as if it were all state is not that map. Ignoring `startoffset` omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance is `λ²` of it plus `θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that observed variance. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; footnote 4; §7.1; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:40Z). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `discreteDIFFUSIONstd` is `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:06Z). Unstandardised `Q_Δt` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. The continuous standardisation `−2 a` is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `Q_Δt / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DIFFUSIONstd` is `q / (−q / (2 a)) = −2 a` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:20Z). Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` depends on `Δt` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DRIFTstd` is the continuous auto-effect after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 1; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:28Z). Unstandardised `a` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DRIFTstd`. The discrete standardisation `e^{a Δt}` depends on the event interval and is not `DRIFTstd`. `a p / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` is `(-B / a) · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T14:25Z). Unstandardised `-B / a` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `(-B / a) · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T16:21Z). Unstandardised `B` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The asymptotic standardisation `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `B · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 / Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_b · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` `p_0` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; footnote 4; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T17:20Z). The affected variance is free first-occasion `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`. Unstandardised `t0_b` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` is the continuous coefficient and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `t0_b · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `t0_b² v` after a first-occasion time-independent predictor (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; §7.2; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T18:20Z). Form `t0_b` first, then square, then multiply by `v`. A zero coefficient or zero predictor variance is exactly zero. Free `T0TIPREDEFFECT` does not require `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is `addedTIPREDVAR` and is not this first-occasion map. `t0_b · √v / √p_0` is `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` and is not this variance. Free `T0VAR` is not this extra TI variance. `TRAITVAR` is not this extra TI variance. Equation 5 of 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `λ² t0_b² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 3, p. 13; Table 2, p. 12; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T19:10Z). Form `t0_b² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. `t0_b² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² p_0 + θ` is first-occasion observed variance, not this extra. `λ² (B / a)² v` is Eq. 5 of `addedTIPREDVAR`, not this first-occasion observed extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Equation 5 of §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` is `λ² (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12; §7.2, pp. 20–21; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T19:23Z). Form `(B / a)² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. Lasting asymptotic extra requires `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² t0_b² v` is first-occasion extra observed TI variance, not this extra. `λ² p + θ` is stationary observed variance, not this extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Page 16 `TDPREDEFFECTstd` is `m · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` and strictly positive time-dependent predictor variance. Unstandardised `M` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd` even when `M = B`. intercept-style `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] M · √v / √p` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `m · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. Table 3 / p. 16 `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_m · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` and strictly positive TD predictor variance. Unstandardised `t0_m` is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `TDPREDEFFECTstd` uses `asymDIFFUSION` and is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd` even when `t0_m = t0_b`. `t0_m · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. Free `T0VAR` does not require `a < 0`. Page 16 `T0VARstd` is `p_0 / p_0 = 1` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` (`solve(sqrt(diag(T0VAR))) %&% T0VAR`; OpenMx `%&%` is `t(A) %*% B %*% A`; the default ridge is 0). Unstandardised `T0VAR` is not `T0VARstd`. `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd` is not `T0VARstd`. `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is not `T0VARstd`. Page 16 `TRAITVARstd` is `trait / trait = 1` after strictly positive `TRAITVAR` (`solve(sqrt(diag(TRAITVAR))) %&% TRAITVAR`; OpenMx `%&%` is `t(A) %*% B %*% A`; no ridge addend). Unstandardised `TRAITVAR` is not `TRAITVARstd`. `T0VARstd` is not `TRAITVARstd` even when both equal 1. `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is not `TRAITVARstd`. Page 16 `MANIFESTTRAITVARstd` is `ψ / ψ = 1` after strictly positive `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` (`solve(sqrt(diag(MANIFESTTRAITVAR))) %&% MANIFESTTRAITVAR`; OpenMx `%&%` is `t(A) %*% B %*% A`; 2017-era source adds ridging; default ridge is 0). Unstandardised `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is not `MANIFESTTRAITVARstd`. `TRAITVARstd` is not `MANIFESTTRAITVARstd` even when both equal 1. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `MANIFESTTRAITVARstd`. Page 16 `MANIFESTVARstd` is `θ / θ = 1` after strictly positive `MANIFESTVAR` (`solve(sqrt(diag(MANIFESTVAR))) %&% MANIFESTVAR`; OpenMx `%&%` is `t(A) %*% B %*% A`; 2017-era source adds ridging; default ridge is 0; 2017-era `dimnames` assignment to `latentNames` is a source bug). Unstandardised `MANIFESTVAR` is not `MANIFESTVARstd`. `MANIFESTTRAITVARstd` is not `MANIFESTVARstd` even when both equal 1. Equation 5 `Var(y)` is not `MANIFESTVARstd`. Page 16 `TIPREDVARstd` is `v / v = 1` after strictly positive `TIPREDVAR` (`solve(sqrt(diag(TIPREDVAR))) %&% TIPREDVAR`; OpenMx `%&%` is `t(A) %*% B %*% A`; 2017-era source adds ridging; default ridge is 0; `dimnames` are `TIpredNames`). Unstandardised `TIPREDVAR` is not `TIPREDVARstd`. `MANIFESTVARstd` is not `TIPREDVARstd` even when both equal 1. Section 7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` is not `TIPREDVARstd`. Page 16 `asymDIFFUSIONstd` is `p / p = 1` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` (`solve(sqrt(diag(asymDIFFUSION))) %&% asymDIFFUSION`; OpenMx `%&%` is `t(A) %*% B %*% A`; 2017-era source adds ridging; default ridge is 0; `dimnames` are `latentNames`). Unstandardised `asymDIFFUSION` is not `asymDIFFUSIONstd`. `TIPREDVARstd` is not `asymDIFFUSIONstd` even when both equal 1. `DIFFUSIONstd` `−2 a` is not `asymDIFFUSIONstd`. Page 16 `discreteCINTstd` is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ / √p` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION`. Unstandardised `discreteCINT` is not `discreteCINTstd`. `κ / √p` is not `discreteCINTstd`. `(-κ / a) / √p` is not `discreteCINTstd`. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. +- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Later-start lagged covariance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T10:27Z). First-occasion lagged omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Later-occasion variance does not lag. Stationary lagged uses `−q / (2 a)`. Decaying the later total is not that map. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²` of it plus `ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. First-occasion lagged observed omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Later-start later-occasion variance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 3–4 Chapman–Kolmogorov `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:05Z). Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s`. Later-start lagged covariance omits `Q_s`. Stationary later uses `−q / (2 a)`. Evolving the later total as if it were all state is not that map. Ignoring `startoffset` omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance is `λ²` of it plus `θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that observed variance. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; footnote 4; §7.1; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:40Z). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `discreteDIFFUSIONstd` is `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:06Z).

Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` depends on `Δt` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DRIFTstd` is the continuous auto-effect after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 1; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:28Z). Unstandardised `a` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DRIFTstd`. The discrete standardisation `e^{a Δt}` depends on the event interval and is not `DRIFTstd`. `a p / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` is `(-B / a) · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T14:25Z). Unstandardised `-B / a` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `(-B / a) · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T16:21Z). Unstandardised `B` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The asymptotic standardisation `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `B · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 / Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_b · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` `p_0` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; footnote 4; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T17:20Z). The affected variance is free first-occasion `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`. Unstandardised `t0_b` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` is the continuous coefficient and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `t0_b · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `t0_b² v` after a first-occasion time-independent predictor (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; §7.2; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T18:20Z). Form `t0_b` first, then square, then multiply by `v`. A zero coefficient or zero predictor variance is exactly zero. Free `T0TIPREDEFFECT` does not require `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is `addedTIPREDVAR` and is not this first-occasion map. `t0_b · √v / √p_0` is `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` and is not this variance. Free `T0VAR` is not this extra TI variance. `TRAITVAR` is not this extra TI variance.

Form `t0_b² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. `t0_b² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² p_0 + θ` is first-occasion observed variance, not this extra. `λ² (B / a)² v` is Eq. 5 of `addedTIPREDVAR`, not this first-occasion observed extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra.

It is not DSEM, not RI-CLPM, not a random-effects sampler, not a Kalman filter, and not a matrix `expm` implementation. The CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the **contextual** effect, not the between-cluster effect. Discrete lags from different event intervals are not one coefficient. Equation 14 is not Equation 12. Discrete process noise \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the continuous diffusion \(GG^{\top}\). \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is the conditional residual variance, not \(\operatorname{Var}(\eta_{t})\).

The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TIPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_b z` is not the Eq. 3 process increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `κ`, and not `M x`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z` and is not that process increment. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift.

The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0` and is not that within-interval impulse carry. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TD-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)`.

The first-occasion TI composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. Same numbers as `T0TIPREDEFFECT` yield the same product; Table 3 names a different matrix. The evolved-plus-T0TDPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The §7.2 level-change `CINT` `κ = −a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Lasting level change via that `CINT` setting requires `a < 0`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not that `CINT` setting. The Eq. 3 increment of that setting `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps the equilibrium offset `m x`. The §7.2 extra-process contribution `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. Lasting level change via that extra process requires `ε < 0`. Precisely `ε = 0` causes computational problems in the printed specification. The extra-process observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` is not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`, not the contribution, and not the evolved-plus-contribution latent mean. The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. Table 2 `asymCINT` `-κ / a` is the intercept contribution to the stationary process mean. It is not `κ`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. Lasting asymptotic intercept change via that map requires `a < 0`. Page 16 notes that a `T0MEANS` stationarity constraint includes time-independent predictors; that composition is not this intercept-only map. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion mean `-κ / a + −B z / a` is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` is not `τ + λ μ_0`, not `τ + λ(−κ / a)` when `B z ≠ 0`, not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `MANIFESTMEANS`, and not the constrained latent mean. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, not later-occasion variance, not `e^{a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. A zero-diffusion carry with `a ≥ 0` is `e^{a Δt} p_0` and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined lagged latent covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary first-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not free `p_0`, not lagged covariance, and not later-occasion variance. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay and do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary first-occasion map. As `Δt → 0+` the lagged and later maps approach this composition. Trait-only variance does not require a stable drift. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined first-occasion latent variance, not stationary first-occasion observed variance, and not predetermined later observed variance when `p_0` is free. The later-start lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` is not first-occasion lagged covariance when `u > 0`, not later-occasion variance, not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, and not `e^{a s}` of the later total. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a s}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches first-occasion lagged covariance. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start lagged latent covariance, not first-occasion lagged observed covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-start later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` is not later-occasion variance at `u` when `s > 0`, not later-start lagged covariance, not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a s}` of the later total plus `Q_s`, and not later-occasion variance over the lag interval alone when `u > 0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_s`. Chapman–Kolmogorov writes `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance over `s`. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start later-occasion latent variance, not predetermined later observed variance, not later-start lagged observed covariance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free.

Distinct positive `ψ` recover the same 1. `TRAITVARstd` `trait / trait = 1` recovers the same number and remains a distinct named quantity. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is measurement error, not this correlation. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` does not require `a < 0`.

Unstandardised `MANIFESTVAR` is defined for a zero residual and is not `MANIFESTVARstd`. Zero `MANIFESTVAR` makes `solve(sqrt(0))` fail and fails closed. Distinct positive `θ` recover the same 1. `MANIFESTTRAITVARstd` `ψ / ψ = 1` recovers the same number and remains a distinct named quantity. Equation 5 `λ² Var(η) + θ` is `Var(y)`, not this correlation. `MANIFESTVAR` does not require `a < 0`. Page 16 `TIPREDVARstd` is the correlation form `solve(sqrt(diag(TIPREDVAR))) %&% TIPREDVAR` after strictly positive `TIPREDVAR` (2017-era `summary.ctsemFit.R` forms it whenever `verbose = TRUE` and `n.TIpred > 0`; OpenMx `%&%` is `t(A) %*% B %*% A`; unlike `TRAITVARstd` the 2017-era source adds ridging; the default ridge is 0; `dimnames` are `TIpredNames`; the scalar map is `v / v = 1`). Unstandardised `TIPREDVAR` is defined for a zero predictor and is not `TIPREDVARstd`. Zero `TIPREDVAR` makes `solve(sqrt(0))` fail and fails closed. Distinct positive `v` recover the same 1. `MANIFESTVARstd` `θ / θ = 1` recovers the same number and remains a distinct named quantity. Section 7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is extra process variance, not this correlation. `TIPREDVAR` does not require `a < 0`. Page 16 `asymDIFFUSIONstd` is the correlation form `solve(sqrt(diag(asymDIFFUSION))) %&% asymDIFFUSION` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (2017-era `summary.ctsemFit.R` forms it whenever `verbose = TRUE`; OpenMx `%&%` is `t(A) %*% B %*% A`; the 2017-era source adds ridging; the default ridge is 0; `dimnames` are `latentNames`; the scalar map is `p / p = 1`). Unstandardised `asymDIFFUSION` is defined for a zero process and is not `asymDIFFUSIONstd`. Zero `q` makes `solve(sqrt(0))` fail and fails closed. Distinct positive `p` recover the same 1. `TIPREDVARstd` `v / v = 1` recovers the same number and remains a distinct named quantity. `DIFFUSIONstd` `q / p = −2 a` is the continuous-diffusion ratio, not this correlation. Lasting `asymDIFFUSION` requires `a < 0`. Page 16 `discreteCINTstd` is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ / √p` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (2017-era `summary.ctsemFit.R` forms unstandardised `discreteCINT` whenever `verbose = TRUE` as `solve(DRIFT) %*% (discreteDRIFT − I) %*% CINT`; that source does not form a `discreteCINTstd` matrix; the scalar map is the footnote 4 standardisation of that named discrete intercept). Unstandardised `discreteCINT` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteCINTstd`. Zero `q` has no positive process SD and fails closed. `κ / √p` does not depend on `Δt` and is not this finite-interval map. `(-κ / a) / √p` is the standardised asymptotic intercept and is not this map. Lasting `asymDIFFUSION` requires `a < 0`. +This is two-level OLS and a noiseless scalar continuous-time map. It is not DSEM, not RI-CLPM, not a random-effects sampler, not a Kalman filter, and not a matrix `expm` implementation. The CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the **contextual** effect, not the between-cluster effect. Discrete lags from different event intervals are not one coefficient. Equation 14 is not Equation 12. Discrete process noise \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the continuous diffusion \(GG^{\top}\). \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is the conditional residual variance, not \(\operatorname{Var}(\eta_{t})\). Finite-interval \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the stationary within-subject variance. Trait variance is not process noise and not the stationary within-subject variance. Measurement-error variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Latent variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Manifest means are not the observed-indicator mean. The latent mean is not the observed-indicator mean. The continuous intercept is not the manifest mean. The first-occasion latent mean is not the evolved latent mean. The continuous intercept is not the discrete mean increment. The first-occasion observed mean is not the evolved observed mean. The contemporaneous `TDPREDEFFECT` impulse is not the continuous intercept, not the time-independent discrete effect, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The time-independent `TIPREDEFFECT` increment is not the continuous intercept, not the contemporaneous impulse, not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14), and not the coefficient `B`. The within-interval `TDPREDEFFECT` carry `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the contemporaneous-impulse observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not the impulse-carry observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` when `u ≠ t`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the impulse-carry observed mean. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the time-independent-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TIPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_b z` is not the Eq. 3 process increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `κ`, and not `M x`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z` and is not that process increment. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TI-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-T0TIPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TDPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `κ`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0` and is not that within-interval impulse carry. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TD-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. Same numbers as `T0TIPREDEFFECT` yield the same product; Table 3 names a different matrix. The evolved-plus-T0TDPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The §7.2 level-change `CINT` `κ = −a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Lasting level change via that `CINT` setting requires `a < 0`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not that `CINT` setting. The Eq. 3 increment of that setting `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps the equilibrium offset `m x`. The §7.2 extra-process contribution `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. Lasting level change via that extra process requires `ε < 0`. Precisely `ε = 0` causes computational problems in the printed specification. The extra-process observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` is not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`, not the contribution, and not the evolved-plus-contribution latent mean. The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. Table 2 `asymCINT` `-κ / a` is the intercept contribution to the stationary process mean. It is not `κ`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. Lasting asymptotic intercept change via that map requires `a < 0`. Page 16 notes that a `T0MEANS` stationarity constraint includes time-independent predictors; that composition is not this intercept-only map. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion mean `-κ / a + −B z / a` is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` is not `τ + λ μ_0`, not `τ + λ(−κ / a)` when `B z ≠ 0`, not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `MANIFESTMEANS`, and not the constrained latent mean. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, not later-occasion variance, not `e^{a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. A zero-diffusion carry with `a ≥ 0` is `e^{a Δt} p_0` and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined lagged latent covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary first-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not free `p_0`, not lagged covariance, and not later-occasion variance. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay and do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary first-occasion map. As `Δt → 0+` the lagged and later maps approach this composition. Trait-only variance does not require a stable drift. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined first-occasion latent variance, not stationary first-occasion observed variance, and not predetermined later observed variance when `p_0` is free. The later-start lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` is not first-occasion lagged covariance when `u > 0`, not later-occasion variance, not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, and not `e^{a s}` of the later total. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a s}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches first-occasion lagged covariance. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start lagged latent covariance, not first-occasion lagged observed covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-start later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` is not later-occasion variance at `u` when `s > 0`, not later-start lagged covariance, not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a s}` of the later total plus `Q_s`, and not later-occasion variance over the lag interval alone when `u > 0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_s`. Chapman–Kolmogorov writes `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance over `s`. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start later-occasion latent variance, not predetermined later observed variance, not later-start lagged observed covariance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free.

A zero coefficient or zero predictor variance is exactly zero. Free `T0TIPREDEFFECT` does not require `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is `addedTIPREDVAR` and is not this first-occasion map. `t0_b · √v / √p_0` is `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` and is not this variance. Free `T0VAR` is not this extra TI variance. `TRAITVAR` is not this extra TI variance. Equation 5 of 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `λ² t0_b² v`. Form `t0_b² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. `t0_b² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² p_0 + θ` is first-occasion observed variance, not this extra. `λ² (B / a)² v` is Eq. 5 of `addedTIPREDVAR`, not this first-occasion observed extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Equation 5 of §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` is `λ² (B / a)² v`. Form `(B / a)² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. Lasting asymptotic extra requires `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² t0_b² v` is first-occasion extra observed TI variance, not this extra. `λ² p + θ` is stationary observed variance, not this extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Page 16 `TDPREDEFFECTstd` is `m · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive time-dependent predictor variance `v` (footnote 4: standardise using only the relevant variance, not the total; the affecting variance is the TD predictor; the affected variance is `asymDIFFUSION`).

That source does not form a `T0MEANSstd` matrix; the scalar map here is the footnote 4 standardisation of that named first-occasion mean: `μ_0 / √p_0`. Form strictly positive `p_0` first, then divide `μ_0` by `√p_0`. A zero mean is exactly zero. Unstandardised `T0MEANS` is defined for a zero first-occasion variance; standardised `T0MEANS` is not. Zero `p_0` has no positive SD and fails closed. `T0` is an event-time occasion, so a non-event clock fails closed. Free `T0MEANS` does not require stable `a < 0`. `T0VARstd` `p_0 / p_0 = 1` recovers the same number when `μ_0 = √p_0` and remains a distinct named quantity. `μ_0 / √asymDIFFUSION` uses process-dynamics variance and is not this first-occasion map.

The default `ridging = FALSE` adds 0, not `0.0001`; that ridge is a numerical hack and is not this exact map. The 2017-era source assigns `dimnames(asymDIFFUSIONstd)` to `latentNames`; that assignment matches the `n.latent × n.latent` matrix and is this map. The scalar correlation is `p / p = 1` after strictly positive Lyapunov `p = −q / (2 a)`. Form strictly positive `p` first, then `1 / √p`, then `(1 / √p) p (1 / √p)`. Unstandardised `asymDIFFUSION` is defined for a zero process; standardised `asymDIFFUSION` is not. Zero `q` makes `solve(sqrt(0))` fail in the 2017-era source and fails closed here.

This is two-group OLS, not MGCFA. Meredith (1993) names remain unread labels. -- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Later-start lagged covariance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T10:27Z). First-occasion lagged omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Later-occasion variance does not lag. Stationary lagged uses `−q / (2 a)`. Decaying the later total is not that map. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²` of it plus `ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. First-occasion lagged observed omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Later-start later-occasion variance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 3–4 Chapman–Kolmogorov `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:05Z). Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s`. Later-start lagged covariance omits `Q_s`. Stationary later uses `−q / (2 a)`. Evolving the later total as if it were all state is not that map. Ignoring `startoffset` omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance is `λ²` of it plus `θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that observed variance. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; footnote 4; §7.1; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:40Z). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `discreteDIFFUSIONstd` is `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:06Z).

The continuous standardisation `−2 a` is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `Q_Δt / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DIFFUSIONstd` is `q / (−q / (2 a)) = −2 a` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:20Z). Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` depends on `Δt` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DRIFTstd` is the continuous auto-effect after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 1; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:28Z). Unstandardised `a` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DRIFTstd`. The discrete standardisation `e^{a Δt}` depends on the event interval and is not `DRIFTstd`. `a p / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` is `(-B / a) · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T14:25Z). Unstandardised `-B / a` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `(-B / a) · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T16:21Z). Unstandardised `B` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The asymptotic standardisation `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `B · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 / Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_b · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` `p_0` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; footnote 4; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T17:20Z). The affected variance is free first-occasion `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`. Unstandardised `t0_b` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` is the continuous coefficient and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `t0_b · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `t0_b² v` after a first-occasion time-independent predictor (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; §7.2; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T18:20Z). Form `t0_b` first, then square, then multiply by `v`. A zero coefficient or zero predictor variance is exactly zero. Free `T0TIPREDEFFECT` does not require `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is `addedTIPREDVAR` and is not this first-occasion map. `t0_b · √v / √p_0` is `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` and is not this variance. Free `T0VAR` is not this extra TI variance. `TRAITVAR` is not this extra TI variance. Equation 5 of 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `λ² t0_b² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 3, p. 13; Table 2, p. 12; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T19:10Z). Form `t0_b² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. `t0_b² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² p_0 + θ` is first-occasion observed variance, not this extra. `λ² (B / a)² v` is Eq. 5 of `addedTIPREDVAR`, not this first-occasion observed extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Equation 5 of §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` is `λ² (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12; §7.2, pp. 20–21; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T19:23Z). Form `(B / a)² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. Lasting asymptotic extra requires `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² t0_b² v` is first-occasion extra observed TI variance, not this extra. `λ² p + θ` is stationary observed variance, not this extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Page 16 `TDPREDEFFECTstd` is `m · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` and strictly positive time-dependent predictor variance. Unstandardised `M` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd` even when `M = B`. intercept-style `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] M · √v / √p` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `m · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. Table 3 / p. 16 `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_m · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` and strictly positive TD predictor variance. Unstandardised `t0_m` is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `TDPREDEFFECTstd` uses `asymDIFFUSION` and is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd` even when `t0_m = t0_b`. `t0_m · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. Free `T0VAR` does not require `a < 0`. Page 16 `T0VARstd` is `p_0 / p_0 = 1` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` (`solve(sqrt(diag(T0VAR))) %&% T0VAR`; OpenMx `%&%` is `t(A) %*% B %*% A`; the default ridge is 0). Unstandardised `T0VAR` is not `T0VARstd`. `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd` is not `T0VARstd`. `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is not `T0VARstd`. Page 16 `TRAITVARstd` is `trait / trait = 1` after strictly positive `TRAITVAR` (`solve(sqrt(diag(TRAITVAR))) %&% TRAITVAR`; OpenMx `%&%` is `t(A) %*% B %*% A`; no ridge addend). Unstandardised `TRAITVAR` is not `TRAITVARstd`. `T0VARstd` is not `TRAITVARstd` even when both equal 1. `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is not `TRAITVARstd`. Page 16 `MANIFESTTRAITVARstd` is `ψ / ψ = 1` after strictly positive `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` (`solve(sqrt(diag(MANIFESTTRAITVAR))) %&% MANIFESTTRAITVAR`; OpenMx `%&%` is `t(A) %*% B %*% A`; 2017-era source adds ridging; default ridge is 0). Unstandardised `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is not `MANIFESTTRAITVARstd`. `TRAITVARstd` is not `MANIFESTTRAITVARstd` even when both equal 1. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `MANIFESTTRAITVARstd`. Page 16 `MANIFESTVARstd` is `θ / θ = 1` after strictly positive `MANIFESTVAR` (`solve(sqrt(diag(MANIFESTVAR))) %&% MANIFESTVAR`; OpenMx `%&%` is `t(A) %*% B %*% A`; 2017-era source adds ridging; default ridge is 0; 2017-era `dimnames` assignment to `latentNames` is a source bug). Unstandardised `MANIFESTVAR` is not `MANIFESTVARstd`. `MANIFESTTRAITVARstd` is not `MANIFESTVARstd` even when both equal 1. Equation 5 `Var(y)` is not `MANIFESTVARstd`.

Unstandardised `TIPREDVAR` is not `TIPREDVARstd`. `MANIFESTVARstd` is not `TIPREDVARstd` even when both equal 1. Section 7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` is not `TIPREDVARstd`. Page 16 `asymDIFFUSIONstd` is `p / p = 1` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` (`solve(sqrt(diag(asymDIFFUSION))) %&% asymDIFFUSION`; OpenMx `%&%` is `t(A) %*% B %*% A`; 2017-era source adds ridging; default ridge is 0; `dimnames` are `latentNames`). Unstandardised `asymDIFFUSION` is not `asymDIFFUSIONstd`. `TIPREDVARstd` is not `asymDIFFUSIONstd` even when both equal 1. `DIFFUSIONstd` `−2 a` is not `asymDIFFUSIONstd`. Page 16 `discreteCINTstd` is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ / √p` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION`. Unstandardised `discreteCINT` is not `discreteCINTstd`. `κ / √p` is not `discreteCINTstd`. `(-κ / a) / √p` is not `discreteCINTstd`. `asymCINTstd` is `(-κ / a) / √p` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION`. Unstandardised `asymCINT` is not `asymCINTstd`. `κ / √p` is not `asymCINTstd`. `discreteCINTstd` is not `asymCINTstd`. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. +- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Later-start lagged covariance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T10:27Z). First-occasion lagged omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Later-occasion variance does not lag. Stationary lagged uses `−q / (2 a)`. Decaying the later total is not that map. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²` of it plus `ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. First-occasion lagged observed omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Later-start later-occasion variance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 3–4 Chapman–Kolmogorov `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:05Z). Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s`. Later-start lagged covariance omits `Q_s`. Stationary later uses `−q / (2 a)`. Evolving the later total as if it were all state is not that map. Ignoring `startoffset` omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance is `λ²` of it plus `θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that observed variance. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; footnote 4; §7.1; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:40Z). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `discreteDIFFUSIONstd` is `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:06Z). Unstandardised `Q_Δt` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. The continuous standardisation `−2 a` is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `Q_Δt / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DIFFUSIONstd` is `q / (−q / (2 a)) = −2 a` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:20Z). Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` depends on `Δt` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DRIFTstd` is the continuous auto-effect after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 1; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:28Z). Unstandardised `a` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DRIFTstd`. The discrete standardisation `e^{a Δt}` depends on the event interval and is not `DRIFTstd`. `a p / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` is `(-B / a) · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T14:25Z). Unstandardised `-B / a` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `(-B / a) · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T16:21Z). Unstandardised `B` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The asymptotic standardisation `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `B · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 / Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_b · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` `p_0` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; footnote 4; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T17:20Z). The affected variance is free first-occasion `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`. Unstandardised `t0_b` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` is the continuous coefficient and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `t0_b · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `t0_b² v` after a first-occasion time-independent predictor (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; §7.2; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T18:20Z). Form `t0_b` first, then square, then multiply by `v`. A zero coefficient or zero predictor variance is exactly zero. Free `T0TIPREDEFFECT` does not require `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is `addedTIPREDVAR` and is not this first-occasion map. `t0_b · √v / √p_0` is `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` and is not this variance. Free `T0VAR` is not this extra TI variance. `TRAITVAR` is not this extra TI variance. Equation 5 of 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `λ² t0_b² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 3, p. 13; Table 2, p. 12; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T19:10Z). Form `t0_b² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. `t0_b² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² p_0 + θ` is first-occasion observed variance, not this extra. `λ² (B / a)² v` is Eq. 5 of `addedTIPREDVAR`, not this first-occasion observed extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra.

CWC plus an event-time lag is not DSEM. Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series does not isolate the lagged within-person effect (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608); already-centered residuals with irregular event intervals use the exact scalar map. - Do not treat the CWC cluster-mean coefficient as the between-cluster effect. It is the contextual effect `between − within` (Enders & Tofighi, 2007, Table 2, pp. 124–127). - Never use future-available evidence in historical model fits. diff --git a/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs b/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs index cca1db76f..16bade13f 100644 --- a/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs +++ b/crates/psychometric_core/src/error.rs @@ -1079,6 +1079,26 @@ pub enum PsychometricError { /// `asymCINTstd`.

It is not DSEM, not RI-CLPM, not a random-effects sampler, not a Kalman filter, and not a matrix `expm` implementation. The CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the **contextual** effect, not the between-cluster effect. Discrete lags from different event intervals are not one coefficient. Equation 14 is not Equation 12. Discrete process noise \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the continuous diffusion \(GG^{\top}\). \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is the conditional residual variance, not \(\operatorname{Var}(\eta_{t})\). Finite-interval \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the stationary within-subject variance. Trait variance is not process noise and not the stationary within-subject variance. Measurement-error variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Latent variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Manifest means are not the observed-indicator mean. The latent mean is not the observed-indicator mean. The continuous intercept is not the manifest mean. The first-occasion latent mean is not the evolved latent mean.

The time-independent `TIPREDEFFECT` increment is not the continuous intercept, not the contemporaneous impulse, not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14), and not the coefficient `B`. The within-interval `TDPREDEFFECT` carry `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the contemporaneous-impulse observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`.

The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TIPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_b z` is not the Eq. 3 process increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `κ`, and not `M x`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z` and is not that process increment. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift.

The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TDPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `κ`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0` and is not that within-interval impulse carry. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TD-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)`.

The first-occasion TI composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. Same numbers as `T0TIPREDEFFECT` yield the same product; Table 3 names a different matrix. The evolved-plus-T0TDPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The §7.2 level-change `CINT` `κ = −a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Lasting level change via that `CINT` setting requires `a < 0`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not that `CINT` setting. The Eq. 3 increment of that setting `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps the equilibrium offset `m x`. The §7.2 extra-process contribution `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. Lasting level change via that extra process requires `ε < 0`. Precisely `ε = 0` causes computational problems in the printed specification. The extra-process observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` is not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`, not the contribution, and not the evolved-plus-contribution latent mean. The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. Table 2 `asymCINT` `-κ / a` is the intercept contribution to the stationary process mean. It is not `κ`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. Lasting asymptotic intercept change via that map requires `a < 0`. Page 16 notes that a `T0MEANS` stationarity constraint includes time-independent predictors; that composition is not this intercept-only map. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion mean `-κ / a + −B z / a` is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` is not `τ + λ μ_0`, not `τ + λ(−κ / a)` when `B z ≠ 0`, not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `MANIFESTMEANS`, and not the constrained latent mean. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, not later-occasion variance, not `e^{a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. A zero-diffusion carry with `a ≥ 0` is `e^{a Δt} p_0` and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined lagged latent covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary first-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not free `p_0`, not lagged covariance, and not later-occasion variance. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay and do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary first-occasion map. As `Δt → 0+` the lagged and later maps approach this composition. Trait-only variance does not require a stable drift. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined first-occasion latent variance, not stationary first-occasion observed variance, and not predetermined later observed variance when `p_0` is free. The later-start lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` is not first-occasion lagged covariance when `u > 0`, not later-occasion variance, not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, and not `e^{a s}` of the later total. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a s}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches first-occasion lagged covariance. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start lagged latent covariance, not first-occasion lagged observed covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-start later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` is not later-occasion variance at `u` when `s > 0`, not later-start lagged covariance, not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a s}` of the later total plus `Q_s`, and not later-occasion variance over the lag interval alone when `u > 0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_s`. Chapman–Kolmogorov writes `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance over `s`. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start later-occasion latent variance, not predetermined later observed variance, not later-start lagged observed covariance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free.

Unstandardised `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is defined for a zero trait and is not `MANIFESTTRAITVARstd`. Zero `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` fails closed. Distinct positive `ψ` recover the same 1. `TRAITVARstd` `trait / trait = 1` recovers the same number and remains a distinct named quantity. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is measurement error, not this correlation. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` does not require `a < 0`.

Equation 5 `λ² Var(η) + θ` is `Var(y)`, not this correlation. `MANIFESTVAR` does not require `a < 0`.

Distinct positive `v` recover the same 1. `MANIFESTVARstd` `θ / θ = 1` recovers the same number and remains a distinct named quantity. Section 7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is extra process variance, not this correlation. `TIPREDVAR` does not require `a < 0`. Page 16 `asymDIFFUSIONstd` is the correlation form `solve(sqrt(diag(asymDIFFUSION))) %&% asymDIFFUSION` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (2017-era `summary.ctsemFit.R` forms it whenever `verbose = TRUE`; OpenMx `%&%` is `t(A) %*% B %*% A`; the 2017-era source adds ridging; the default ridge is 0; `dimnames` are `latentNames`; the scalar map is `p / p = 1`).

Distinct positive `p` recover the same 1. `TIPREDVARstd` `v / v = 1` recovers the same number and remains a distinct named quantity. `DIFFUSIONstd` `q / p = −2 a` is the continuous-diffusion ratio, not this correlation. Lasting `asymDIFFUSION` requires `a < 0`. Page 16 `discreteCINTstd` is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ / √p` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (2017-era `summary.ctsemFit.R` forms unstandardised `discreteCINT` whenever `verbose = TRUE` as `solve(DRIFT) %*% (discreteDRIFT − I) %*% CINT`; that source does not form a `discreteCINTstd` matrix; the scalar map is the footnote 4 standardisation of that named discrete intercept). Unstandardised `discreteCINT` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteCINTstd`. Zero `q` has no positive process SD and fails closed. `κ / √p` does not depend on `Δt` and is not this finite-interval map. `(-κ / a) / √p` is the standardised asymptotic intercept and is not this map.

Lasting `asymDIFFUSION` requires `a < 0`. +This is two-level OLS and a noiseless scalar continuous-time map. It is not DSEM, not RI-CLPM, not a random-effects sampler, not a Kalman filter, and not a matrix `expm` implementation. The CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the **contextual** effect, not the between-cluster effect. Discrete lags from different event intervals are not one coefficient. Equation 14 is not Equation 12. Discrete process noise \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the continuous diffusion \(GG^{\top}\). \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is the conditional residual variance, not \(\operatorname{Var}(\eta_{t})\). Finite-interval \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the stationary within-subject variance. Trait variance is not process noise and not the stationary within-subject variance. Measurement-error variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Latent variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Manifest means are not the observed-indicator mean. The latent mean is not the observed-indicator mean. The continuous intercept is not the manifest mean. The first-occasion latent mean is not the evolved latent mean. The continuous intercept is not the discrete mean increment. The first-occasion observed mean is not the evolved observed mean. The contemporaneous `TDPREDEFFECT` impulse is not the continuous intercept, not the time-independent discrete effect, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The time-independent `TIPREDEFFECT` increment is not the continuous intercept, not the contemporaneous impulse, not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14), and not the coefficient `B`. The within-interval `TDPREDEFFECT` carry `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the contemporaneous-impulse observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not the impulse-carry observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` when `u ≠ t`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the impulse-carry observed mean. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the time-independent-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TIPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_b z` is not the Eq. 3 process increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `κ`, and not `M x`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z` and is not that process increment. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TI-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-T0TIPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TDPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `κ`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0` and is not that within-interval impulse carry. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TD-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. Same numbers as `T0TIPREDEFFECT` yield the same product; Table 3 names a different matrix. The evolved-plus-T0TDPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The §7.2 level-change `CINT` `κ = −a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Lasting level change via that `CINT` setting requires `a < 0`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not that `CINT` setting. The Eq. 3 increment of that setting `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps the equilibrium offset `m x`. The §7.2 extra-process contribution `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. Lasting level change via that extra process requires `ε < 0`. Precisely `ε = 0` causes computational problems in the printed specification. The extra-process observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` is not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`, not the contribution, and not the evolved-plus-contribution latent mean. The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. Table 2 `asymCINT` `-κ / a` is the intercept contribution to the stationary process mean. It is not `κ`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. Lasting asymptotic intercept change via that map requires `a < 0`. Page 16 notes that a `T0MEANS` stationarity constraint includes time-independent predictors; that composition is not this intercept-only map. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion mean `-κ / a + −B z / a` is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` is not `τ + λ μ_0`, not `τ + λ(−κ / a)` when `B z ≠ 0`, not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `MANIFESTMEANS`, and not the constrained latent mean. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, not later-occasion variance, not `e^{a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. A zero-diffusion carry with `a ≥ 0` is `e^{a Δt} p_0` and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined lagged latent covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary first-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not free `p_0`, not lagged covariance, and not later-occasion variance. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay and do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary first-occasion map. As `Δt → 0+` the lagged and later maps approach this composition. Trait-only variance does not require a stable drift. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined first-occasion latent variance, not stationary first-occasion observed variance, and not predetermined later observed variance when `p_0` is free. The later-start lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` is not first-occasion lagged covariance when `u > 0`, not later-occasion variance, not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, and not `e^{a s}` of the later total. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a s}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches first-occasion lagged covariance. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start lagged latent covariance, not first-occasion lagged observed covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-start later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` is not later-occasion variance at `u` when `s > 0`, not later-start lagged covariance, not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a s}` of the later total plus `Q_s`, and not later-occasion variance over the lag interval alone when `u > 0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_s`. Chapman–Kolmogorov writes `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance over `s`. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start later-occasion latent variance, not predetermined later observed variance, not later-start lagged observed covariance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free.

A zero coefficient or zero predictor variance is exactly zero. Free `T0TIPREDEFFECT` does not require `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is `addedTIPREDVAR` and is not this first-occasion map. `t0_b · √v / √p_0` is `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` and is not this variance. Free `T0VAR` is not this extra TI variance. `TRAITVAR` is not this extra TI variance. Equation 5 of 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `λ² t0_b² v`. Form `t0_b² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. `t0_b² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² p_0 + θ` is first-occasion observed variance, not this extra. `λ² (B / a)² v` is Eq. 5 of `addedTIPREDVAR`, not this first-occasion observed extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Equation 5 of §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` is `λ² (B / a)² v`. Form `(B / a)² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. Lasting asymptotic extra requires `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² t0_b² v` is first-occasion extra observed TI variance, not this extra. `λ² p + θ` is stationary observed variance, not this extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Page 16 `TDPREDEFFECTstd` is `m · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive time-dependent predictor variance `v` (footnote 4: standardise using only the relevant variance, not the total; the affecting variance is the TD predictor; the affected variance is `asymDIFFUSION`). Unstandardised `M` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` `B · √v / √p` is a different named matrix even when `M = B`.

Section 4.3 treats the first time point as predetermined when no assumptions are made about the process prior to the initial time point. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is then estimated. Equation 3 writes `η(t) = exp(A Δt) η(t0) + …`. Equation 4 writes `cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) = A_Δt cov(η_{t-1})`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` are time-invariant between-subject and do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. The lagged composition is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Form the lagged free first-occasion covariance first, then include the trait, then include the TI extra variance, then add. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map.

As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. A zero-diffusion carry with `a ≥ 0` is `e^{a Δt} p_0` and is kept. Trait-only variance does not require a stable drift.

Section 4.3 treats the first time point as predetermined when no assumptions are made about the process prior to the initial time point. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is then estimated. The process gradually transitions from the variances of the initial parameters toward those of the parameters when the model is stationary. Equation 3 writes `η(t) = exp(A Δt) η(t0) + … +` the stochastic integral. Equation 4 writes that the integral exhibits covariance `Q_Δt`. The law of total variance on the within-subject state is `e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` are time-invariant between-subject and do not enter that process-noise integral. The later-occasion composition is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v`. Form the evolved free first-occasion variance first, then include the trait, then include the TI extra variance, then add. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map.

Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state (`e^{2 a Δt}` of that total plus `Q_Δt`) is not this map. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not this map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the carried `p_0` vanishes and `Q_Δt` approaches `−q / (2 a)`, so the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. The interval must be event time and strictly positive.

Still not a Kalman filter, not a matrix `expm`, not ESEM estimation, not DSEM, and not ctsem estimation. -- `psychometric_core` evaluates the Driver, Oud, and Voelkle (2017, §7.2) extra-process lag as `e^{ε Δt}` even when `ε Δt` underflows to `0` (`exp(0) = 1`). Nightly branch coverage on #49 head `22b8e68813ad59a9a91689bacfa4cf033dfad158` was 1718/1720: LLVM deleted `if extra_argument == 0.0` / `original_argument == 0.0` True after proving `ε < 0` and `Δt > 0` imply a nonzero product, which binary64 underflow falsifies. The public map now uses `exp` directly; `original_log_rate == 0` remains the Brownian `e^{0} = 1` path.

Section 4.3 treats the first time point as predetermined when no assumptions are made about the process prior to the initial time point. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is then estimated. The process gradually transitions from the variances of the initial parameters toward those of the parameters when the model is stationary. Equation 3 writes `η(t) = exp(A Δt) η(t0) + … +` the stochastic integral. Equation 4 writes that the integral exhibits covariance `Q_Δt`. The law of total variance on the within-subject state is `e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` are time-invariant between-subject and do not enter that process-noise integral. The later-occasion composition is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v`. Form the evolved free first-occasion variance first, then include the trait, then include the TI extra variance, then add. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not this map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state (`e^{2 a Δt}` of that total plus `Q_Δt`) is not this map. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not this map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the carried `p_0` vanishes and `Q_Δt` approaches `−q / (2 a)`, so the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. The interval must be event time and strictly positive.

Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean.

The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T20:20Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. -- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. -- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Later-start lagged covariance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T10:27Z). First-occasion lagged omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Later-occasion variance does not lag. Stationary lagged uses `−q / (2 a)`. Decaying the later total is not that map. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²` of it plus `ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. First-occasion lagged observed omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. -- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Later-start lagged covariance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T10:27Z). First-occasion lagged omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Later-occasion variance does not lag. Stationary lagged uses `−q / (2 a)`. Decaying the later total is not that map. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²` of it plus `ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. First-occasion lagged observed omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Later-start later-occasion variance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 3–4 Chapman–Kolmogorov `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:05Z). Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s`. Later-start lagged covariance omits `Q_s`. Stationary later uses `−q / (2 a)`. Evolving the later total as if it were all state is not that map. Ignoring `startoffset` omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance is `λ²` of it plus `θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that observed variance. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. -- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Later-start lagged covariance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T10:27Z). First-occasion lagged omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Later-occasion variance does not lag. Stationary lagged uses `−q / (2 a)`. Decaying the later total is not that map. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²` of it plus `ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. First-occasion lagged observed omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Later-start later-occasion variance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 3–4 Chapman–Kolmogorov `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:05Z). Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s`. Later-start lagged covariance omits `Q_s`. Stationary later uses `−q / (2 a)`. Evolving the later total as if it were all state is not that map. Ignoring `startoffset` omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance is `λ²` of it plus `θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that observed variance. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; footnote 4; §7.1; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:40Z). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. -- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Later-start lagged covariance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T10:27Z). First-occasion lagged omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Later-occasion variance does not lag. Stationary lagged uses `−q / (2 a)`. Decaying the later total is not that map. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²` of it plus `ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. First-occasion lagged observed omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Later-start later-occasion variance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 3–4 Chapman–Kolmogorov `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:05Z). Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s`. Later-start lagged covariance omits `Q_s`. Stationary later uses `−q / (2 a)`. Evolving the later total as if it were all state is not that map. Ignoring `startoffset` omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance is `λ²` of it plus `θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that observed variance. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; footnote 4; §7.1; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:40Z). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `discreteDIFFUSIONstd` is `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:06Z). Unstandardised `Q_Δt` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. The continuous standardisation `−2 a` is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `Q_Δt / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. -- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Later-start lagged covariance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T10:27Z). First-occasion lagged omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Later-occasion variance does not lag. Stationary lagged uses `−q / (2 a)`. Decaying the later total is not that map. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²` of it plus `ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. First-occasion lagged observed omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Later-start later-occasion variance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 3–4 Chapman–Kolmogorov `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:05Z). Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s`. Later-start lagged covariance omits `Q_s`. Stationary later uses `−q / (2 a)`. Evolving the later total as if it were all state is not that map. Ignoring `startoffset` omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance is `λ²` of it plus `θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that observed variance. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; footnote 4; §7.1; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:40Z). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `discreteDIFFUSIONstd` is `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:06Z). Unstandardised `Q_Δt` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. The continuous standardisation `−2 a` is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `Q_Δt / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DIFFUSIONstd` is `q / (−q / (2 a)) = −2 a` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:20Z). Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` depends on `Δt` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. -- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Later-start lagged covariance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T10:27Z). First-occasion lagged omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Later-occasion variance does not lag. Stationary lagged uses `−q / (2 a)`. Decaying the later total is not that map. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²` of it plus `ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. First-occasion lagged observed omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Later-start later-occasion variance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 3–4 Chapman–Kolmogorov `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:05Z). Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s`. Later-start lagged covariance omits `Q_s`. Stationary later uses `−q / (2 a)`. Evolving the later total as if it were all state is not that map. Ignoring `startoffset` omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance is `λ²` of it plus `θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that observed variance. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; footnote 4; §7.1; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:40Z). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `discreteDIFFUSIONstd` is `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:06Z). Unstandardised `Q_Δt` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. The continuous standardisation `−2 a` is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `Q_Δt / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DIFFUSIONstd` is `q / (−q / (2 a)) = −2 a` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:20Z). Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` depends on `Δt` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DRIFTstd` is the continuous auto-effect after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 1; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:28Z). Unstandardised `a` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DRIFTstd`. The discrete standardisation `e^{a Δt}` depends on the event interval and is not `DRIFTstd`. `a p / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. -- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Later-start lagged covariance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T10:27Z). First-occasion lagged omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Later-occasion variance does not lag. Stationary lagged uses `−q / (2 a)`. Decaying the later total is not that map. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²` of it plus `ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. First-occasion lagged observed omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Later-start later-occasion variance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 3–4 Chapman–Kolmogorov `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:05Z). Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s`. Later-start lagged covariance omits `Q_s`. Stationary later uses `−q / (2 a)`. Evolving the later total as if it were all state is not that map. Ignoring `startoffset` omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance is `λ²` of it plus `θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that observed variance. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; footnote 4; §7.1; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:40Z). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `discreteDIFFUSIONstd` is `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:06Z). Unstandardised `Q_Δt` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. The continuous standardisation `−2 a` is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `Q_Δt / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DIFFUSIONstd` is `q / (−q / (2 a)) = −2 a` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:20Z). Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` depends on `Δt` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DRIFTstd` is the continuous auto-effect after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 1; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:28Z). Unstandardised `a` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DRIFTstd`. The discrete standardisation `e^{a Δt}` depends on the event interval and is not `DRIFTstd`. `a p / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` is `(-B / a) · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T14:25Z). Unstandardised `-B / a` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `(-B / a) · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. -- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Later-start lagged covariance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T10:27Z). First-occasion lagged omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Later-occasion variance does not lag. Stationary lagged uses `−q / (2 a)`. Decaying the later total is not that map. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²` of it plus `ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. First-occasion lagged observed omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Later-start later-occasion variance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 3–4 Chapman–Kolmogorov `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:05Z). Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s`. Later-start lagged covariance omits `Q_s`. Stationary later uses `−q / (2 a)`. Evolving the later total as if it were all state is not that map. Ignoring `startoffset` omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance is `λ²` of it plus `θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that observed variance. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; footnote 4; §7.1; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:40Z). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `discreteDIFFUSIONstd` is `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:06Z). Unstandardised `Q_Δt` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. The continuous standardisation `−2 a` is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `Q_Δt / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DIFFUSIONstd` is `q / (−q / (2 a)) = −2 a` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:20Z). Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` depends on `Δt` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DRIFTstd` is the continuous auto-effect after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 1; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:28Z). Unstandardised `a` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DRIFTstd`. The discrete standardisation `e^{a Δt}` depends on the event interval and is not `DRIFTstd`. `a p / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` is `(-B / a) · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T14:25Z). Unstandardised `-B / a` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `(-B / a) · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. The p. 16 finite-interval standardised `TIPREDEFFECT` is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-24T01:20Z). Unstandardised `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not the standardised finite-interval map. `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the `Δt → ∞` map and is not the finite-interval map. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not the finite-interval map. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. -- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Later-start lagged covariance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T10:27Z). First-occasion lagged omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Later-occasion variance does not lag. Stationary lagged uses `−q / (2 a)`. Decaying the later total is not that map. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²` of it plus `ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. First-occasion lagged observed omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Later-start later-occasion variance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 3–4 Chapman–Kolmogorov `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:05Z). Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s`. Later-start lagged covariance omits `Q_s`. Stationary later uses `−q / (2 a)`. Evolving the later total as if it were all state is not that map. Ignoring `startoffset` omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance is `λ²` of it plus `θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that observed variance. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; footnote 4; §7.1; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:40Z). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `discreteDIFFUSIONstd` is `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:06Z). Unstandardised `Q_Δt` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. The continuous standardisation `−2 a` is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `Q_Δt / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DIFFUSIONstd` is `q / (−q / (2 a)) = −2 a` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:20Z). Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` depends on `Δt` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DRIFTstd` is the continuous auto-effect after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 1; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:28Z). Unstandardised `a` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DRIFTstd`. The discrete standardisation `e^{a Δt}` depends on the event interval and is not `DRIFTstd`. `a p / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` is `(-B / a) · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T14:25Z). Unstandardised `-B / a` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `(-B / a) · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T16:21Z). Unstandardised `B` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The asymptotic standardisation `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `B · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. -- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Later-start lagged covariance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T10:27Z). First-occasion lagged omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Later-occasion variance does not lag. Stationary lagged uses `−q / (2 a)`. Decaying the later total is not that map. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²` of it plus `ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. First-occasion lagged observed omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Later-start later-occasion variance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 3–4 Chapman–Kolmogorov `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:05Z). Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s`. Later-start lagged covariance omits `Q_s`. Stationary later uses `−q / (2 a)`. Evolving the later total as if it were all state is not that map. Ignoring `startoffset` omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance is `λ²` of it plus `θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that observed variance. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; footnote 4; §7.1; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:40Z). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `discreteDIFFUSIONstd` is `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:06Z). Unstandardised `Q_Δt` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. The continuous standardisation `−2 a` is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `Q_Δt / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DIFFUSIONstd` is `q / (−q / (2 a)) = −2 a` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:20Z). Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` depends on `Δt` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DRIFTstd` is the continuous auto-effect after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 1; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:28Z). Unstandardised `a` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DRIFTstd`. The discrete standardisation `e^{a Δt}` depends on the event interval and is not `DRIFTstd`. `a p / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` is `(-B / a) · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T14:25Z). Unstandardised `-B / a` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `(-B / a) · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T16:21Z). Unstandardised `B` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The asymptotic standardisation `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `B · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `CINTstd` is `κ / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 1; Table 2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T17:10Z). Unstandardised `κ` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `CINTstd`. The asymptotic standardisation `(-κ / a) / √p` is the total change and is not `CINTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `CINTstd`. `κ / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `CINTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. -- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Later-start lagged covariance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T10:27Z). First-occasion lagged omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Later-occasion variance does not lag. Stationary lagged uses `−q / (2 a)`. Decaying the later total is not that map. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²` of it plus `ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. First-occasion lagged observed omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Later-start later-occasion variance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 3–4 Chapman–Kolmogorov `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:05Z). Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s`. Later-start lagged covariance omits `Q_s`. Stationary later uses `−q / (2 a)`. Evolving the later total as if it were all state is not that map. Ignoring `startoffset` omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance is `λ²` of it plus `θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that observed variance. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; footnote 4; §7.1; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:40Z). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `discreteDIFFUSIONstd` is `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:06Z). Unstandardised `Q_Δt` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. The continuous standardisation `−2 a` is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `Q_Δt / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DIFFUSIONstd` is `q / (−q / (2 a)) = −2 a` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:20Z). Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` depends on `Δt` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DRIFTstd` is the continuous auto-effect after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 1; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:28Z). Unstandardised `a` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DRIFTstd`. The discrete standardisation `e^{a Δt}` depends on the event interval and is not `DRIFTstd`. `a p / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` is `(-B / a) · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T14:25Z). Unstandardised `-B / a` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `(-B / a) · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T16:21Z). Unstandardised `B` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The asymptotic standardisation `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `B · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 / Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_b · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` `p_0` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; footnote 4; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T17:20Z). The affected variance is free first-occasion `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`. Unstandardised `t0_b` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` is the continuous coefficient and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `t0_b · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. -- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Later-start lagged covariance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T10:27Z). First-occasion lagged omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Later-occasion variance does not lag. Stationary lagged uses `−q / (2 a)`. Decaying the later total is not that map. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²` of it plus `ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. First-occasion lagged observed omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Later-start later-occasion variance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 3–4 Chapman–Kolmogorov `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:05Z). Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s`. Later-start lagged covariance omits `Q_s`. Stationary later uses `−q / (2 a)`. Evolving the later total as if it were all state is not that map. Ignoring `startoffset` omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance is `λ²` of it plus `θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that observed variance. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; footnote 4; §7.1; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:40Z). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `discreteDIFFUSIONstd` is `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:06Z). Unstandardised `Q_Δt` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. The continuous standardisation `−2 a` is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `Q_Δt / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DIFFUSIONstd` is `q / (−q / (2 a)) = −2 a` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:20Z). Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` depends on `Δt` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DRIFTstd` is the continuous auto-effect after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 1; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:28Z). Unstandardised `a` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DRIFTstd`. The discrete standardisation `e^{a Δt}` depends on the event interval and is not `DRIFTstd`. `a p / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` is `(-B / a) · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T14:25Z). Unstandardised `-B / a` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `(-B / a) · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T16:21Z). Unstandardised `B` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The asymptotic standardisation `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `B · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 / Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_b · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` `p_0` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; footnote 4; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T17:20Z). The affected variance is free first-occasion `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`. Unstandardised `t0_b` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` is the continuous coefficient and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `t0_b · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_m · √v_x / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` and strictly positive `TDPREDVAR`. The affecting variance is `TDPREDVAR`, not `TIPREDVAR`. The affected variance is free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`. Unstandardised `t0_m` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. Same numbers as `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` yield the same product; Table 3 names a different matrix. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` uses `asymDIFFUSION` and is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `t0_m · √v_x / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. -- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Later-start lagged covariance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T10:27Z). First-occasion lagged omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Later-occasion variance does not lag. Stationary lagged uses `−q / (2 a)`. Decaying the later total is not that map. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²` of it plus `ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. First-occasion lagged observed omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Later-start later-occasion variance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 3–4 Chapman–Kolmogorov `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:05Z). Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s`. Later-start lagged covariance omits `Q_s`. Stationary later uses `−q / (2 a)`. Evolving the later total as if it were all state is not that map. Ignoring `startoffset` omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance is `λ²` of it plus `θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that observed variance. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; footnote 4; §7.1; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:40Z). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `discreteDIFFUSIONstd` is `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:06Z). Unstandardised `Q_Δt` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. The continuous standardisation `−2 a` is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `Q_Δt / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DIFFUSIONstd` is `q / (−q / (2 a)) = −2 a` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:20Z). Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` depends on `Δt` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DRIFTstd` is the continuous auto-effect after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 1; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:28Z). Unstandardised `a` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DRIFTstd`. The discrete standardisation `e^{a Δt}` depends on the event interval and is not `DRIFTstd`. `a p / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` is `(-B / a) · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T14:25Z). Unstandardised `-B / a` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `(-B / a) · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T16:21Z). Unstandardised `B` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The asymptotic standardisation `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `B · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 / Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_b · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` `p_0` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; footnote 4; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T17:20Z). The affected variance is free first-occasion `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`. Unstandardised `t0_b` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` is the continuous coefficient and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `t0_b · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `t0_b² v` after a first-occasion time-independent predictor (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; §7.2; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T18:20Z). Form `t0_b` first, then square, then multiply by `v`. A zero coefficient or zero predictor variance is exactly zero. Free `T0TIPREDEFFECT` does not require `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is `addedTIPREDVAR` and is not this first-occasion map. `t0_b · √v / √p_0` is `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` and is not this variance. Free `T0VAR` is not this extra TI variance. `TRAITVAR` is not this extra TI variance. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. -- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Later-start lagged covariance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T10:27Z). First-occasion lagged omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Later-occasion variance does not lag. Stationary lagged uses `−q / (2 a)`. Decaying the later total is not that map. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²` of it plus `ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. First-occasion lagged observed omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Later-start later-occasion variance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 3–4 Chapman–Kolmogorov `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:05Z). Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s`. Later-start lagged covariance omits `Q_s`. Stationary later uses `−q / (2 a)`. Evolving the later total as if it were all state is not that map. Ignoring `startoffset` omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance is `λ²` of it plus `θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that observed variance. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; footnote 4; §7.1; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:40Z). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `discreteDIFFUSIONstd` is `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:06Z). Unstandardised `Q_Δt` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. The continuous standardisation `−2 a` is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `Q_Δt / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DIFFUSIONstd` is `q / (−q / (2 a)) = −2 a` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:20Z). Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` depends on `Δt` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DRIFTstd` is the continuous auto-effect after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 1; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:28Z). Unstandardised `a` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DRIFTstd`. The discrete standardisation `e^{a Δt}` depends on the event interval and is not `DRIFTstd`. `a p / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` is `(-B / a) · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T14:25Z). Unstandardised `-B / a` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `(-B / a) · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T16:21Z). Unstandardised `B` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The asymptotic standardisation `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `B · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 / Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_b · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` `p_0` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; footnote 4; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T17:20Z). The affected variance is free first-occasion `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`. Unstandardised `t0_b` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` is the continuous coefficient and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `t0_b · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `t0_b² v` after a first-occasion time-independent predictor (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; §7.2; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T18:20Z). Form `t0_b` first, then square, then multiply by `v`. A zero coefficient or zero predictor variance is exactly zero. Free `T0TIPREDEFFECT` does not require `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is `addedTIPREDVAR` and is not this first-occasion map. `t0_b · √v / √p_0` is `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` and is not this variance. Free `T0VAR` is not this extra TI variance. `TRAITVAR` is not this extra TI variance. Equation 5 of 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `λ² t0_b² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 3, p. 13; Table 2, p. 12; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T19:10Z). Form `t0_b² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. `t0_b² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² p_0 + θ` is first-occasion observed variance, not this extra. `λ² (B / a)² v` is Eq. 5 of `addedTIPREDVAR`, not this first-occasion observed extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. -- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Later-start lagged covariance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T10:27Z). First-occasion lagged omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Later-occasion variance does not lag. Stationary lagged uses `−q / (2 a)`. Decaying the later total is not that map. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²` of it plus `ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. First-occasion lagged observed omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Later-start later-occasion variance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 3–4 Chapman–Kolmogorov `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:05Z). Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s`. Later-start lagged covariance omits `Q_s`. Stationary later uses `−q / (2 a)`. Evolving the later total as if it were all state is not that map. Ignoring `startoffset` omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance is `λ²` of it plus `θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that observed variance. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; footnote 4; §7.1; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:40Z). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `discreteDIFFUSIONstd` is `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:06Z). Unstandardised `Q_Δt` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. The continuous standardisation `−2 a` is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `Q_Δt / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DIFFUSIONstd` is `q / (−q / (2 a)) = −2 a` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:20Z). Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` depends on `Δt` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DRIFTstd` is the continuous auto-effect after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 1; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:28Z). Unstandardised `a` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DRIFTstd`. The discrete standardisation `e^{a Δt}` depends on the event interval and is not `DRIFTstd`. `a p / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` is `(-B / a) · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T14:25Z). Unstandardised `-B / a` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `(-B / a) · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T16:21Z). Unstandardised `B` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The asymptotic standardisation `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `B · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 / Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_b · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` `p_0` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; footnote 4; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T17:20Z). The affected variance is free first-occasion `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`. Unstandardised `t0_b` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` is the continuous coefficient and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `t0_b · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `t0_b² v` after a first-occasion time-independent predictor (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; §7.2; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T18:20Z). Form `t0_b` first, then square, then multiply by `v`. A zero coefficient or zero predictor variance is exactly zero. Free `T0TIPREDEFFECT` does not require `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is `addedTIPREDVAR` and is not this first-occasion map. `t0_b · √v / √p_0` is `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` and is not this variance. Free `T0VAR` is not this extra TI variance. `TRAITVAR` is not this extra TI variance. Equation 5 of 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `λ² t0_b² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 3, p. 13; Table 2, p. 12; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T19:10Z). Form `t0_b² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. `t0_b² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² p_0 + θ` is first-occasion observed variance, not this extra. `λ² (B / a)² v` is Eq. 5 of `addedTIPREDVAR`, not this first-occasion observed extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Equation 5 of §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` is `λ² (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12; §7.2, pp. 20–21; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T19:23Z). Form `(B / a)² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. Lasting asymptotic extra requires `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² t0_b² v` is first-occasion extra observed TI variance, not this extra. `λ² p + θ` is stationary observed variance, not this extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. -- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Later-start lagged covariance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T10:27Z). First-occasion lagged omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Later-occasion variance does not lag. Stationary lagged uses `−q / (2 a)`. Decaying the later total is not that map. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²` of it plus `ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. First-occasion lagged observed omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Later-start later-occasion variance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 3–4 Chapman–Kolmogorov `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:05Z). Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s`. Later-start lagged covariance omits `Q_s`. Stationary later uses `−q / (2 a)`. Evolving the later total as if it were all state is not that map. Ignoring `startoffset` omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance is `λ²` of it plus `θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that observed variance. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; footnote 4; §7.1; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:40Z). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `discreteDIFFUSIONstd` is `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:06Z). Unstandardised `Q_Δt` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. The continuous standardisation `−2 a` is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `Q_Δt / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DIFFUSIONstd` is `q / (−q / (2 a)) = −2 a` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:20Z). Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` depends on `Δt` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DRIFTstd` is the continuous auto-effect after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 1; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:28Z). Unstandardised `a` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DRIFTstd`. The discrete standardisation `e^{a Δt}` depends on the event interval and is not `DRIFTstd`. `a p / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` is `(-B / a) · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T14:25Z). Unstandardised `-B / a` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `(-B / a) · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T16:21Z). Unstandardised `B` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The asymptotic standardisation `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `B · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 / Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_b · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` `p_0` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; footnote 4; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T17:20Z). The affected variance is free first-occasion `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`. Unstandardised `t0_b` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` is the continuous coefficient and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `t0_b · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `t0_b² v` after a first-occasion time-independent predictor (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; §7.2; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T18:20Z). Form `t0_b` first, then square, then multiply by `v`. A zero coefficient or zero predictor variance is exactly zero. Free `T0TIPREDEFFECT` does not require `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is `addedTIPREDVAR` and is not this first-occasion map. `t0_b · √v / √p_0` is `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` and is not this variance. Free `T0VAR` is not this extra TI variance. `TRAITVAR` is not this extra TI variance. Equation 5 of 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `λ² t0_b² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 3, p. 13; Table 2, p. 12; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T19:10Z). Form `t0_b² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. `t0_b² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² p_0 + θ` is first-occasion observed variance, not this extra. `λ² (B / a)² v` is Eq. 5 of `addedTIPREDVAR`, not this first-occasion observed extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Equation 5 of §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` is `λ² (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12; §7.2, pp. 20–21; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T19:23Z). Form `(B / a)² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. Lasting asymptotic extra requires `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² t0_b² v` is first-occasion extra observed TI variance, not this extra. `λ² p + θ` is stationary observed variance, not this extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Page 16 `TDPREDEFFECTstd` is `m · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` and strictly positive time-dependent predictor variance. Unstandardised `M` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd` even when `M = B`. intercept-style `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] M · √v / √p` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `m · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. -- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Later-start lagged covariance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T10:27Z). First-occasion lagged omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Later-occasion variance does not lag. Stationary lagged uses `−q / (2 a)`. Decaying the later total is not that map. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²` of it plus `ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. First-occasion lagged observed omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Later-start later-occasion variance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 3–4 Chapman–Kolmogorov `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:05Z). Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s`. Later-start lagged covariance omits `Q_s`. Stationary later uses `−q / (2 a)`. Evolving the later total as if it were all state is not that map. Ignoring `startoffset` omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance is `λ²` of it plus `θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that observed variance. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; footnote 4; §7.1; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:40Z). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `discreteDIFFUSIONstd` is `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:06Z). Unstandardised `Q_Δt` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. The continuous standardisation `−2 a` is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `Q_Δt / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DIFFUSIONstd` is `q / (−q / (2 a)) = −2 a` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:20Z). Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` depends on `Δt` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DRIFTstd` is the continuous auto-effect after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 1; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:28Z). Unstandardised `a` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DRIFTstd`. The discrete standardisation `e^{a Δt}` depends on the event interval and is not `DRIFTstd`. `a p / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` is `(-B / a) · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T14:25Z). Unstandardised `-B / a` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `(-B / a) · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T16:21Z). Unstandardised `B` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The asymptotic standardisation `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `B · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 / Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_b · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` `p_0` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; footnote 4; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T17:20Z). The affected variance is free first-occasion `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`. Unstandardised `t0_b` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` is the continuous coefficient and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `t0_b · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `t0_b² v` after a first-occasion time-independent predictor (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; §7.2; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T18:20Z). Form `t0_b` first, then square, then multiply by `v`. A zero coefficient or zero predictor variance is exactly zero. Free `T0TIPREDEFFECT` does not require `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is `addedTIPREDVAR` and is not this first-occasion map. `t0_b · √v / √p_0` is `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` and is not this variance. Free `T0VAR` is not this extra TI variance. `TRAITVAR` is not this extra TI variance. Equation 5 of 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `λ² t0_b² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 3, p. 13; Table 2, p. 12; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T19:10Z). Form `t0_b² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. `t0_b² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² p_0 + θ` is first-occasion observed variance, not this extra. `λ² (B / a)² v` is Eq. 5 of `addedTIPREDVAR`, not this first-occasion observed extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Equation 5 of §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` is `λ² (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12; §7.2, pp. 20–21; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T19:23Z). Form `(B / a)² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. Lasting asymptotic extra requires `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² t0_b² v` is first-occasion extra observed TI variance, not this extra. `λ² p + θ` is stationary observed variance, not this extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. 2017-era `addedTIPREDVARstd` is `extra / extra = 1` after strictly positive extra (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T21:22Z; OpenMx `%&%` is the quadratic form; form `(B / a)² v` first, then the ratio; zero extra fails closed; the default `ridging = FALSE` does not add `0.0001`; unstandardised `(B / a)² v` is not this correlation; `λ² (B / a)² v` is Eq. 5 of the extra, not this correlation; `t0_b² v` is `addedT0TIPREDVAR`, not this asymptotic extra correlation; `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance; the printed 2-latent `addedTIPREDVAR` 2.838 is not this scalar 1). Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. -- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Later-start lagged covariance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T10:27Z). First-occasion lagged omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Later-occasion variance does not lag. Stationary lagged uses `−q / (2 a)`. Decaying the later total is not that map. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²` of it plus `ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. First-occasion lagged observed omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Later-start later-occasion variance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 3–4 Chapman–Kolmogorov `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:05Z). Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s`. Later-start lagged covariance omits `Q_s`. Stationary later uses `−q / (2 a)`. Evolving the later total as if it were all state is not that map. Ignoring `startoffset` omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance is `λ²` of it plus `θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that observed variance. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; footnote 4; §7.1; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:40Z). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `discreteDIFFUSIONstd` is `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:06Z). Unstandardised `Q_Δt` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. The continuous standardisation `−2 a` is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `Q_Δt / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DIFFUSIONstd` is `q / (−q / (2 a)) = −2 a` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:20Z). Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` depends on `Δt` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DRIFTstd` is the continuous auto-effect after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 1; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:28Z). Unstandardised `a` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DRIFTstd`. The discrete standardisation `e^{a Δt}` depends on the event interval and is not `DRIFTstd`. `a p / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` is `(-B / a) · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T14:25Z). Unstandardised `-B / a` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `(-B / a) · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T16:21Z). Unstandardised `B` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The asymptotic standardisation `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `B · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 / Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_b · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` `p_0` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; footnote 4; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T17:20Z). The affected variance is free first-occasion `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`. Unstandardised `t0_b` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` is the continuous coefficient and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `t0_b · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `t0_b² v` after a first-occasion time-independent predictor (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; §7.2; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T18:20Z). Form `t0_b` first, then square, then multiply by `v`. A zero coefficient or zero predictor variance is exactly zero. Free `T0TIPREDEFFECT` does not require `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is `addedTIPREDVAR` and is not this first-occasion map. `t0_b · √v / √p_0` is `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` and is not this variance. Free `T0VAR` is not this extra TI variance. `TRAITVAR` is not this extra TI variance. Equation 5 of 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `λ² t0_b² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 3, p. 13; Table 2, p. 12; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T19:10Z). Form `t0_b² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. `t0_b² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² p_0 + θ` is first-occasion observed variance, not this extra. `λ² (B / a)² v` is Eq. 5 of `addedTIPREDVAR`, not this first-occasion observed extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Equation 5 of §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` is `λ² (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12; §7.2, pp. 20–21; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T19:23Z). Form `(B / a)² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. Lasting asymptotic extra requires `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² t0_b² v` is first-occasion extra observed TI variance, not this extra. `λ² p + θ` is stationary observed variance, not this extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Page 16 `TDPREDEFFECTstd` is `m · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` and strictly positive time-dependent predictor variance. Unstandardised `M` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd` even when `M = B`. intercept-style `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] M · √v / √p` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `m · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. Table 3 / p. 16 `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_m · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` and strictly positive TD predictor variance. Unstandardised `t0_m` is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `TDPREDEFFECTstd` uses `asymDIFFUSION` and is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd` even when `t0_m = t0_b`. `t0_m · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. Free `T0VAR` does not require `a < 0`. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. -- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Later-start lagged covariance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T10:27Z). First-occasion lagged omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Later-occasion variance does not lag. Stationary lagged uses `−q / (2 a)`. Decaying the later total is not that map. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²` of it plus `ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. First-occasion lagged observed omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Later-start later-occasion variance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 3–4 Chapman–Kolmogorov `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:05Z). Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s`. Later-start lagged covariance omits `Q_s`. Stationary later uses `−q / (2 a)`. Evolving the later total as if it were all state is not that map. Ignoring `startoffset` omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance is `λ²` of it plus `θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that observed variance. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; footnote 4; §7.1; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:40Z). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `discreteDIFFUSIONstd` is `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:06Z). Unstandardised `Q_Δt` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. The continuous standardisation `−2 a` is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `Q_Δt / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DIFFUSIONstd` is `q / (−q / (2 a)) = −2 a` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:20Z). Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` depends on `Δt` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DRIFTstd` is the continuous auto-effect after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 1; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:28Z). Unstandardised `a` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DRIFTstd`. The discrete standardisation `e^{a Δt}` depends on the event interval and is not `DRIFTstd`. `a p / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` is `(-B / a) · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T14:25Z). Unstandardised `-B / a` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `(-B / a) · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T16:21Z). Unstandardised `B` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The asymptotic standardisation `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `B · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 / Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_b · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` `p_0` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; footnote 4; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T17:20Z). The affected variance is free first-occasion `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`. Unstandardised `t0_b` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` is the continuous coefficient and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `t0_b · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `t0_b² v` after a first-occasion time-independent predictor (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; §7.2; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T18:20Z). Form `t0_b` first, then square, then multiply by `v`. A zero coefficient or zero predictor variance is exactly zero. Free `T0TIPREDEFFECT` does not require `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is `addedTIPREDVAR` and is not this first-occasion map. `t0_b · √v / √p_0` is `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` and is not this variance. Free `T0VAR` is not this extra TI variance. `TRAITVAR` is not this extra TI variance. Equation 5 of 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `λ² t0_b² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 3, p. 13; Table 2, p. 12; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T19:10Z). Form `t0_b² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. `t0_b² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² p_0 + θ` is first-occasion observed variance, not this extra. `λ² (B / a)² v` is Eq. 5 of `addedTIPREDVAR`, not this first-occasion observed extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Equation 5 of §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` is `λ² (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12; §7.2, pp. 20–21; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T19:23Z). Form `(B / a)² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. Lasting asymptotic extra requires `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² t0_b² v` is first-occasion extra observed TI variance, not this extra. `λ² p + θ` is stationary observed variance, not this extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Page 16 `TDPREDEFFECTstd` is `m · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` and strictly positive time-dependent predictor variance. Unstandardised `M` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd` even when `M = B`. intercept-style `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] M · √v / √p` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `m · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. Table 3 / p. 16 `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_m · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` and strictly positive TD predictor variance. Unstandardised `t0_m` is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `TDPREDEFFECTstd` uses `asymDIFFUSION` and is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd` even when `t0_m = t0_b`. `t0_m · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. Free `T0VAR` does not require `a < 0`. Page 16 `T0VARstd` is `p_0 / p_0 = 1` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` (`solve(sqrt(diag(T0VAR))) %&% T0VAR`; OpenMx `%&%` is `t(A) %*% B %*% A`; the default ridge is 0). Unstandardised `T0VAR` is not `T0VARstd`. `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd` is not `T0VARstd`. `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is not `T0VARstd`. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. -- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Later-start lagged covariance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T10:27Z). First-occasion lagged omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Later-occasion variance does not lag. Stationary lagged uses `−q / (2 a)`. Decaying the later total is not that map. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²` of it plus `ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. First-occasion lagged observed omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Later-start later-occasion variance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 3–4 Chapman–Kolmogorov `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:05Z). Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s`. Later-start lagged covariance omits `Q_s`. Stationary later uses `−q / (2 a)`. Evolving the later total as if it were all state is not that map. Ignoring `startoffset` omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance is `λ²` of it plus `θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that observed variance. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; footnote 4; §7.1; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:40Z). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `discreteDIFFUSIONstd` is `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:06Z). Unstandardised `Q_Δt` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. The continuous standardisation `−2 a` is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `Q_Δt / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DIFFUSIONstd` is `q / (−q / (2 a)) = −2 a` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:20Z). Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` depends on `Δt` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DRIFTstd` is the continuous auto-effect after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 1; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:28Z). Unstandardised `a` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DRIFTstd`. The discrete standardisation `e^{a Δt}` depends on the event interval and is not `DRIFTstd`. `a p / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` is `(-B / a) · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T14:25Z). Unstandardised `-B / a` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `(-B / a) · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T16:21Z). Unstandardised `B` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The asymptotic standardisation `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `B · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 / Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_b · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` `p_0` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; footnote 4; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T17:20Z). The affected variance is free first-occasion `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`. Unstandardised `t0_b` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` is the continuous coefficient and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `t0_b · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `t0_b² v` after a first-occasion time-independent predictor (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; §7.2; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T18:20Z). Form `t0_b` first, then square, then multiply by `v`. A zero coefficient or zero predictor variance is exactly zero. Free `T0TIPREDEFFECT` does not require `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is `addedTIPREDVAR` and is not this first-occasion map. `t0_b · √v / √p_0` is `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` and is not this variance. Free `T0VAR` is not this extra TI variance. `TRAITVAR` is not this extra TI variance. Equation 5 of 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `λ² t0_b² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 3, p. 13; Table 2, p. 12; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T19:10Z). Form `t0_b² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. `t0_b² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² p_0 + θ` is first-occasion observed variance, not this extra. `λ² (B / a)² v` is Eq. 5 of `addedTIPREDVAR`, not this first-occasion observed extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Equation 5 of §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` is `λ² (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12; §7.2, pp. 20–21; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T19:23Z). Form `(B / a)² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. Lasting asymptotic extra requires `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² t0_b² v` is first-occasion extra observed TI variance, not this extra. `λ² p + θ` is stationary observed variance, not this extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Page 16 `TDPREDEFFECTstd` is `m · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` and strictly positive time-dependent predictor variance. Unstandardised `M` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd` even when `M = B`. intercept-style `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] M · √v / √p` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `m · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. Table 3 / p. 16 `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_m · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` and strictly positive TD predictor variance. Unstandardised `t0_m` is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `TDPREDEFFECTstd` uses `asymDIFFUSION` and is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd` even when `t0_m = t0_b`. `t0_m · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. Free `T0VAR` does not require `a < 0`. The scalar analog of 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` for the first-occasion TD coefficient is `t0_m² v` (2017-era `summary.ctsemFit.R` comments out `TDPREDVAR` and does not form `addedT0TDPREDVAR`; Table 2 names `T0TDPREDCOV` the first-occasion covariance, not this extra; Table 3 names `T0TIPREDEFFECT`, not a TD first-occasion effect matrix). `t0_b² v` is `addedT0TIPREDVAR` and is not this extra even when `t0_m = t0_b`. `t0_m · √v / √p_0` is `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd` and is not this variance. `T0TDPREDCOV` is the covariance, not `t0_m² v`. Free `T0VAR` is not this extra. `TRAITVAR` is not this extra. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. -- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Later-start lagged covariance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T10:27Z). First-occasion lagged omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Later-occasion variance does not lag. Stationary lagged uses `−q / (2 a)`. Decaying the later total is not that map. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²` of it plus `ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. First-occasion lagged observed omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Later-start later-occasion variance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 3–4 Chapman–Kolmogorov `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:05Z). Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s`. Later-start lagged covariance omits `Q_s`. Stationary later uses `−q / (2 a)`. Evolving the later total as if it were all state is not that map. Ignoring `startoffset` omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance is `λ²` of it plus `θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that observed variance. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; footnote 4; §7.1; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:40Z). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `discreteDIFFUSIONstd` is `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:06Z). Unstandardised `Q_Δt` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. The continuous standardisation `−2 a` is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `Q_Δt / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DIFFUSIONstd` is `q / (−q / (2 a)) = −2 a` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:20Z). Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` depends on `Δt` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DRIFTstd` is the continuous auto-effect after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 1; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:28Z). Unstandardised `a` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DRIFTstd`. The discrete standardisation `e^{a Δt}` depends on the event interval and is not `DRIFTstd`. `a p / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` is `(-B / a) · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T14:25Z). Unstandardised `-B / a` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `(-B / a) · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T16:21Z). Unstandardised `B` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The asymptotic standardisation `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `B · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 / Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_b · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` `p_0` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; footnote 4; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T17:20Z). The affected variance is free first-occasion `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`. Unstandardised `t0_b` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` is the continuous coefficient and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `t0_b · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `t0_b² v` after a first-occasion time-independent predictor (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; §7.2; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T18:20Z). Form `t0_b` first, then square, then multiply by `v`. A zero coefficient or zero predictor variance is exactly zero. Free `T0TIPREDEFFECT` does not require `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is `addedTIPREDVAR` and is not this first-occasion map. `t0_b · √v / √p_0` is `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` and is not this variance. Free `T0VAR` is not this extra TI variance. `TRAITVAR` is not this extra TI variance. Equation 5 of 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `λ² t0_b² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 3, p. 13; Table 2, p. 12; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T19:10Z). Form `t0_b² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. `t0_b² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² p_0 + θ` is first-occasion observed variance, not this extra. `λ² (B / a)² v` is Eq. 5 of `addedTIPREDVAR`, not this first-occasion observed extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Equation 5 of §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` is `λ² (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12; §7.2, pp. 20–21; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T19:23Z). Form `(B / a)² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. Lasting asymptotic extra requires `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² t0_b² v` is first-occasion extra observed TI variance, not this extra. `λ² p + θ` is stationary observed variance, not this extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Page 16 `TDPREDEFFECTstd` is `m · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` and strictly positive time-dependent predictor variance. Unstandardised `M` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd` even when `M = B`. intercept-style `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] M · √v / √p` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `m · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. Table 3 / p. 16 `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_m · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` and strictly positive TD predictor variance. Unstandardised `t0_m` is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `TDPREDEFFECTstd` uses `asymDIFFUSION` and is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd` even when `t0_m = t0_b`. `t0_m · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. Free `T0VAR` does not require `a < 0`. Page 16 `T0VARstd` is `p_0 / p_0 = 1` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` (`solve(sqrt(diag(T0VAR))) %&% T0VAR`; OpenMx `%&%` is `t(A) %*% B %*% A`; the default ridge is 0). Unstandardised `T0VAR` is not `T0VARstd`. `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd` is not `T0VARstd`. `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is not `T0VARstd`. Page 16 `TRAITVARstd` is `trait / trait = 1` after strictly positive `TRAITVAR` (`solve(sqrt(diag(TRAITVAR))) %&% TRAITVAR`; OpenMx `%&%` is `t(A) %*% B %*% A`; no ridge addend). Unstandardised `TRAITVAR` is not `TRAITVARstd`. `T0VARstd` is not `TRAITVARstd` even when both equal 1. `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is not `TRAITVARstd`. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. -- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Later-start lagged covariance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T10:27Z). First-occasion lagged omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Later-occasion variance does not lag. Stationary lagged uses `−q / (2 a)`. Decaying the later total is not that map. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²` of it plus `ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. First-occasion lagged observed omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Later-start later-occasion variance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 3–4 Chapman–Kolmogorov `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:05Z). Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s`. Later-start lagged covariance omits `Q_s`. Stationary later uses `−q / (2 a)`. Evolving the later total as if it were all state is not that map. Ignoring `startoffset` omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance is `λ²` of it plus `θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that observed variance. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; footnote 4; §7.1; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:40Z). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `discreteDIFFUSIONstd` is `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:06Z). Unstandardised `Q_Δt` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. The continuous standardisation `−2 a` is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `Q_Δt / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DIFFUSIONstd` is `q / (−q / (2 a)) = −2 a` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:20Z). Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` depends on `Δt` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DRIFTstd` is the continuous auto-effect after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 1; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:28Z). Unstandardised `a` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DRIFTstd`. The discrete standardisation `e^{a Δt}` depends on the event interval and is not `DRIFTstd`. `a p / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` is `(-B / a) · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T14:25Z). Unstandardised `-B / a` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `(-B / a) · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T16:21Z). Unstandardised `B` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The asymptotic standardisation `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `B · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 / Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_b · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` `p_0` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; footnote 4; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T17:20Z). The affected variance is free first-occasion `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`. Unstandardised `t0_b` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` is the continuous coefficient and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `t0_b · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `t0_b² v` after a first-occasion time-independent predictor (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; §7.2; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T18:20Z). Form `t0_b` first, then square, then multiply by `v`. A zero coefficient or zero predictor variance is exactly zero. Free `T0TIPREDEFFECT` does not require `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is `addedTIPREDVAR` and is not this first-occasion map. `t0_b · √v / √p_0` is `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` and is not this variance. Free `T0VAR` is not this extra TI variance. `TRAITVAR` is not this extra TI variance. Equation 5 of 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `λ² t0_b² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 3, p. 13; Table 2, p. 12; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T19:10Z). Form `t0_b² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. `t0_b² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² p_0 + θ` is first-occasion observed variance, not this extra. `λ² (B / a)² v` is Eq. 5 of `addedTIPREDVAR`, not this first-occasion observed extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Equation 5 of §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` is `λ² (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12; §7.2, pp. 20–21; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T19:23Z). Form `(B / a)² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. Lasting asymptotic extra requires `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² t0_b² v` is first-occasion extra observed TI variance, not this extra. `λ² p + θ` is stationary observed variance, not this extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Page 16 `TDPREDEFFECTstd` is `m · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` and strictly positive time-dependent predictor variance. Unstandardised `M` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd` even when `M = B`. intercept-style `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] M · √v / √p` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `m · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. Table 3 / p. 16 `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_m · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` and strictly positive TD predictor variance. Unstandardised `t0_m` is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `TDPREDEFFECTstd` uses `asymDIFFUSION` and is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd` even when `t0_m = t0_b`. `t0_m · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. Free `T0VAR` does not require `a < 0`. Page 16 `T0VARstd` is `p_0 / p_0 = 1` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` (`solve(sqrt(diag(T0VAR))) %&% T0VAR`; OpenMx `%&%` is `t(A) %*% B %*% A`; the default ridge is 0). Unstandardised `T0VAR` is not `T0VARstd`. `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd` is not `T0VARstd`. `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is not `T0VARstd`. Page 16 `TRAITVARstd` is `trait / trait = 1` after strictly positive `TRAITVAR` (`solve(sqrt(diag(TRAITVAR))) %&% TRAITVAR`; OpenMx `%&%` is `t(A) %*% B %*% A`; no ridge addend). Unstandardised `TRAITVAR` is not `TRAITVARstd`. `T0VARstd` is not `TRAITVARstd` even when both equal 1. `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is not `TRAITVARstd`. Page 16 `MANIFESTTRAITVARstd` is `ψ / ψ = 1` after strictly positive `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` (`solve(sqrt(diag(MANIFESTTRAITVAR))) %&% MANIFESTTRAITVAR`; OpenMx `%&%` is `t(A) %*% B %*% A`; 2017-era source adds ridging; default ridge is 0). Unstandardised `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is not `MANIFESTTRAITVARstd`. `TRAITVARstd` is not `MANIFESTTRAITVARstd` even when both equal 1. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `MANIFESTTRAITVARstd`. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. -- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Later-start lagged covariance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T10:27Z). First-occasion lagged omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Later-occasion variance does not lag. Stationary lagged uses `−q / (2 a)`. Decaying the later total is not that map. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²` of it plus `ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. First-occasion lagged observed omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Later-start later-occasion variance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 3–4 Chapman–Kolmogorov `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:05Z). Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s`. Later-start lagged covariance omits `Q_s`. Stationary later uses `−q / (2 a)`. Evolving the later total as if it were all state is not that map. Ignoring `startoffset` omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance is `λ²` of it plus `θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that observed variance. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; footnote 4; §7.1; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:40Z). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `discreteDIFFUSIONstd` is `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:06Z). Unstandardised `Q_Δt` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. The continuous standardisation `−2 a` is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `Q_Δt / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DIFFUSIONstd` is `q / (−q / (2 a)) = −2 a` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:20Z). Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` depends on `Δt` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DRIFTstd` is the continuous auto-effect after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 1; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:28Z). Unstandardised `a` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DRIFTstd`. The discrete standardisation `e^{a Δt}` depends on the event interval and is not `DRIFTstd`. `a p / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` is `(-B / a) · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T14:25Z). Unstandardised `-B / a` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `(-B / a) · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T16:21Z). Unstandardised `B` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The asymptotic standardisation `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `B · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 / Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_b · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` `p_0` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; footnote 4; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T17:20Z). The affected variance is free first-occasion `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`. Unstandardised `t0_b` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` is the continuous coefficient and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `t0_b · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `t0_b² v` after a first-occasion time-independent predictor (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; §7.2; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T18:20Z). Form `t0_b` first, then square, then multiply by `v`. A zero coefficient or zero predictor variance is exactly zero. Free `T0TIPREDEFFECT` does not require `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is `addedTIPREDVAR` and is not this first-occasion map. `t0_b · √v / √p_0` is `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` and is not this variance. Free `T0VAR` is not this extra TI variance. `TRAITVAR` is not this extra TI variance. Equation 5 of 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `λ² t0_b² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 3, p. 13; Table 2, p. 12; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T19:10Z). Form `t0_b² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. `t0_b² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² p_0 + θ` is first-occasion observed variance, not this extra. `λ² (B / a)² v` is Eq. 5 of `addedTIPREDVAR`, not this first-occasion observed extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Equation 5 of §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` is `λ² (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12; §7.2, pp. 20–21; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T19:23Z). Form `(B / a)² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. Lasting asymptotic extra requires `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² t0_b² v` is first-occasion extra observed TI variance, not this extra. `λ² p + θ` is stationary observed variance, not this extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Page 16 `TDPREDEFFECTstd` is `m · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` and strictly positive time-dependent predictor variance. Unstandardised `M` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd` even when `M = B`. intercept-style `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] M · √v / √p` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `m · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. Table 3 / p. 16 `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_m · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` and strictly positive TD predictor variance. Unstandardised `t0_m` is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `TDPREDEFFECTstd` uses `asymDIFFUSION` and is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd` even when `t0_m = t0_b`. `t0_m · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. Free `T0VAR` does not require `a < 0`. The scalar analog of 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` for the first-occasion TD coefficient is `t0_m² v` (2017-era `summary.ctsemFit.R` comments out `TDPREDVAR` and does not form `addedT0TDPREDVAR`; Table 2 names `T0TDPREDCOV` the first-occasion covariance, not this extra; Table 3 names `T0TIPREDEFFECT`, not a TD first-occasion effect matrix). `t0_b² v` is `addedT0TIPREDVAR` and is not this extra even when `t0_m = t0_b`. `t0_m · √v / √p_0` is `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd` and is not this variance. `T0TDPREDCOV` is the covariance, not `t0_m² v`. Free `T0VAR` is not this extra. `TRAITVAR` is not this extra. Equation 5 of that analog extra is `λ² t0_m² v`. Form `t0_m² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. `t0_m² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² p_0 + θ` is first-occasion observed variance, not this extra. `λ² t0_b² v` is Eq. 5 of `addedT0TIPREDVAR` and is not this extra even when `t0_m = t0_b`. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. -- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Later-start lagged covariance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T10:27Z). First-occasion lagged omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Later-occasion variance does not lag. Stationary lagged uses `−q / (2 a)`. Decaying the later total is not that map. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²` of it plus `ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. First-occasion lagged observed omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Later-start later-occasion variance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 3–4 Chapman–Kolmogorov `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:05Z). Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s`. Later-start lagged covariance omits `Q_s`. Stationary later uses `−q / (2 a)`. Evolving the later total as if it were all state is not that map. Ignoring `startoffset` omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance is `λ²` of it plus `θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that observed variance. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; footnote 4; §7.1; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:40Z). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `discreteDIFFUSIONstd` is `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:06Z). Unstandardised `Q_Δt` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. The continuous standardisation `−2 a` is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `Q_Δt / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DIFFUSIONstd` is `q / (−q / (2 a)) = −2 a` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:20Z). Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` depends on `Δt` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DRIFTstd` is the continuous auto-effect after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 1; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:28Z). Unstandardised `a` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DRIFTstd`. The discrete standardisation `e^{a Δt}` depends on the event interval and is not `DRIFTstd`. `a p / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` is `(-B / a) · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T14:25Z). Unstandardised `-B / a` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `(-B / a) · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance.

Unstandardised `B` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The asymptotic standardisation `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `B · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 / Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_b · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` `p_0` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; footnote 4; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T17:20Z). The affected variance is free first-occasion `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`. Unstandardised `t0_b` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` is the continuous coefficient and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `t0_b · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `t0_b² v` after a first-occasion time-independent predictor (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; §7.2; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T18:20Z). Form `t0_b` first, then square, then multiply by `v`. A zero coefficient or zero predictor variance is exactly zero. Free `T0TIPREDEFFECT` does not require `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is `addedTIPREDVAR` and is not this first-occasion map. `t0_b · √v / √p_0` is `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` and is not this variance. Free `T0VAR` is not this extra TI variance. `TRAITVAR` is not this extra TI variance. Equation 5 of 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `λ² t0_b² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 3, p. 13; Table 2, p. 12; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T19:10Z).

The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Later-start lagged covariance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T10:27Z). First-occasion lagged omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Later-occasion variance does not lag. Stationary lagged uses `−q / (2 a)`. Decaying the later total is not that map. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²` of it plus `ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. First-occasion lagged observed omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Later-start later-occasion variance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 3–4 Chapman–Kolmogorov `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:05Z). Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s`. Later-start lagged covariance omits `Q_s`. Stationary later uses `−q / (2 a)`. Evolving the later total as if it were all state is not that map. Ignoring `startoffset` omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance is `λ²` of it plus `θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that observed variance. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; footnote 4; §7.1; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:40Z). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `discreteDIFFUSIONstd` is `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:06Z). Unstandardised `Q_Δt` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. The continuous standardisation `−2 a` is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `Q_Δt / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DIFFUSIONstd` is `q / (−q / (2 a)) = −2 a` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:20Z). Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` depends on `Δt` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DRIFTstd` is the continuous auto-effect after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 1; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:28Z). Unstandardised `a` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DRIFTstd`. The discrete standardisation `e^{a Δt}` depends on the event interval and is not `DRIFTstd`. `a p / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` is `(-B / a) · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T14:25Z). Unstandardised `-B / a` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `(-B / a) · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T16:21Z). Unstandardised `B` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The asymptotic standardisation `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `B · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 / Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_b · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` `p_0` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; footnote 4; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T17:20Z). The affected variance is free first-occasion `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`. Unstandardised `t0_b` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` is the continuous coefficient and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `t0_b · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `t0_b² v` after a first-occasion time-independent predictor (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; §7.2; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T18:20Z). Form `t0_b` first, then square, then multiply by `v`. A zero coefficient or zero predictor variance is exactly zero. Free `T0TIPREDEFFECT` does not require `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is `addedTIPREDVAR` and is not this first-occasion map. `t0_b · √v / √p_0` is `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` and is not this variance. Free `T0VAR` is not this extra TI variance. `TRAITVAR` is not this extra TI variance. Equation 5 of 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `λ² t0_b² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 3, p. 13; Table 2, p. 12; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T19:10Z). Form `t0_b² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. `t0_b² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² p_0 + θ` is first-occasion observed variance, not this extra. `λ² (B / a)² v` is Eq. 5 of `addedTIPREDVAR`, not this first-occasion observed extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Equation 5 of §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` is `λ² (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12; §7.2, pp. 20–21; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T19:23Z). Form `(B / a)² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. Lasting asymptotic extra requires `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² t0_b² v` is first-occasion extra observed TI variance, not this extra. `λ² p + θ` is stationary observed variance, not this extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Page 16 `TDPREDEFFECTstd` is `m · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` and strictly positive time-dependent predictor variance. Unstandardised `M` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd` even when `M = B`. intercept-style `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] M · √v / √p` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `m · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. Table 3 / p. 16 `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_m · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` and strictly positive TD predictor variance. Unstandardised `t0_m` is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `TDPREDEFFECTstd` uses `asymDIFFUSION` and is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd` even when `t0_m = t0_b`. `t0_m · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. Free `T0VAR` does not require `a < 0`. Page 16 `T0VARstd` is `p_0 / p_0 = 1` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` (`solve(sqrt(diag(T0VAR))) %&% T0VAR`; OpenMx `%&%` is `t(A) %*% B %*% A`; the default ridge is 0). Unstandardised `T0VAR` is not `T0VARstd`. `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd` is not `T0VARstd`. `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is not `T0VARstd`. Page 16 `TRAITVARstd` is `trait / trait = 1` after strictly positive `TRAITVAR` (`solve(sqrt(diag(TRAITVAR))) %&% TRAITVAR`; OpenMx `%&%` is `t(A) %*% B %*% A`; no ridge addend). Unstandardised `TRAITVAR` is not `TRAITVARstd`. `T0VARstd` is not `TRAITVARstd` even when both equal 1. `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is not `TRAITVARstd`. Page 16 `MANIFESTTRAITVARstd` is `ψ / ψ = 1` after strictly positive `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` (`solve(sqrt(diag(MANIFESTTRAITVAR))) %&% MANIFESTTRAITVAR`; OpenMx `%&%` is `t(A) %*% B %*% A`; 2017-era source adds ridging; default ridge is 0). Unstandardised `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is not `MANIFESTTRAITVARstd`. `TRAITVARstd` is not `MANIFESTTRAITVARstd` even when both equal 1. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `MANIFESTTRAITVARstd`. Page 16 `MANIFESTVARstd` is `θ / θ = 1` after strictly positive `MANIFESTVAR` (`solve(sqrt(diag(MANIFESTVAR))) %&% MANIFESTVAR`; OpenMx `%&%` is `t(A) %*% B %*% A`; 2017-era source adds ridging; default ridge is 0; 2017-era `dimnames` assignment to `latentNames` is a source bug). Unstandardised `MANIFESTVAR` is not `MANIFESTVARstd`. `MANIFESTTRAITVARstd` is not `MANIFESTVARstd` even when both equal 1. Equation 5 `Var(y)` is not `MANIFESTVARstd`. Page 16 `TIPREDVARstd` is `v / v = 1` after strictly positive `TIPREDVAR` (`solve(sqrt(diag(TIPREDVAR))) %&% TIPREDVAR`; OpenMx `%&%` is `t(A) %*% B %*% A`; 2017-era source adds ridging; default ridge is 0; `dimnames` are `TIpredNames`). Unstandardised `TIPREDVAR` is not `TIPREDVARstd`. `MANIFESTVARstd` is not `TIPREDVARstd` even when both equal 1. Section 7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` is not `TIPREDVARstd`. Page 16 `asymDIFFUSIONstd` is `p / p = 1` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` (`solve(sqrt(diag(asymDIFFUSION))) %&% asymDIFFUSION`; OpenMx `%&%` is `t(A) %*% B %*% A`; 2017-era source adds ridging; default ridge is 0; `dimnames` are `latentNames`). Unstandardised `asymDIFFUSION` is not `asymDIFFUSIONstd`. `TIPREDVARstd` is not `asymDIFFUSIONstd` even when both equal 1. `DIFFUSIONstd` `−2 a` is not `asymDIFFUSIONstd`. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. -- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Later-start lagged covariance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T10:27Z). First-occasion lagged omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Later-occasion variance does not lag. Stationary lagged uses `−q / (2 a)`. Decaying the later total is not that map. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²` of it plus `ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. First-occasion lagged observed omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Later-start later-occasion variance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 3–4 Chapman–Kolmogorov `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:05Z). Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s`. Later-start lagged covariance omits `Q_s`. Stationary later uses `−q / (2 a)`. Evolving the later total as if it were all state is not that map. Ignoring `startoffset` omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance is `λ²` of it plus `θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that observed variance. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; footnote 4; §7.1; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:40Z). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `discreteDIFFUSIONstd` is `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:06Z). Unstandardised `Q_Δt` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. The continuous standardisation `−2 a` is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `Q_Δt / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DIFFUSIONstd` is `q / (−q / (2 a)) = −2 a` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:20Z). Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` depends on `Δt` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DRIFTstd` is the continuous auto-effect after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 1; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:28Z). Unstandardised `a` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DRIFTstd`. The discrete standardisation `e^{a Δt}` depends on the event interval and is not `DRIFTstd`. `a p / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` is `(-B / a) · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T14:25Z). Unstandardised `-B / a` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `(-B / a) · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T16:21Z). Unstandardised `B` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The asymptotic standardisation `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `B · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 / Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_b · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` `p_0` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; footnote 4; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T17:20Z). The affected variance is free first-occasion `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`. Unstandardised `t0_b` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` is the continuous coefficient and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `t0_b · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `t0_b² v` after a first-occasion time-independent predictor (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; §7.2; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T18:20Z). Form `t0_b` first, then square, then multiply by `v`. A zero coefficient or zero predictor variance is exactly zero. Free `T0TIPREDEFFECT` does not require `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is `addedTIPREDVAR` and is not this first-occasion map. `t0_b · √v / √p_0` is `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` and is not this variance. Free `T0VAR` is not this extra TI variance. `TRAITVAR` is not this extra TI variance. Equation 5 of 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `λ² t0_b² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 3, p. 13; Table 2, p. 12; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T19:10Z). Form `t0_b² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. `t0_b² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² p_0 + θ` is first-occasion observed variance, not this extra. `λ² (B / a)² v` is Eq. 5 of `addedTIPREDVAR`, not this first-occasion observed extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Equation 5 of §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` is `λ² (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12; §7.2, pp. 20–21; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T19:23Z). Form `(B / a)² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. Lasting asymptotic extra requires `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² t0_b² v` is first-occasion extra observed TI variance, not this extra. `λ² p + θ` is stationary observed variance, not this extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Page 16 `TDPREDEFFECTstd` is `m · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` and strictly positive time-dependent predictor variance. Unstandardised `M` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd` even when `M = B`. intercept-style `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] M · √v / √p` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `m · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. Table 3 / p. 16 `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_m · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` and strictly positive TD predictor variance. Unstandardised `t0_m` is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `TDPREDEFFECTstd` uses `asymDIFFUSION` and is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd` even when `t0_m = t0_b`. `t0_m · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. Free `T0VAR` does not require `a < 0`. Page 16 `T0VARstd` is `p_0 / p_0 = 1` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` (`solve(sqrt(diag(T0VAR))) %&% T0VAR`; OpenMx `%&%` is `t(A) %*% B %*% A`; the default ridge is 0). Unstandardised `T0VAR` is not `T0VARstd`. `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd` is not `T0VARstd`. `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is not `T0VARstd`. Page 16 `TRAITVARstd` is `trait / trait = 1` after strictly positive `TRAITVAR` (`solve(sqrt(diag(TRAITVAR))) %&% TRAITVAR`; OpenMx `%&%` is `t(A) %*% B %*% A`; no ridge addend). Unstandardised `TRAITVAR` is not `TRAITVARstd`. `T0VARstd` is not `TRAITVARstd` even when both equal 1. `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is not `TRAITVARstd`. Page 16 `MANIFESTTRAITVARstd` is `ψ / ψ = 1` after strictly positive `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` (`solve(sqrt(diag(MANIFESTTRAITVAR))) %&% MANIFESTTRAITVAR`; OpenMx `%&%` is `t(A) %*% B %*% A`; 2017-era source adds ridging; default ridge is 0). Unstandardised `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is not `MANIFESTTRAITVARstd`. `TRAITVARstd` is not `MANIFESTTRAITVARstd` even when both equal 1. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `MANIFESTTRAITVARstd`. Page 16 `MANIFESTVARstd` is `θ / θ = 1` after strictly positive `MANIFESTVAR` (`solve(sqrt(diag(MANIFESTVAR))) %&% MANIFESTVAR`; OpenMx `%&%` is `t(A) %*% B %*% A`; 2017-era source adds ridging; default ridge is 0; 2017-era `dimnames` assignment to `latentNames` is a source bug). Unstandardised `MANIFESTVAR` is not `MANIFESTVARstd`. `MANIFESTTRAITVARstd` is not `MANIFESTVARstd` even when both equal 1. Equation 5 `Var(y)` is not `MANIFESTVARstd`. Page 16 `TIPREDVARstd` is `v / v = 1` after strictly positive `TIPREDVAR` (`solve(sqrt(diag(TIPREDVAR))) %&% TIPREDVAR`; OpenMx `%&%` is `t(A) %*% B %*% A`; 2017-era source adds ridging; default ridge is 0; `dimnames` are `TIpredNames`). Unstandardised `TIPREDVAR` is not `TIPREDVARstd`. `MANIFESTVARstd` is not `TIPREDVARstd` even when both equal 1. Section 7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` is not `TIPREDVARstd`. Page 16 `asymDIFFUSIONstd` is `p / p = 1` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` (`solve(sqrt(diag(asymDIFFUSION))) %&% asymDIFFUSION`; OpenMx `%&%` is `t(A) %*% B %*% A`; 2017-era source adds ridging; default ridge is 0; `dimnames` are `latentNames`). Unstandardised `asymDIFFUSION` is not `asymDIFFUSIONstd`. `TIPREDVARstd` is not `asymDIFFUSIONstd` even when both equal 1. `DIFFUSIONstd` `−2 a` is not `asymDIFFUSIONstd`. Page 16 `discreteCINTstd` is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ / √p` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION`. Unstandardised `discreteCINT` is not `discreteCINTstd`. `κ / √p` is not `discreteCINTstd`. `(-κ / a) / √p` is not `discreteCINTstd`. Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. -- Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Later-start lagged covariance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T10:27Z). First-occasion lagged omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Later-occasion variance does not lag. Stationary lagged uses `−q / (2 a)`. Decaying the later total is not that map. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²` of it plus `ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. First-occasion lagged observed omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Later-start later-occasion variance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 3–4 Chapman–Kolmogorov `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:05Z). Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s`. Later-start lagged covariance omits `Q_s`. Stationary later uses `−q / (2 a)`. Evolving the later total as if it were all state is not that map. Ignoring `startoffset` omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance is `λ²` of it plus `θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that observed variance. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; footnote 4; §7.1; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:40Z). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `discreteDIFFUSIONstd` is `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:06Z). Unstandardised `Q_Δt` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. The continuous standardisation `−2 a` is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `Q_Δt / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DIFFUSIONstd` is `q / (−q / (2 a)) = −2 a` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:20Z). Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` depends on `Δt` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DRIFTstd` is the continuous auto-effect after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 1; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:28Z). Unstandardised `a` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DRIFTstd`. The discrete standardisation `e^{a Δt}` depends on the event interval and is not `DRIFTstd`. `a p / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` is `(-B / a) · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T14:25Z). Unstandardised `-B / a` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `(-B / a) · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T16:21Z). Unstandardised `B` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The asymptotic standardisation `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `B · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 / Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_b · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` `p_0` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; footnote 4; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T17:20Z). The affected variance is free first-occasion `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`. Unstandardised `t0_b` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` is the continuous coefficient and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `t0_b · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `t0_b² v` after a first-occasion time-independent predictor (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; §7.2; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T18:20Z). Form `t0_b` first, then square, then multiply by `v`. A zero coefficient or zero predictor variance is exactly zero. Free `T0TIPREDEFFECT` does not require `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is `addedTIPREDVAR` and is not this first-occasion map. `t0_b · √v / √p_0` is `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` and is not this variance. Free `T0VAR` is not this extra TI variance. `TRAITVAR` is not this extra TI variance. Equation 5 of 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `λ² t0_b² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 3, p. 13; Table 2, p. 12; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T19:10Z). Form `t0_b² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. `t0_b² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² p_0 + θ` is first-occasion observed variance, not this extra. `λ² (B / a)² v` is Eq. 5 of `addedTIPREDVAR`, not this first-occasion observed extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra.

Evolving from that stationary start with `CINT` and `TIPREDEFFECT` stays at the stationary mean. Equation 1 is the latent SDE, not the measurement model. Form `(λ p) λ` then add `θ`, then add `ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is `Θ`, not `Var(y)`. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`. `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`. `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`. - Do not use the difference quotient as a continuous-time rate. The scalar map is `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time. Discrete lags from unequal event intervals are not one coefficient; remap them through that log-rate. Binary64 `exp(a Δt) = 0` is not a discrete lag. A constant predictor's discrete effect is Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 12), evaluated as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows. When `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z`, rewrite in log space; a zero continuous effect is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed. The first-order product is the underflow limit of that equation, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. A time-varying predictor whose sampling interval equals its constancy interval uses Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14): `b* = a_yx Δt`. Unmatched intervals fail closed (Oud & Jansen, 2000, unread). Discrete process noise is Driver et al. (2017, Eq. 3): `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fails closed; this is not a Kalman filter. `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})`, not `Var(η_t)`. The lagged covariance is `exp(a Δt) p` and the unconditional variance is `exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS has no numbered §2.2). A zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` is not a finite `Var(η_t)`. The stationary within-subject variance is the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4: `-q / (2 a)` for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3). When `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`). When `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`. Do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)` underflows). `a ≥ 0` has no finite stationary variance. Finite-interval `Q_Δt` is not that limit. Trait-plus-state variance is `trait + state` and lagged covariance is `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9). Trait variance is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`. Evolving the summed variance as if it were all state is not that map. This is not RI-CLPM. Observed-indicator variance is `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12). Lagged observed covariance is `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ`; `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. Observed-indicator mean is `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5; Table 2, p. 12). `MANIFESTMEANS` is `τ`, not `E(y)`. `E(η)` is not `E(y)`. `CINT` is not `MANIFESTMEANS`. `T0MEANS` is not `E(y)`. The discrete latent mean is `μ_t = exp(a Δt) μ_0 + (exp(a Δt) − 1)/a κ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3, p. 4; Table 2, p. 12). `T0MEANS` is not `μ_t`. `CINT` is not that discrete increment. A zero drift is `κ Δt`. Underflow of `exp(a Δt)` to `+0` drops the carried `T0MEANS` and keeps `−κ / a`. The evolved observed mean is `τ + λ μ_t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that Eq. 3 map). The first-occasion map `τ + λ μ_0` is not `E(y_t)`. `μ_t` is not `E(y_t)`. The contemporaneous time-dependent predictor impulse is `m x` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 fourth summand; Table 2 `TDPREDEFFECT` is `M`). Form `μ_t` first, then add `m x`. `TDPREDEFFECT` is not `CINT`. `M x` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` and is not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The §7.2 level-change form is not that impulse. The observed mean of that contemporaneous impulse is `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 fourth-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The time-independent predictor increment is `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3 second summand; Table 2 `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`). Form `B z` first, then the discrete intercept map. A zero drift is `B z Δt`. `TIPREDEFFECT` is `B`, not that discrete increment. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z` is not `CINT`, not `M x`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The observed mean of that increment is `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 3 printed addend after the `T0MEANS` carry and the `CINT` increment). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The within-interval time-dependent impulse carry is `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 1–2 Green-function integral of Eq. 2; §7.2 dissipation). Form `m x` first, then `e^{a(t−u)} m x`. A zero drift is `m x` with no dissipation. Underflow of `e^{a(t−u)}` to `+0` is vanishing dissipation and is kept. `e^{A(t−u)} M x` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). An impulse at `u = t` is the contemporaneous map. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` is already in `η(t0)`. The observed mean of that carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Eq. 1–2 carried latent mean). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t`. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_t)`. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-independent predictor shift is `t0_b z` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand). Form `t0_b z` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_b z`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_b z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_b z` is not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z`. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. The observed mean of that first-occasion carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand composition). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The first-occasion time-dependent predictor shift is `t0_m x0` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3 `T0TDPREDEFFECT`; Eq. 3 first summand; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:10Z). Form `t0_m x0` first, then `e^{a Δt} t0_m x0`. Form `μ_t` first, then add that carry. A zero drift is `t0_m x0`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` is a vanishing carry of the first-occasion shift and is kept. `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `CINT`. `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The observed mean of that first-occasion TD carry is `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of the Table 3 / Eq. 3 first-summand TD composition; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:07Z). The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The process-increment map `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that observed mean. The evolved-plus-carry latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The lasting level-change `CINT` is `κ = −a m x` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:45Z). Form `m x` first, then multiply by `−a`. Stable `a < 0` is required so `−κ / a = m x` is an equilibrium offset. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a new process mean. `−a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not this `CINT` setting. Equation 3 maps that intercept as `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T19:50Z). Form the level-change `CINT` first, then the discrete intercept map. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps `m x`. `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. The printed §7.2 lasting level change is an extra near-zero-drift latent process (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 22–23; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-20T23:10Z). `T0MEANS`, `CINT`, `T0VAR`, `DIFFUSION`, and `TRAITVAR` of that process are fixed to 0; `TDPREDEFFECT` on it is fixed to 1; its `DRIFT` diagonal is very close to 0 (printed example `−0.000001`; precisely 0 causes computational problems); the original process is driven by the `DRIFT` coupling `a_{ηξ}`. After a unit identification impulse the scalar contribution is `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` (`ε = a` is `a_{ηξ} x Δt e^{a Δt}`). Form `a_{ηξ} x` first. A zero coupling or zero predictor is exactly zero. `ε ≥ 0` fails closed. That contribution is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. The observed mean of that extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:12Z). The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. Original indicators load on the original process after the `DRIFT` coupling. The evolved map `τ + λ μ_t` is not that observed mean. The contemporaneous map `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that observed mean. The contribution is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-contribution latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process begins at `t = 0` and uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The observed mean of that after-t0 extra-process contribution is `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε(t−u)} − e^{a(t−u)}) / (ε − a))` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5 of that §7.2 after-t0 contribution; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T06:32Z). The first-occasion extra-process observed mean is not that observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry map `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. An impulse at `u = t0` or `u = t` is not interior. The asymptotic time-independent predictor effect is `-B z / a` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T13:08Z). Form `B z` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `a ≥ 0` cannot hold a finite process-mean change. `-B z / a` is not the coefficient `B`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. The asymptotic time-independent predictor variance is `(B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §7.2, pp. 20–21 `addedTIPREDVAR`). Form the unit asymptotic effect first, then square, then multiply by `v`. `(B / a)² v` is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. The asymptotic continuous intercept is `-κ / a` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 2, p. 12 `asymCINT`; Eq. 3 as `Δt → ∞`; JSS PDF opened 2026-08-21T16:13Z). Form `κ` first, then divide by `-a`. Stable `a < 0` is required. `-κ / a` is not `κ`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. The p. 16 stationary `T0MEANS` constraint is `-κ / a + −B z / a`. Form the intercept contribution first, then include the TI extra effect, then add. That constrained first-occasion mean is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean is `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, pp. 9–10; Eq. 5, p. 5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-21T20:07Z). Form the stationary latent mean first, then `τ + λ` of that mean. `τ + λ μ_0` for free `T0MEANS` is not that composition. `τ + λ(−κ / a)` is not that composition when `B z ≠ 0`. `τ + λ μ_t` is not that composition. `MANIFESTMEANS` is not `E(y_0)`. The constrained latent mean is not `E(y_0)`. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Eq. 5 of that constrained variance is `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T03:20Z; form the stationary latent variance first, then `λ² p + θ + ψ`; `λ² p_0` is not that observed variance; `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` is not that observed variance when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero; `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_0)`; the constrained latent variance is not `Var(y_0)`). The lagged covariance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T19:13Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Contemporaneous `T0VAR` is not that lagged map. Decaying the constrained total as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `Θ` does not enter. Contemporaneous `Var(y_0)` is not that lagged observed covariance. The lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process is `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 / p. 16 `T0VAR`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-22T23:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Under stationarity that composition equals contemporaneous `T0VAR`. Evolving the constrained total as if it were all state is not that later map. The lagged covariance omits `Q_Δt` and is not that later map. `Q_Δt` is not that later map. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. The lagged observed covariance omits `Q_Δt` and `θ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T05:12Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that later map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. Stationary later variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that later map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that later map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not `Var(y_t)`. The predetermined later-occasion latent variance is not `Var(y_t)`. Stationary later observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4 of §4.3 predetermined first occasion; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). Trait and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Free `T0VAR` `p_0` is not that lagged map. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. Stationary lagged covariance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that lagged map when `p_0` is free. Evolving `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` as if it were all state is not that lagged map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. As `Δt → 0+` the composition approaches `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance is `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` does not enter. The predetermined lagged latent covariance is not that observed covariance. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and `θ` and is not that lagged observed covariance. Stationary lagged observed covariance is not that observed covariance when `p_0` is free. The predetermined first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`. Free `p_0` is not that map. Stationary first-occasion variance uses `−q / (2 a)` in place of `p_0` and is not that map when `p_0` is free. Lagged covariance decays the state and is not that map. Later-occasion variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that map. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance is `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that first-occasion observed variance. The predetermined first-occasion latent variance is not that observed variance. Stationary first-occasion observed variance is not that observed variance when `p_0` is free. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_Δt` and is not that first-occasion observed variance. Later-start lagged covariance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T10:27Z). First-occasion lagged omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Later-occasion variance does not lag. Stationary lagged uses `−q / (2 a)`. Decaying the later total is not that map. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance is `λ²` of it plus `ψ`. Independent `ε_t` does not enter. First-occasion lagged observed omits `e^{a s} Q_u`. Predetermined later observed variance includes `Q_u` and `θ` and is not that later-start lagged observed covariance. Later-start later-occasion variance of predetermined `T0VAR` is `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3 `startoffset`; Eq. 3–4 Chapman–Kolmogorov `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:05Z). Later-occasion variance at `u` omits `Q_s`. Later-start lagged covariance omits `Q_s`. Stationary later uses `−q / (2 a)`. Evolving the later total as if it were all state is not that map. Ignoring `startoffset` omits `e^{2 a s} Q_u`. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance is `λ²` of it plus `θ + ψ`. `MANIFESTVAR` is not that observed variance. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; footnote 4; §7.1; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T11:40Z). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `discreteDIFFUSIONstd` is `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:06Z). Unstandardised `Q_Δt` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. The continuous standardisation `−2 a` is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `Q_Δt / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DIFFUSIONstd` is `q / (−q / (2 a)) = −2 a` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 4; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:20Z). Unstandardised `q` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. The discrete standardisation `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` depends on `Δt` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `q / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `DRIFTstd` is the continuous auto-effect after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; Eq. 1; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T13:28Z). Unstandardised `a` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `DRIFTstd`. The discrete standardisation `e^{a Δt}` depends on the event interval and is not `DRIFTstd`. `a p / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `DRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` is `(-B / a) · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T14:25Z). Unstandardised `-B / a` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `(-B / a) · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, p. 16; §7.2; footnote 4; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T16:21Z). Unstandardised `B` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The asymptotic standardisation `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `B · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 / Table 3 `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_b · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` `p_0` and strictly positive predictor variance `v` (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; footnote 4; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T17:20Z). The affected variance is free first-occasion `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`. Unstandardised `t0_b` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` `B · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` is the continuous coefficient and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd` `(-B / a) · √v / √p` is the total change and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `t0_b · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `t0_b² v` after a first-occasion time-independent predictor (Driver et al., 2017, Table 3, p. 13; p. 16; §7.2; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T18:20Z). Form `t0_b` first, then square, then multiply by `v`. A zero coefficient or zero predictor variance is exactly zero. Free `T0TIPREDEFFECT` does not require `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is `addedTIPREDVAR` and is not this first-occasion map. `t0_b · √v / √p_0` is `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` and is not this variance. Free `T0VAR` is not this extra TI variance. `TRAITVAR` is not this extra TI variance. Equation 5 of 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `λ² t0_b² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 3, p. 13; Table 2, p. 12; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T19:10Z). Form `t0_b² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. `t0_b² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² p_0 + θ` is first-occasion observed variance, not this extra. `λ² (B / a)² v` is Eq. 5 of `addedTIPREDVAR`, not this first-occasion observed extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Equation 5 of §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` is `λ² (B / a)² v` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5; Table 2, p. 12; §7.2, pp. 20–21; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T19:23Z). Form `(B / a)² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. Lasting asymptotic extra requires `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² t0_b² v` is first-occasion extra observed TI variance, not this extra. `λ² p + θ` is stationary observed variance, not this extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Page 16 `TDPREDEFFECTstd` is `m · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` and strictly positive time-dependent predictor variance. Unstandardised `M` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd` even when `M = B`. intercept-style `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] M · √v / √p` is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `m · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. Table 3 / p. 16 `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd` is `t0_m · √v / √p_0` after strictly positive free `T0VAR` and strictly positive TD predictor variance. Unstandardised `t0_m` is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `TDPREDEFFECTstd` uses `asymDIFFUSION` and is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd` even when `t0_m = t0_b`. `t0_m · √v / √(trait + p_0 + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`.

CWC plus an event-time lag is not DSEM. Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series does not isolate the lagged within-person effect (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608); already-centered residuals with irregular event intervals use the exact scalar map. - Do not treat the CWC cluster-mean coefficient as the between-cluster effect.

The first-order product `a_yx Δt` is Eq. 14 and the underflow limit of Eq. 12, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. Already-centered residuals may have irregular event intervals. Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series is not the lagged within-person residual (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608). Metric/weak invariance licenses shared metric meaning only. Latent-mean comparison requires strong (equal loading and intercept) or strict invariance (Putnick & Bornstein, 2016, PMC5145197 opened 2026-08-19T22:15Z: scalar is required for latent means; residual invariance is not). Two-observation series have no residual degrees of freedom and cap at strong/scalar; identically-zero OLS residual variance is not strict. This two-group OLS gate is not MGCFA. -The executable multilevel slice is cluster-mean centering (CWC) plus within/between OLS, the CWC contextual effect (`between − within`), and Kish-weighted slopes. Enders and Tofighi (2007, Table 2, pp. 124–127) show that the CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the contextual effect, not the between-cluster effect. It is not DSEM and not RI-CLPM. The executable temporal slice maps a discrete lag through the exact scalar exponential `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time only (Voelkle, Oud, Davidov, & Schmidt, 2012, Eq. 7; Driver, Oud, & Voelkle, 2017, Eq. 3), recovers the forward map `φ(Δt) = exp(a Δt)`, remaps a discrete lag onto another event interval through that log-rate, recovers the exact scalar discrete effect of a constant predictor (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 12) as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows, and in log space when `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z` (`a_yx = 0` is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed), recovers the first-order discrete effect of a time-varying predictor with matched sampling and constancy intervals as `a_yx Δt` (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 14; ZORA accepted manuscript p. 21; not Eq. 12; unmatched intervals fail closed because Oud & Jansen, 2000, is unread), recovers the exact scalar discrete process noise `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3;

The first-order product `a_yx Δt` is Eq. 14 and the underflow limit of Eq. 12, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. Already-centered residuals may have irregular event intervals. Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series is not the lagged within-person residual (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608). Metric/weak invariance licenses shared metric meaning only. Latent-mean comparison requires strong (equal loading and intercept) or strict invariance (Putnick & Bornstein, 2016, PMC5145197 opened 2026-08-19T22:15Z: scalar is required for latent means; residual invariance is not). Two-observation series have no residual degrees of freedom and cap at strong/scalar; identically-zero OLS residual variance is not strict. This two-group OLS gate is not MGCFA. -The executable multilevel slice is cluster-mean centering (CWC) plus within/between OLS, the CWC contextual effect (`between − within`), and Kish-weighted slopes. Enders and Tofighi (2007, Table 2, pp. 124–127) show that the CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the contextual effect, not the between-cluster effect. It is not DSEM and not RI-CLPM. The executable temporal slice maps a discrete lag through the exact scalar exponential `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time only (Voelkle, Oud, Davidov, & Schmidt, 2012, Eq. 7; Driver, Oud, & Voelkle, 2017, Eq. 3), recovers the forward map `φ(Δt) = exp(a Δt)`, remaps a discrete lag onto another event interval through that log-rate, recovers the exact scalar discrete effect of a constant predictor (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 12) as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows, and in log space when `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z` (`a_yx = 0` is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed), recovers the first-order discrete effect of a time-varying predictor with matched sampling and constancy intervals as `a_yx Δt` (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 14; ZORA accepted manuscript p. 21; not Eq. 12; unmatched intervals fail closed because Oud & Jansen, 2000, is unread), recovers the exact scalar discrete process noise `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3;

§4.3 T0VAR stationarity; when `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`; CodeRabbit on `75ecdd3`); when `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`; do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)`, `a = -from_bits(1)` → `0.5`); `a ≥ 0` and finite-interval `Q_Δt` fail closed as that limit), recovers the exact scalar trait-plus-state variance `trait + state` and lagged covariance `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9;

The first-order product `a_yx Δt` is Eq. 14 and the underflow limit of Eq. 12, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. Already-centered residuals may have irregular event intervals. Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series is not the lagged within-person residual (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608). Metric/weak invariance licenses shared metric meaning only. Latent-mean comparison requires strong (equal loading and intercept) or strict invariance (Putnick & Bornstein, 2016, PMC5145197 opened 2026-08-19T22:15Z: scalar is required for latent means; residual invariance is not). Two-observation series have no residual degrees of freedom and cap at strong/scalar; identically-zero OLS residual variance is not strict. This two-group OLS gate is not MGCFA. -The executable multilevel slice is cluster-mean centering (CWC) plus within/between OLS, the CWC contextual effect (`between − within`), and Kish-weighted slopes. Enders and Tofighi (2007, Table 2, pp. 124–127) show that the CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the contextual effect, not the between-cluster effect. It is not DSEM and not RI-CLPM. The executable temporal slice maps a discrete lag through the exact scalar exponential `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time only (Voelkle, Oud, Davidov, & Schmidt, 2012, Eq. 7; Driver, Oud, & Voelkle, 2017, Eq. 3), recovers the forward map `φ(Δt) = exp(a Δt)`, remaps a discrete lag onto another event interval through that log-rate, recovers the exact scalar discrete effect of a constant predictor (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 12) as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows, and in log space when `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z` (`a_yx = 0` is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed), recovers the first-order discrete effect of a time-varying predictor with matched sampling and constancy intervals as `a_yx Δt` (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 14; ZORA accepted manuscript p. 21; not Eq. 12; unmatched intervals fail closed because Oud & Jansen, 2000, is unread), recovers the exact scalar discrete process noise `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3;

§4.3 T0VAR stationarity; when `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`; CodeRabbit on `75ecdd3`); when `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`;

JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-18T21:07Z; a stable trait has `DRIFT` and `DIFFUSION` fixed to zero; `TRAITVAR` is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`; evolving the summed variance as if it were all state fails the claim boundary;

The first-order product `a_yx Δt` is Eq. 14 and the underflow limit of Eq. 12, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. Already-centered residuals may have irregular event intervals. Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series is not the lagged within-person residual (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608). Metric/weak invariance licenses shared metric meaning only. Latent-mean comparison requires strong (equal loading and intercept) or strict invariance (Putnick & Bornstein, 2016, PMC5145197 opened 2026-08-19T22:15Z: scalar is required for latent means; residual invariance is not). Two-observation series have no residual degrees of freedom and cap at strong/scalar; identically-zero OLS residual variance is not strict. This two-group OLS gate is not MGCFA. -The executable multilevel slice is cluster-mean centering (CWC) plus within/between OLS, the CWC contextual effect (`between − within`), and Kish-weighted slopes. Enders and Tofighi (2007, Table 2, pp. 124–127) show that the CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the contextual effect, not the between-cluster effect. It is not DSEM and not RI-CLPM. The executable temporal slice maps a discrete lag through the exact scalar exponential `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time only (Voelkle, Oud, Davidov, & Schmidt, 2012, Eq. 7; Driver, Oud, & Voelkle, 2017, Eq. 3), recovers the forward map `φ(Δt) = exp(a Δt)`, remaps a discrete lag onto another event interval through that log-rate, recovers the exact scalar discrete effect of a constant predictor (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 12) as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows, and in log space when `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z` (`a_yx = 0` is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed), recovers the first-order discrete effect of a time-varying predictor with matched sampling and constancy intervals as `a_yx Δt` (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 14; ZORA accepted manuscript p. 21; not Eq. 12; unmatched intervals fail closed because Oud & Jansen, 2000, is unread), recovers the exact scalar discrete process noise `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3;

§4.3 T0VAR stationarity; when `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`; CodeRabbit on `75ecdd3`); when `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`; do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)`, `a = -from_bits(1)` → `0.5`); `a ≥ 0` and finite-interval `Q_Δt` fail closed as that limit), recovers the exact scalar trait-plus-state variance `trait + state` and lagged covariance `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9;

The first-order product `a_yx Δt` is Eq. 14 and the underflow limit of Eq. 12, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. Already-centered residuals may have irregular event intervals. Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series is not the lagged within-person residual (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608). Metric/weak invariance licenses shared metric meaning only. Latent-mean comparison requires strong (equal loading and intercept) or strict invariance (Putnick & Bornstein, 2016, PMC5145197 opened 2026-08-19T22:15Z: scalar is required for latent means; residual invariance is not). Two-observation series have no residual degrees of freedom and cap at strong/scalar; identically-zero OLS residual variance is not strict. This two-group OLS gate is not MGCFA. -The executable multilevel slice is cluster-mean centering (CWC) plus within/between OLS, the CWC contextual effect (`between − within`), and Kish-weighted slopes. Enders and Tofighi (2007, Table 2, pp. 124–127) show that the CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the contextual effect, not the between-cluster effect. It is not DSEM and not RI-CLPM. The executable temporal slice maps a discrete lag through the exact scalar exponential `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time only (Voelkle, Oud, Davidov, & Schmidt, 2012, Eq. 7; Driver, Oud, & Voelkle, 2017, Eq. 3), recovers the forward map `φ(Δt) = exp(a Δt)`, remaps a discrete lag onto another event interval through that log-rate, recovers the exact scalar discrete effect of a constant predictor (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 12) as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows, and in log space when `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z` (`a_yx = 0` is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed), recovers the first-order discrete effect of a time-varying predictor with matched sampling and constancy intervals as `a_yx Δt` (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 14; ZORA accepted manuscript p. 21; not Eq. 12; unmatched intervals fail closed because Oud & Jansen, 2000, is unread), recovers the exact scalar discrete process noise `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3;

The first-order product `a_yx Δt` is Eq. 14 and the underflow limit of Eq. 12, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. Already-centered residuals may have irregular event intervals. Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series is not the lagged within-person residual (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608). Metric/weak invariance licenses shared metric meaning only. Latent-mean comparison requires strong (equal loading and intercept) or strict invariance (Putnick & Bornstein, 2016, PMC5145197 opened 2026-08-19T22:15Z: scalar is required for latent means; residual invariance is not). Two-observation series have no residual degrees of freedom and cap at strong/scalar; identically-zero OLS residual variance is not strict. This two-group OLS gate is not MGCFA. -The executable multilevel slice is cluster-mean centering (CWC) plus within/between OLS, the CWC contextual effect (`between − within`), and Kish-weighted slopes. Enders and Tofighi (2007, Table 2, pp. 124–127) show that the CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the contextual effect, not the between-cluster effect. It is not DSEM and not RI-CLPM. The executable temporal slice maps a discrete lag through the exact scalar exponential `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time only (Voelkle, Oud, Davidov, & Schmidt, 2012, Eq. 7; Driver, Oud, & Voelkle, 2017, Eq. 3), recovers the forward map `φ(Δt) = exp(a Δt)`, remaps a discrete lag onto another event interval through that log-rate, recovers the exact scalar discrete effect of a constant predictor (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 12) as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows, and in log space when `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z` (`a_yx = 0` is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed), recovers the first-order discrete effect of a time-varying predictor with matched sampling and constancy intervals as `a_yx Δt` (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 14; ZORA accepted manuscript p. 21; not Eq. 12; unmatched intervals fail closed because Oud & Jansen, 2000, is unread), recovers the exact scalar discrete process noise `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3;

The first-order product `a_yx Δt` is Eq. 14 and the underflow limit of Eq. 12, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. Already-centered residuals may have irregular event intervals. Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series is not the lagged within-person residual (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608). Metric/weak invariance licenses shared metric meaning only. Latent-mean comparison requires strong (equal loading and intercept) or strict invariance (Putnick & Bornstein, 2016, PMC5145197 opened 2026-08-19T22:15Z: scalar is required for latent means; residual invariance is not). Two-observation series have no residual degrees of freedom and cap at strong/scalar; identically-zero OLS residual variance is not strict. This two-group OLS gate is not MGCFA. -The executable multilevel slice is cluster-mean centering (CWC) plus within/between OLS, the CWC contextual effect (`between − within`), and Kish-weighted slopes. Enders and Tofighi (2007, Table 2, pp. 124–127) show that the CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the contextual effect, not the between-cluster effect. It is not DSEM and not RI-CLPM. The executable temporal slice maps a discrete lag through the exact scalar exponential `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time only (Voelkle, Oud, Davidov, & Schmidt, 2012, Eq. 7; Driver, Oud, & Voelkle, 2017, Eq. 3), recovers the forward map `φ(Δt) = exp(a Δt)`, remaps a discrete lag onto another event interval through that log-rate, recovers the exact scalar discrete effect of a constant predictor (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 12) as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows, and in log space when `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z` (`a_yx = 0` is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed), recovers the first-order discrete effect of a time-varying predictor with matched sampling and constancy intervals as `a_yx Δt` (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 14; ZORA accepted manuscript p. 21; not Eq. 12; unmatched intervals fail closed because Oud & Jansen, 2000, is unread), recovers the exact scalar discrete process noise `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3;

Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series is not the lagged within-person residual (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608). Metric/weak invariance licenses shared metric meaning only. Latent-mean comparison requires strong (equal loading and intercept) or strict invariance (Putnick & Bornstein, 2016, PMC5145197 opened 2026-08-19T22:15Z: scalar is required for latent means; residual invariance is not). Two-observation series have no residual degrees of freedom and cap at strong/scalar; identically-zero OLS residual variance is not strict.

Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series is not the lagged within-person residual (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608). Metric/weak invariance licenses shared metric meaning only. Latent-mean comparison requires strong (equal loading and intercept) or strict invariance (Putnick & Bornstein, 2016, PMC5145197 opened 2026-08-19T22:15Z: scalar is required for latent means; residual invariance is not). Two-observation series have no residual degrees of freedom and cap at strong/scalar; identically-zero OLS residual variance is not strict. This two-group OLS gate is not MGCFA. -The executable multilevel slice is cluster-mean centering (CWC) plus within/between OLS, the CWC contextual effect (`between − within`), and Kish-weighted slopes. Enders and Tofighi (2007, Table 2, pp. 124–127) show that the CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the contextual effect, not the between-cluster effect. It is not DSEM and not RI-CLPM. The executable temporal slice maps a discrete lag through the exact scalar exponential `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time only (Voelkle, Oud, Davidov, & Schmidt, 2012, Eq. 7; Driver, Oud, & Voelkle, 2017, Eq. 3), recovers the forward map `φ(Δt) = exp(a Δt)`, remaps a discrete lag onto another event interval through that log-rate, recovers the exact scalar discrete effect of a constant predictor (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 12) as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows, and in log space when `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z` (`a_yx = 0` is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed), recovers the first-order discrete effect of a time-varying predictor with matched sampling and constancy intervals as `a_yx Δt` (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 14; ZORA accepted manuscript p. 21; not Eq. 12; unmatched intervals fail closed because Oud & Jansen, 2000, is unread), recovers the exact scalar discrete process noise `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3;

The executable temporal slice maps a discrete lag through the exact scalar exponential `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time only (Voelkle, Oud, Davidov, & Schmidt, 2012, Eq. 7; Driver, Oud, & Voelkle, 2017, Eq. 3), recovers the forward map `φ(Δt) = exp(a Δt)`, remaps a discrete lag onto another event interval through that log-rate, recovers the exact scalar discrete effect of a constant predictor (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 12) as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows, and in log space when `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z` (`a_yx = 0` is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed), recovers the first-order discrete effect of a time-varying predictor with matched sampling and constancy intervals as `a_yx Δt` (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 14; ZORA accepted manuscript p. 21; not Eq. 12; unmatched intervals fail closed because Oud & Jansen, 2000, is unread), recovers the exact scalar discrete process noise `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-18T07:06Z, p. 4; scalar `L = 1`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; `z → −∞` keeps `−0.5 q / a`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; `z → +∞` and an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fail closed), recovers the exact scalar lagged latent covariance `exp(a Δt) p` and the law-of-total-variance map `Var(η_t) = exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-18T18:03Z; JSS has no numbered §2.2; `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})` and is refused as the unconditional variance; a zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` fails closed), recovers the exact scalar stationary within-subject variance `-q / (2 a)` as the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4 for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3 T0VAR stationarity; when `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`; CodeRabbit on `75ecdd3`); when `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`; do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)`, `a = -from_bits(1)` → `0.5`); `a ≥ 0` and finite-interval `Q_Δt` fail closed as that limit), recovers the exact scalar trait-plus-state variance `trait + state` and lagged covariance `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-18T21:07Z; a stable trait has `DRIFT` and `DIFFUSION` fixed to zero; `TRAITVAR` is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`; evolving the summed variance as if it were all state fails the claim boundary;

`TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance))))), and refuses the difference quotient, pooling discrete lags from unequal intervals, and a binary64 underflow of that exponential to `+0` (not a discrete lag). The first-order product `a_yx Δt` is Eq. 14 and the underflow limit of Eq. 12, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. Already-centered residuals may have irregular event intervals. Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series is not the lagged within-person residual (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608). Metric/weak invariance licenses shared metric meaning only. Latent-mean comparison requires strong (equal loading and intercept) or strict invariance (Putnick & Bornstein, 2016, PMC5145197 opened 2026-08-19T22:15Z: scalar is required for latent means; residual invariance is not). Two-observation series have no residual degrees of freedom and cap at strong/scalar; identically-zero OLS residual variance is not strict. This two-group OLS gate is not MGCFA. -The executable multilevel slice is cluster-mean centering (CWC) plus within/between OLS, the CWC contextual effect (`between − within`), and Kish-weighted slopes. Enders and Tofighi (2007, Table 2, pp. 124–127) show that the CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the contextual effect, not the between-cluster effect. It is not DSEM and not RI-CLPM. The executable temporal slice maps a discrete lag through the exact scalar exponential `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time only (Voelkle, Oud, Davidov, & Schmidt, 2012, Eq. 7; Driver, Oud, & Voelkle, 2017, Eq. 3), recovers the forward map `φ(Δt) = exp(a Δt)`, remaps a discrete lag onto another event interval through that log-rate, recovers the exact scalar discrete effect of a constant predictor (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 12) as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows, and in log space when `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z` (`a_yx = 0` is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed), recovers the first-order discrete effect of a time-varying predictor with matched sampling and constancy intervals as `a_yx Δt` (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 14; ZORA accepted manuscript p. 21; not Eq. 12; unmatched intervals fail closed because Oud & Jansen, 2000, is unread), recovers the exact scalar discrete process noise `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-18T07:06Z, p. 4; scalar `L = 1`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; `z → −∞` keeps `−0.5 q / a`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; `z → +∞` and an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fail closed), recovers the exact scalar lagged latent covariance `exp(a Δt) p` and the law-of-total-variance map `Var(η_t) = exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-18T18:03Z; JSS has no numbered §2.2; `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})` and is refused as the unconditional variance; a zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` fails closed), recovers the exact scalar stationary within-subject variance `-q / (2 a)` as the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4 for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3 T0VAR stationarity; when `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`; CodeRabbit on `75ecdd3`); when `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`; do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)`, `a = -from_bits(1)` → `0.5`); `a ≥ 0` and finite-interval `Q_Δt` fail closed as that limit), recovers the exact scalar trait-plus-state variance `trait + state` and lagged covariance `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-18T21:07Z; a stable trait has `DRIFT` and `DIFFUSION` fixed to zero; `TRAITVAR` is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`; evolving the summed variance as if it were all state fails the claim boundary; this is not RI-CLPM), recovers the exact scalar observed-indicator variance `λ² Var(η) + θ` when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is zero and `λ² Var(η) + θ + ψ` otherwise, and the lagged observed covariance `λ² cov(η_t, η_{t-1}) + ψ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5;

`MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is `Ψ_τ`, not `Θ`; `TRAITVAR` is latent and scaled by `λ²`; `Var(η)` is not `Var(y)`), recovers the exact scalar observed-indicator mean `τ + λ μ` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 5, p. 5;

The first-order product `a_yx Δt` is Eq. 14 and the underflow limit of Eq. 12, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. Already-centered residuals may have irregular event intervals. Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series is not the lagged within-person residual (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608). Metric/weak invariance licenses shared metric meaning only. Latent-mean comparison requires strong (equal loading and intercept) or strict invariance (Putnick & Bornstein, 2016, PMC5145197 opened 2026-08-19T22:15Z: scalar is required for latent means; residual invariance is not). Two-observation series have no residual degrees of freedom and cap at strong/scalar; identically-zero OLS residual variance is not strict. This two-group OLS gate is not MGCFA. -The executable multilevel slice is cluster-mean centering (CWC) plus within/between OLS, the CWC contextual effect (`between − within`), and Kish-weighted slopes. Enders and Tofighi (2007, Table 2, pp. 124–127) show that the CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the contextual effect, not the between-cluster effect. It is not DSEM and not RI-CLPM. The executable temporal slice maps a discrete lag through the exact scalar exponential `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time only (Voelkle, Oud, Davidov, & Schmidt, 2012, Eq. 7; Driver, Oud, & Voelkle, 2017, Eq. 3), recovers the forward map `φ(Δt) = exp(a Δt)`, remaps a discrete lag onto another event interval through that log-rate, recovers the exact scalar discrete effect of a constant predictor (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 12) as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows, and in log space when `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z` (`a_yx = 0` is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed), recovers the first-order discrete effect of a time-varying predictor with matched sampling and constancy intervals as `a_yx Δt` (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 14; ZORA accepted manuscript p. 21; not Eq. 12; unmatched intervals fail closed because Oud & Jansen, 2000, is unread), recovers the exact scalar discrete process noise `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-18T07:06Z, p. 4; scalar `L = 1`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; `z → −∞` keeps `−0.5 q / a`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; `z → +∞` and an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fail closed), recovers the exact scalar lagged latent covariance `exp(a Δt) p` and the law-of-total-variance map `Var(η_t) = exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-18T18:03Z; JSS has no numbered §2.2; `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})` and is refused as the unconditional variance; a zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` fails closed), recovers the exact scalar stationary within-subject variance `-q / (2 a)` as the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4 for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3 T0VAR stationarity; when `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`; CodeRabbit on `75ecdd3`); when `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`; do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)`, `a = -from_bits(1)` → `0.5`); `a ≥ 0` and finite-interval `Q_Δt` fail closed as that limit), recovers the exact scalar trait-plus-state variance `trait + state` and lagged covariance `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-18T21:07Z; a stable trait has `DRIFT` and `DIFFUSION` fixed to zero; `TRAITVAR` is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`; evolving the summed variance as if it were all state fails the claim boundary;

The first-order product `a_yx Δt` is Eq. 14 and the underflow limit of Eq. 12, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. Already-centered residuals may have irregular event intervals. Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series is not the lagged within-person residual (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608). Metric/weak invariance licenses shared metric meaning only. Latent-mean comparison requires strong (equal loading and intercept) or strict invariance (Putnick & Bornstein, 2016, PMC5145197 opened 2026-08-19T22:15Z: scalar is required for latent means; residual invariance is not). Two-observation series have no residual degrees of freedom and cap at strong/scalar; identically-zero OLS residual variance is not strict. This two-group OLS gate is not MGCFA. -The executable multilevel slice is cluster-mean centering (CWC) plus within/between OLS, the CWC contextual effect (`between − within`), and Kish-weighted slopes. Enders and Tofighi (2007, Table 2, pp. 124–127) show that the CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the contextual effect, not the between-cluster effect. It is not DSEM and not RI-CLPM. The executable temporal slice maps a discrete lag through the exact scalar exponential `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time only (Voelkle, Oud, Davidov, & Schmidt, 2012, Eq. 7; Driver, Oud, & Voelkle, 2017, Eq. 3), recovers the forward map `φ(Δt) = exp(a Δt)`, remaps a discrete lag onto another event interval through that log-rate, recovers the exact scalar discrete effect of a constant predictor (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 12) as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows, and in log space when `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z` (`a_yx = 0` is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed), recovers the first-order discrete effect of a time-varying predictor with matched sampling and constancy intervals as `a_yx Δt` (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 14; ZORA accepted manuscript p. 21; not Eq. 12; unmatched intervals fail closed because Oud & Jansen, 2000, is unread), recovers the exact scalar discrete process noise `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3;

§4.3 T0VAR stationarity; when `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`; CodeRabbit on `75ecdd3`); when `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`; do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)`, `a = -from_bits(1)` → `0.5`); `a ≥ 0` and finite-interval `Q_Δt` fail closed as that limit), recovers the exact scalar trait-plus-state variance `trait + state` and lagged covariance `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9;

The first-order product `a_yx Δt` is Eq. 14 and the underflow limit of Eq. 12, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. Already-centered residuals may have irregular event intervals. Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series is not the lagged within-person residual (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608). Metric/weak invariance licenses shared metric meaning only. Latent-mean comparison requires strong (equal loading and intercept) or strict invariance (Putnick & Bornstein, 2016, PMC5145197 opened 2026-08-19T22:15Z: scalar is required for latent means; residual invariance is not). Two-observation series have no residual degrees of freedom and cap at strong/scalar; identically-zero OLS residual variance is not strict. This two-group OLS gate is not MGCFA. -The executable multilevel slice is cluster-mean centering (CWC) plus within/between OLS, the CWC contextual effect (`between − within`), and Kish-weighted slopes. Enders and Tofighi (2007, Table 2, pp. 124–127) show that the CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the contextual effect, not the between-cluster effect. It is not DSEM and not RI-CLPM. The executable temporal slice maps a discrete lag through the exact scalar exponential `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time only (Voelkle, Oud, Davidov, & Schmidt, 2012, Eq. 7; Driver, Oud, & Voelkle, 2017, Eq. 3), recovers the forward map `φ(Δt) = exp(a Δt)`, remaps a discrete lag onto another event interval through that log-rate, recovers the exact scalar discrete effect of a constant predictor (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 12) as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows, and in log space when `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z` (`a_yx = 0` is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed), recovers the first-order discrete effect of a time-varying predictor with matched sampling and constancy intervals as `a_yx Δt` (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 14; ZORA accepted manuscript p. 21; not Eq. 12; unmatched intervals fail closed because Oud & Jansen, 2000, is unread), recovers the exact scalar discrete process noise `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3;

The first-order product `a_yx Δt` is Eq. 14 and the underflow limit of Eq. 12, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. Already-centered residuals may have irregular event intervals. Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series is not the lagged within-person residual (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608). Metric/weak invariance licenses shared metric meaning only. Latent-mean comparison requires strong (equal loading and intercept) or strict invariance (Putnick & Bornstein, 2016, PMC5145197 opened 2026-08-19T22:15Z: scalar is required for latent means; residual invariance is not). Two-observation series have no residual degrees of freedom and cap at strong/scalar; identically-zero OLS residual variance is not strict. This two-group OLS gate is not MGCFA. -The executable multilevel slice is cluster-mean centering (CWC) plus within/between OLS, the CWC contextual effect (`between − within`), and Kish-weighted slopes. Enders and Tofighi (2007, Table 2, pp. 124–127) show that the CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the contextual effect, not the between-cluster effect. It is not DSEM and not RI-CLPM. The executable temporal slice maps a discrete lag through the exact scalar exponential `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time only (Voelkle, Oud, Davidov, & Schmidt, 2012, Eq. 7; Driver, Oud, & Voelkle, 2017, Eq. 3), recovers the forward map `φ(Δt) = exp(a Δt)`, remaps a discrete lag onto another event interval through that log-rate, recovers the exact scalar discrete effect of a constant predictor (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 12) as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows, and in log space when `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z` (`a_yx = 0` is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed), recovers the first-order discrete effect of a time-varying predictor with matched sampling and constancy intervals as `a_yx Δt` (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 14; ZORA accepted manuscript p. 21; not Eq. 12; unmatched intervals fail closed because Oud & Jansen, 2000, is unread), recovers the exact scalar discrete process noise `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3;

JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-18T18:03Z; JSS has no numbered §2.2; `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})` and is refused as the unconditional variance; a zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` fails closed), recovers the exact scalar stationary within-subject variance `-q / (2 a)` as the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4 for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3 T0VAR stationarity; when `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`; CodeRabbit on `75ecdd3`); when `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`; do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)`, `a = -from_bits(1)` → `0.5`); `a ≥ 0` and finite-interval `Q_Δt` fail closed as that limit), recovers the exact scalar trait-plus-state variance `trait + state` and lagged covariance `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9;

The first-order product `a_yx Δt` is Eq. 14 and the underflow limit of Eq. 12, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. Already-centered residuals may have irregular event intervals. Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series is not the lagged within-person residual (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608). Metric/weak invariance licenses shared metric meaning only. Latent-mean comparison requires strong (equal loading and intercept) or strict invariance (Putnick & Bornstein, 2016, PMC5145197 opened 2026-08-19T22:15Z: scalar is required for latent means; residual invariance is not). Two-observation series have no residual degrees of freedom and cap at strong/scalar; identically-zero OLS residual variance is not strict. This two-group OLS gate is not MGCFA. -The executable multilevel slice is cluster-mean centering (CWC) plus within/between OLS, the CWC contextual effect (`between − within`), and Kish-weighted slopes. Enders and Tofighi (2007, Table 2, pp. 124–127) show that the CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the contextual effect, not the between-cluster effect. It is not DSEM and not RI-CLPM. The executable temporal slice maps a discrete lag through the exact scalar exponential `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time only (Voelkle, Oud, Davidov, & Schmidt, 2012, Eq. 7; Driver, Oud, & Voelkle, 2017, Eq. 3), recovers the forward map `φ(Δt) = exp(a Δt)`, remaps a discrete lag onto another event interval through that log-rate, recovers the exact scalar discrete effect of a constant predictor (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 12) as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows, and in log space when `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z` (`a_yx = 0` is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed), recovers the first-order discrete effect of a time-varying predictor with matched sampling and constancy intervals as `a_yx Δt` (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 14; ZORA accepted manuscript p. 21; not Eq. 12; unmatched intervals fail closed because Oud & Jansen, 2000, is unread), recovers the exact scalar discrete process noise `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3;

JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-18T18:03Z; JSS has no numbered §2.2; `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})` and is refused as the unconditional variance; a zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` fails closed), recovers the exact scalar stationary within-subject variance `-q / (2 a)` as the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4 for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`;

do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)`, `a = -from_bits(1)` → `0.5`); `a ≥ 0` and finite-interval `Q_Δt` fail closed as that limit), recovers the exact scalar trait-plus-state variance `trait + state` and lagged covariance `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-18T21:07Z; a stable trait has `DRIFT` and `DIFFUSION` fixed to zero; `TRAITVAR` is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`; evolving the summed variance as if it were all state fails the claim boundary;

The first-order product `a_yx Δt` is Eq. 14 and the underflow limit of Eq. 12, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. Already-centered residuals may have irregular event intervals. Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series is not the lagged within-person residual (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608). Metric/weak invariance licenses shared metric meaning only. Latent-mean comparison requires strong (equal loading and intercept) or strict invariance (Putnick & Bornstein, 2016, PMC5145197 opened 2026-08-19T22:15Z: scalar is required for latent means; residual invariance is not). Two-observation series have no residual degrees of freedom and cap at strong/scalar; identically-zero OLS residual variance is not strict. This two-group OLS gate is not MGCFA. -The executable multilevel slice is cluster-mean centering (CWC) plus within/between OLS, the CWC contextual effect (`between − within`), and Kish-weighted slopes. Enders and Tofighi (2007, Table 2, pp. 124–127) show that the CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the contextual effect, not the between-cluster effect. It is not DSEM and not RI-CLPM. The executable temporal slice maps a discrete lag through the exact scalar exponential `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time only (Voelkle, Oud, Davidov, & Schmidt, 2012, Eq. 7; Driver, Oud, & Voelkle, 2017, Eq. 3), recovers the forward map `φ(Δt) = exp(a Δt)`, remaps a discrete lag onto another event interval through that log-rate, recovers the exact scalar discrete effect of a constant predictor (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 12) as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows, and in log space when `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z` (`a_yx = 0` is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed), recovers the first-order discrete effect of a time-varying predictor with matched sampling and constancy intervals as `a_yx Δt` (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 14; ZORA accepted manuscript p. 21; not Eq. 12; unmatched intervals fail closed because Oud & Jansen, 2000, is unread), recovers the exact scalar discrete process noise `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3;

Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series is not the lagged within-person residual (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608). Metric/weak invariance licenses shared metric meaning only. Latent-mean comparison requires strong (equal loading and intercept) or strict invariance (Putnick & Bornstein, 2016, PMC5145197 opened 2026-08-19T22:15Z: scalar is required for latent means; residual invariance is not). Two-observation series have no residual degrees of freedom and cap at strong/scalar; identically-zero OLS residual variance is not strict. This two-group OLS gate is not MGCFA. -The executable multilevel slice is cluster-mean centering (CWC) plus within/between OLS, the CWC contextual effect (`between − within`), and Kish-weighted slopes. Enders and Tofighi (2007, Table 2, pp. 124–127) show that the CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the contextual effect, not the between-cluster effect. It is not DSEM and not RI-CLPM. The executable temporal slice maps a discrete lag through the exact scalar exponential `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time only (Voelkle, Oud, Davidov, & Schmidt, 2012, Eq. 7; Driver, Oud, & Voelkle, 2017, Eq. 3), recovers the forward map `φ(Δt) = exp(a Δt)`, remaps a discrete lag onto another event interval through that log-rate, recovers the exact scalar discrete effect of a constant predictor (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 12) as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows, and in log space when `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z` (`a_yx = 0` is exactly zero;

The first-order product `a_yx Δt` is Eq. 14 and the underflow limit of Eq. 12, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. Already-centered residuals may have irregular event intervals. Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series is not the lagged within-person residual (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608). Metric/weak invariance licenses shared metric meaning only. Latent-mean comparison requires strong (equal loading and intercept) or strict invariance (Putnick & Bornstein, 2016, PMC5145197 opened 2026-08-19T22:15Z: scalar is required for latent means; residual invariance is not). Two-observation series have no residual degrees of freedom and cap at strong/scalar; identically-zero OLS residual variance is not strict. This two-group OLS gate is not MGCFA. -The executable multilevel slice is cluster-mean centering (CWC) plus within/between OLS, the CWC contextual effect (`between − within`), and Kish-weighted slopes. Enders and Tofighi (2007, Table 2, pp. 124–127) show that the CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the contextual effect, not the between-cluster effect. It is not DSEM and not RI-CLPM. The executable temporal slice maps a discrete lag through the exact scalar exponential `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time only (Voelkle, Oud, Davidov, & Schmidt, 2012, Eq. 7; Driver, Oud, & Voelkle, 2017, Eq. 3), recovers the forward map `φ(Δt) = exp(a Δt)`, remaps a discrete lag onto another event interval through that log-rate, recovers the exact scalar discrete effect of a constant predictor (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 12) as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows, and in log space when `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z` (`a_yx = 0` is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed), recovers the first-order discrete effect of a time-varying predictor with matched sampling and constancy intervals as `a_yx Δt` (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 14; ZORA accepted manuscript p. 21; not Eq. 12; unmatched intervals fail closed because Oud & Jansen, 2000, is unread), recovers the exact scalar discrete process noise `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3;

§4.3 T0VAR stationarity; when `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`; CodeRabbit on `75ecdd3`); when `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`; do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)`, `a = -from_bits(1)` → `0.5`); `a ≥ 0` and finite-interval `Q_Δt` fail closed as that limit), recovers the exact scalar trait-plus-state variance `trait + state` and lagged covariance `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9;

The first-order product `a_yx Δt` is Eq. 14 and the underflow limit of Eq. 12, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. Already-centered residuals may have irregular event intervals. Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series is not the lagged within-person residual (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608). Metric/weak invariance licenses shared metric meaning only. Latent-mean comparison requires strong (equal loading and intercept) or strict invariance (Putnick & Bornstein, 2016, PMC5145197 opened 2026-08-19T22:15Z: scalar is required for latent means; residual invariance is not). Two-observation series have no residual degrees of freedom and cap at strong/scalar; identically-zero OLS residual variance is not strict. This two-group OLS gate is not MGCFA. -The executable multilevel slice is cluster-mean centering (CWC) plus within/between OLS, the CWC contextual effect (`between − within`), and Kish-weighted slopes. Enders and Tofighi (2007, Table 2, pp. 124–127) show that the CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the contextual effect, not the between-cluster effect. It is not DSEM and not RI-CLPM. The executable temporal slice maps a discrete lag through the exact scalar exponential `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time only (Voelkle, Oud, Davidov, & Schmidt, 2012, Eq. 7; Driver, Oud, & Voelkle, 2017, Eq. 3), recovers the forward map `φ(Δt) = exp(a Δt)`, remaps a discrete lag onto another event interval through that log-rate, recovers the exact scalar discrete effect of a constant predictor (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 12) as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows, and in log space when `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z` (`a_yx = 0` is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed), recovers the first-order discrete effect of a time-varying predictor with matched sampling and constancy intervals as `a_yx Δt` (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 14; ZORA accepted manuscript p. 21; not Eq. 12; unmatched intervals fail closed because Oud & Jansen, 2000, is unread), recovers the exact scalar discrete process noise `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3;

The first-order product `a_yx Δt` is Eq. 14 and the underflow limit of Eq. 12, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. Already-centered residuals may have irregular event intervals. Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series is not the lagged within-person residual (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608). Metric/weak invariance licenses shared metric meaning only. Latent-mean comparison requires strong (equal loading and intercept) or strict invariance (Putnick & Bornstein, 2016, PMC5145197 opened 2026-08-19T22:15Z: scalar is required for latent means; residual invariance is not). Two-observation series have no residual degrees of freedom and cap at strong/scalar; identically-zero OLS residual variance is not strict. This two-group OLS gate is not MGCFA. -The executable multilevel slice is cluster-mean centering (CWC) plus within/between OLS, the CWC contextual effect (`between − within`), and Kish-weighted slopes. Enders and Tofighi (2007, Table 2, pp. 124–127) show that the CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the contextual effect, not the between-cluster effect. It is not DSEM and not RI-CLPM. The executable temporal slice maps a discrete lag through the exact scalar exponential `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time only (Voelkle, Oud, Davidov, & Schmidt, 2012, Eq. 7; Driver, Oud, & Voelkle, 2017, Eq. 3), recovers the forward map `φ(Δt) = exp(a Δt)`, remaps a discrete lag onto another event interval through that log-rate, recovers the exact scalar discrete effect of a constant predictor (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 12) as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows, and in log space when `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z` (`a_yx = 0` is exactly zero;

The first-order product `a_yx Δt` is Eq. 14 and the underflow limit of Eq. 12, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. Already-centered residuals may have irregular event intervals. Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series is not the lagged within-person residual (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608). Metric/weak invariance licenses shared metric meaning only. Latent-mean comparison requires strong (equal loading and intercept) or strict invariance (Putnick & Bornstein, 2016, PMC5145197 opened 2026-08-19T22:15Z: scalar is required for latent means; residual invariance is not). Two-observation series have no residual degrees of freedom and cap at strong/scalar; identically-zero OLS residual variance is not strict. This two-group OLS gate is not MGCFA. -The executable multilevel slice is cluster-mean centering (CWC) plus within/between OLS, the CWC contextual effect (`between − within`), and Kish-weighted slopes. Enders and Tofighi (2007, Table 2, pp. 124–127) show that the CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the contextual effect, not the between-cluster effect. It is not DSEM and not RI-CLPM. The executable temporal slice maps a discrete lag through the exact scalar exponential `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time only (Voelkle, Oud, Davidov, & Schmidt, 2012, Eq. 7; Driver, Oud, & Voelkle, 2017, Eq. 3), recovers the forward map `φ(Δt) = exp(a Δt)`, remaps a discrete lag onto another event interval through that log-rate, recovers the exact scalar discrete effect of a constant predictor (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 12) as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows, and in log space when `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z` (`a_yx = 0` is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed), recovers the first-order discrete effect of a time-varying predictor with matched sampling and constancy intervals as `a_yx Δt` (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 14; ZORA accepted manuscript p. 21; not Eq. 12; unmatched intervals fail closed because Oud & Jansen, 2000, is unread), recovers the exact scalar discrete process noise `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3;

§4.3 T0VAR stationarity; when `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`; CodeRabbit on `75ecdd3`); when `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`; do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)`, `a = -from_bits(1)` → `0.5`); `a ≥ 0` and finite-interval `Q_Δt` fail closed as that limit), recovers the exact scalar trait-plus-state variance `trait + state` and lagged covariance `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-18T21:07Z; a stable trait has `DRIFT` and `DIFFUSION` fixed to zero; `TRAITVAR` is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`; evolving the summed variance as if it were all state fails the claim boundary;

The first-order product `a_yx Δt` is Eq. 14 and the underflow limit of Eq. 12, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. Already-centered residuals may have irregular event intervals. Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series is not the lagged within-person residual (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608). Metric/weak invariance licenses shared metric meaning only. Latent-mean comparison requires strong (equal loading and intercept) or strict invariance (Putnick & Bornstein, 2016, PMC5145197 opened 2026-08-19T22:15Z: scalar is required for latent means; residual invariance is not). Two-observation series have no residual degrees of freedom and cap at strong/scalar; identically-zero OLS residual variance is not strict. This two-group OLS gate is not MGCFA. -The executable multilevel slice is cluster-mean centering (CWC) plus within/between OLS, the CWC contextual effect (`between − within`), and Kish-weighted slopes. Enders and Tofighi (2007, Table 2, pp. 124–127) show that the CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the contextual effect, not the between-cluster effect. It is not DSEM and not RI-CLPM. The executable temporal slice maps a discrete lag through the exact scalar exponential `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time only (Voelkle, Oud, Davidov, & Schmidt, 2012, Eq. 7; Driver, Oud, & Voelkle, 2017, Eq. 3), recovers the forward map `φ(Δt) = exp(a Δt)`, remaps a discrete lag onto another event interval through that log-rate, recovers the exact scalar discrete effect of a constant predictor (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 12) as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows, and in log space when `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z` (`a_yx = 0` is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed), recovers the first-order discrete effect of a time-varying predictor with matched sampling and constancy intervals as `a_yx Δt` (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 14; ZORA accepted manuscript p. 21; not Eq. 12; unmatched intervals fail closed because Oud & Jansen, 2000, is unread), recovers the exact scalar discrete process noise `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3;

Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series is not the lagged within-person residual (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608). Metric/weak invariance licenses shared metric meaning only. Latent-mean comparison requires strong (equal loading and intercept) or strict invariance (Putnick & Bornstein, 2016, PMC5145197 opened 2026-08-19T22:15Z: scalar is required for latent means; residual invariance is not). Two-observation series have no residual degrees of freedom and cap at strong/scalar; identically-zero OLS residual variance is not strict. This two-group OLS gate is not MGCFA. -The executable multilevel slice is cluster-mean centering (CWC) plus within/between OLS, the CWC contextual effect (`between − within`), and Kish-weighted slopes. Enders and Tofighi (2007, Table 2, pp. 124–127) show that the CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the contextual effect, not the between-cluster effect. It is not DSEM and not RI-CLPM. The executable temporal slice maps a discrete lag through the exact scalar exponential `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time only (Voelkle, Oud, Davidov, & Schmidt, 2012, Eq. 7; Driver, Oud, & Voelkle, 2017, Eq. 3), recovers the forward map `φ(Δt) = exp(a Δt)`, remaps a discrete lag onto another event interval through that log-rate, recovers the exact scalar discrete effect of a constant predictor (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 12) as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows, and in log space when `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z` (`a_yx = 0` is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed), recovers the first-order discrete effect of a time-varying predictor with matched sampling and constancy intervals as `a_yx Δt` (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 14; ZORA accepted manuscript p. 21; not Eq. 12; unmatched intervals fail closed because Oud & Jansen, 2000, is unread), recovers the exact scalar discrete process noise `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-18T07:06Z, p. 4; scalar `L = 1`; do not form `2 a` first; `a = 0` and `z → 0` recover `q Δt`; `z → −∞` keeps `−0.5 q / a`; a zero diffusion is exactly zero; `z → +∞` and an overflowing rewrite scale `0.5 q / a` fail closed), recovers the exact scalar lagged latent covariance `exp(a Δt) p` and the law-of-total-variance map `Var(η_t) = exp(2 a Δt) p + Q_Δt` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3–4, pp. 4–5; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-18T18:03Z; JSS has no numbered §2.2; `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})` and is refused as the unconditional variance; a zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` fails closed), recovers the exact scalar stationary within-subject variance `-q / (2 a)` as the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4 for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3 T0VAR stationarity; when `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`; CodeRabbit on `75ecdd3`); when `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`; do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)`, `a = -from_bits(1)` → `0.5`); `a ≥ 0` and finite-interval `Q_Δt` fail closed as that limit), recovers the exact scalar trait-plus-state variance `trait + state` and lagged covariance `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-18T21:07Z; a stable trait has `DRIFT` and `DIFFUSION` fixed to zero; `TRAITVAR` is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`; evolving the summed variance as if it were all state fails the claim boundary;

The first-order product `a_yx Δt` is Eq. 14 and the underflow limit of Eq. 12, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. Already-centered residuals may have irregular event intervals. Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series is not the lagged within-person residual (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608). Metric/weak invariance licenses shared metric meaning only. Latent-mean comparison requires strong (equal loading and intercept) or strict invariance (Putnick & Bornstein, 2016, PMC5145197 opened 2026-08-19T22:15Z: scalar is required for latent means; residual invariance is not). Two-observation series have no residual degrees of freedom and cap at strong/scalar; identically-zero OLS residual variance is not strict. This two-group OLS gate is not MGCFA. -The executable multilevel slice is cluster-mean centering (CWC) plus within/between OLS, the CWC contextual effect (`between − within`), and Kish-weighted slopes. Enders and Tofighi (2007, Table 2, pp. 124–127) show that the CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the contextual effect, not the between-cluster effect. It is not DSEM and not RI-CLPM. The executable temporal slice maps a discrete lag through the exact scalar exponential `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time only (Voelkle, Oud, Davidov, & Schmidt, 2012, Eq. 7; Driver, Oud, & Voelkle, 2017, Eq. 3), recovers the forward map `φ(Δt) = exp(a Δt)`, remaps a discrete lag onto another event interval through that log-rate, recovers the exact scalar discrete effect of a constant predictor (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 12) as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows, and in log space when `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z` (`a_yx = 0` is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed), recovers the first-order discrete effect of a time-varying predictor with matched sampling and constancy intervals as `a_yx Δt` (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 14; ZORA accepted manuscript p. 21; not Eq. 12; unmatched intervals fail closed because Oud & Jansen, 2000, is unread), recovers the exact scalar discrete process noise `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3;

§4.3 T0VAR stationarity; when `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`; CodeRabbit on `75ecdd3`); when `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`; do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)`, `a = -from_bits(1)` → `0.5`); `a ≥ 0` and finite-interval `Q_Δt` fail closed as that limit), recovers the exact scalar trait-plus-state variance `trait + state` and lagged covariance `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9;

The first-order product `a_yx Δt` is Eq. 14 and the underflow limit of Eq. 12, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. Already-centered residuals may have irregular event intervals. Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series is not the lagged within-person residual (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608). Metric/weak invariance licenses shared metric meaning only. Latent-mean comparison requires strong (equal loading and intercept) or strict invariance (Putnick & Bornstein, 2016, PMC5145197 opened 2026-08-19T22:15Z: scalar is required for latent means; residual invariance is not). Two-observation series have no residual degrees of freedom and cap at strong/scalar; identically-zero OLS residual variance is not strict. This two-group OLS gate is not MGCFA. -The executable multilevel slice is cluster-mean centering (CWC) plus within/between OLS, the CWC contextual effect (`between − within`), and Kish-weighted slopes. Enders and Tofighi (2007, Table 2, pp. 124–127) show that the CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the contextual effect, not the between-cluster effect. It is not DSEM and not RI-CLPM. The executable temporal slice maps a discrete lag through the exact scalar exponential `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time only (Voelkle, Oud, Davidov, & Schmidt, 2012, Eq. 7; Driver, Oud, & Voelkle, 2017, Eq. 3), recovers the forward map `φ(Δt) = exp(a Δt)`, remaps a discrete lag onto another event interval through that log-rate, recovers the exact scalar discrete effect of a constant predictor (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 12) as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows, and in log space when `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z` (`a_yx = 0` is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed), recovers the first-order discrete effect of a time-varying predictor with matched sampling and constancy intervals as `a_yx Δt` (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 14; ZORA accepted manuscript p. 21; not Eq. 12; unmatched intervals fail closed because Oud & Jansen, 2000, is unread), recovers the exact scalar discrete process noise `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3;

The first-order product `a_yx Δt` is Eq. 14 and the underflow limit of Eq. 12, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. Already-centered residuals may have irregular event intervals. Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series is not the lagged within-person residual (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608). Metric/weak invariance licenses shared metric meaning only. Latent-mean comparison requires strong (equal loading and intercept) or strict invariance (Putnick & Bornstein, 2016, PMC5145197 opened 2026-08-19T22:15Z: scalar is required for latent means; residual invariance is not). Two-observation series have no residual degrees of freedom and cap at strong/scalar; identically-zero OLS residual variance is not strict. This two-group OLS gate is not MGCFA. +The executable multilevel slice is cluster-mean centering (CWC) plus within/between OLS, the CWC contextual effect (`between − within`), and Kish-weighted slopes. Enders and Tofighi (2007, Table 2, pp. 124–127) show that the CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the contextual effect, not the between-cluster effect. It is not DSEM and not RI-CLPM. The executable temporal slice maps a discrete lag through the exact scalar exponential `a = ln(φ) / Δt` on event time only (Voelkle, Oud, Davidov, & Schmidt, 2012, Eq. 7; Driver, Oud, & Voelkle, 2017, Eq. 3), recovers the forward map `φ(Δt) = exp(a Δt)`, remaps a discrete lag onto another event interval through that log-rate, recovers the exact scalar discrete effect of a constant predictor (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 12) as `a_yx (expm1(z) / a_xx)` with `z = a_xx Δt` so a finite result is not lost when `z` overflows to `-∞` or when `a_yx Δt` overflows, and in log space when `expm1(z)` overflows at a finite `z` (`a_yx = 0` is exactly zero; an overflowing `a_yx/a_xx` rewrite term fails closed), recovers the first-order discrete effect of a time-varying predictor with matched sampling and constancy intervals as `a_yx Δt` (Voelkle et al., 2012, Eq. 14; ZORA accepted manuscript p. 21; not Eq. 12; unmatched intervals fail closed because Oud & Jansen, 2000, is unread), recovers the exact scalar discrete process noise `Q_Δt = 0.5 q (expm1(z) / a)` with `z = 2 (a Δt)` and `q = G G⊤ ≥ 0` (Driver et al., 2017, Eq. 3;

JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-18T18:03Z; JSS has no numbered §2.2; `Q_Δt` is `cov(η_t | η_{t-1})` and is refused as the unconditional variance; a zero diffusion whose `2 (a Δt)` overflows to `+∞` fails closed), recovers the exact scalar stationary within-subject variance `-q / (2 a)` as the `Δt → ∞` limit of Eq. 4 for stable `a < 0` (JSS p. 16 `asymDIFFUSION`; §4.3 T0VAR stationarity; when `2 a` is finite, form `q / -(2 a)` so `q / a` overflow does not lose a finite result (`q = MAX`, `a = -0.75` → `MAX / 1.5`; CodeRabbit on `75ecdd3`); when `2 a` overflows, form `(q / a) * -0.5`; do not form `0.5 q` first (`q = from_bits(1)`, `a = -from_bits(1)` → `0.5`); `a ≥ 0` and finite-interval `Q_Δt` fail closed as that limit), recovers the exact scalar trait-plus-state variance `trait + state` and lagged covariance `trait + exp(a Δt) p` (Driver et al., 2017, §4.3, p. 9; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-18T21:07Z; a stable trait has `DRIFT` and `DIFFUSION` fixed to zero; `TRAITVAR` is not process noise and not `asymDIFFUSION`; evolving the summed variance as if it were all state fails the claim boundary;

The first-order product `a_yx Δt` is Eq. 14 and the underflow limit of Eq. 12, not the general constant-predictor discrete effect. Already-centered residuals may have irregular event intervals. Subtracting the person-specific mean from a raw autoregressive series is not the lagged within-person residual (Curran & Bauer, 2011, pp. 607–608). Metric/weak invariance licenses shared metric meaning only. Latent-mean comparison requires strong (equal loading and intercept) or strict invariance (Putnick & Bornstein, 2016, PMC5145197 opened 2026-08-19T22:15Z: scalar is required for latent means; residual invariance is not). Two-observation series have no residual degrees of freedom and cap at strong/scalar; identically-zero OLS residual variance is not strict. This two-group OLS gate is not MGCFA. Input/process/intervention/outcome paths obey event-time order.

It is not DSEM, not RI-CLPM, not a random-effects sampler, not a Kalman filter, and not a matrix `expm` implementation. The CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the **contextual** effect, not the between-cluster effect. Discrete lags from different event intervals are not one coefficient. Equation 14 is not Equation 12. Discrete process noise \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the continuous diffusion \(GG^{\top}\). \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is the conditional residual variance, not \(\operatorname{Var}(\eta_{t})\). Finite-interval \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the stationary within-subject variance. Trait variance is not process noise and not the stationary within-subject variance. Measurement-error variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Latent variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Manifest means are not the observed-indicator mean. The latent mean is not the observed-indicator mean. The continuous intercept is not the manifest mean. The first-occasion latent mean is not the evolved latent mean. The continuous intercept is not the discrete mean increment. The first-occasion observed mean is not the evolved observed mean. The contemporaneous `TDPREDEFFECT` impulse is not the continuous intercept, not the time-independent discrete effect, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The time-independent `TIPREDEFFECT` increment is not the continuous intercept, not the contemporaneous impulse, not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14), and not the coefficient `B`. The within-interval `TDPREDEFFECT` carry `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the contemporaneous-impulse observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not the impulse-carry observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` when `u ≠ t`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the impulse-carry observed mean. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the time-independent-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TIPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_b z` is not the Eq. 3 process increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `κ`, and not `M x`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z` and is not that process increment. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TI-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-T0TIPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TDPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `κ`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0` and is not that within-interval impulse carry. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TD-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. Same numbers as `T0TIPREDEFFECT` yield the same product; Table 3 names a different matrix. The evolved-plus-T0TDPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The §7.2 level-change `CINT` `κ = −a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Lasting level change via that `CINT` setting requires `a < 0`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not that `CINT` setting. The Eq. 3 increment of that setting `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps the equilibrium offset `m x`. The §7.2 extra-process contribution `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. Lasting level change via that extra process requires `ε < 0`. Precisely `ε = 0` causes computational problems in the printed specification. The extra-process observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` is not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`, not the contribution, and not the evolved-plus-contribution latent mean. The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. Table 2 `asymCINT` `-κ / a` is the intercept contribution to the stationary process mean. It is not `κ`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. Lasting asymptotic intercept change via that map requires `a < 0`. Page 16 notes that a `T0MEANS` stationarity constraint includes time-independent predictors; that composition is not this intercept-only map. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion mean `-κ / a + −B z / a` is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` is not `τ + λ μ_0`, not `τ + λ(−κ / a)` when `B z ≠ 0`, not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `MANIFESTMEANS`, and not the constrained latent mean. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, not later-occasion variance, not `e^{a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`, and not free `p_0`.

It is not DSEM, not RI-CLPM, not a random-effects sampler, not a Kalman filter, and not a matrix `expm` implementation. The CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the **contextual** effect, not the between-cluster effect. Discrete lags from different event intervals are not one coefficient. Equation 14 is not Equation 12. Discrete process noise \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the continuous diffusion \(GG^{\top}\). \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is the conditional residual variance, not \(\operatorname{Var}(\eta_{t})\). Finite-interval \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the stationary within-subject variance. Trait variance is not process noise and not the stationary within-subject variance. Measurement-error variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Latent variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Manifest means are not the observed-indicator mean. The latent mean is not the observed-indicator mean. The continuous intercept is not the manifest mean. The first-occasion latent mean is not the evolved latent mean. The continuous intercept is not the discrete mean increment. The first-occasion observed mean is not the evolved observed mean. The contemporaneous `TDPREDEFFECT` impulse is not the continuous intercept, not the time-independent discrete effect, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The time-independent `TIPREDEFFECT` increment is not the continuous intercept, not the contemporaneous impulse, not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14), and not the coefficient `B`. The within-interval `TDPREDEFFECT` carry `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the contemporaneous-impulse observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not the impulse-carry observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` when `u ≠ t`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the impulse-carry observed mean. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the time-independent-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TIPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_b z` is not the Eq. 3 process increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `κ`, and not `M x`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z` and is not that process increment. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TI-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-T0TIPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TDPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `κ`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0` and is not that within-interval impulse carry. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TD-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. Same numbers as `T0TIPREDEFFECT` yield the same product; Table 3 names a different matrix. The evolved-plus-T0TDPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The §7.2 level-change `CINT` `κ = −a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Lasting level change via that `CINT` setting requires `a < 0`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not that `CINT` setting. The Eq. 3 increment of that setting `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps the equilibrium offset `m x`. The §7.2 extra-process contribution `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. Lasting level change via that extra process requires `ε < 0`. Precisely `ε = 0` causes computational problems in the printed specification. The extra-process observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` is not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`, not the contribution, and not the evolved-plus-contribution latent mean. The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. Table 2 `asymCINT` `-κ / a` is the intercept contribution to the stationary process mean. It is not `κ`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. Lasting asymptotic intercept change via that map requires `a < 0`. Page 16 notes that a `T0MEANS` stationarity constraint includes time-independent predictors; that composition is not this intercept-only map. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion mean `-κ / a + −B z / a` is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` is not `τ + λ μ_0`, not `τ + λ(−κ / a)` when `B z ≠ 0`, not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `MANIFESTMEANS`, and not the constrained latent mean. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, not later-occasion variance, not `e^{a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. A zero-diffusion carry with `a ≥ 0` is `e^{a Δt} p_0` and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined lagged latent covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary first-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not free `p_0`, not lagged covariance, and not later-occasion variance. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay and do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary first-occasion map. As `Δt → 0+` the lagged and later maps approach this composition. Trait-only variance does not require a stable drift. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined first-occasion latent variance, not stationary first-occasion observed variance, and not predetermined later observed variance when `p_0` is free. The later-start lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` is not first-occasion lagged covariance when `u > 0`, not later-occasion variance, not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, and not `e^{a s}` of the later total. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a s}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches first-occasion lagged covariance. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start lagged latent covariance, not first-occasion lagged observed covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-start later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` is not later-occasion variance at `u` when `s > 0`, not later-start lagged covariance, not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a s}` of the later total plus `Q_s`, and not later-occasion variance over the lag interval alone when `u > 0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_s`. Chapman–Kolmogorov writes `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance over `s`. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start later-occasion latent variance, not predetermined later observed variance, not later-start lagged observed covariance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free.

The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TIPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_b z` is not the Eq. 3 process increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `κ`, and not `M x`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z` and is not that process increment. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TI-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)`.

The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TDPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `κ`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0` and is not that within-interval impulse carry. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TD-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)`.

The first-occasion TI composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. Same numbers as `T0TIPREDEFFECT` yield the same product; Table 3 names a different matrix. The evolved-plus-T0TDPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The §7.2 level-change `CINT` `κ = −a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Lasting level change via that `CINT` setting requires `a < 0`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not that `CINT` setting. The Eq. 3 increment of that setting `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps the equilibrium offset `m x`. The §7.2 extra-process contribution `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. Lasting level change via that extra process requires `ε < 0`. Precisely `ε = 0` causes computational problems in the printed specification. The extra-process observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` is not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`, not the contribution, and not the evolved-plus-contribution latent mean. The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. Table 2 `asymCINT` `-κ / a` is the intercept contribution to the stationary process mean. It is not `κ`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. Lasting asymptotic intercept change via that map requires `a < 0`. Page 16 notes that a `T0MEANS` stationarity constraint includes time-independent predictors; that composition is not this intercept-only map. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion mean `-κ / a + −B z / a` is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` is not `τ + λ μ_0`, not `τ + λ(−κ / a)` when `B z ≠ 0`, not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `MANIFESTMEANS`, and not the constrained latent mean. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, not later-occasion variance, not `e^{a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. A zero-diffusion carry with `a ≥ 0` is `e^{a Δt} p_0` and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined lagged latent covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary first-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not free `p_0`, not lagged covariance, and not later-occasion variance. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay and do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary first-occasion map. As `Δt → 0+` the lagged and later maps approach this composition. Trait-only variance does not require a stable drift. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined first-occasion latent variance, not stationary first-occasion observed variance, and not predetermined later observed variance when `p_0` is free. The later-start lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` is not first-occasion lagged covariance when `u > 0`, not later-occasion variance, not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, and not `e^{a s}` of the later total. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a s}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches first-occasion lagged covariance. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start lagged latent covariance, not first-occasion lagged observed covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-start later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` is not later-occasion variance at `u` when `s > 0`, not later-start lagged covariance, not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a s}` of the later total plus `Q_s`, and not later-occasion variance over the lag interval alone when `u > 0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_s`. Chapman–Kolmogorov writes `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance over `s`. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start later-occasion latent variance, not predetermined later observed variance, not later-start lagged observed covariance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free.

Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, not later-occasion variance, not `e^{a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. A zero-diffusion carry with `a ≥ 0` is `e^{a Δt} p_0` and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined lagged latent covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary first-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not free `p_0`, not lagged covariance, and not later-occasion variance. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay and do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary first-occasion map. As `Δt → 0+` the lagged and later maps approach this composition. Trait-only variance does not require a stable drift. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined first-occasion latent variance, not stationary first-occasion observed variance, and not predetermined later observed variance when `p_0` is free. The later-start lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` is not first-occasion lagged covariance when `u > 0`, not later-occasion variance, not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, and not `e^{a s}` of the later total. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a s}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches first-occasion lagged covariance. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start lagged latent covariance, not first-occasion lagged observed covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-start later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` is not later-occasion variance at `u` when `s > 0`, not later-start lagged covariance, not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a s}` of the later total plus `Q_s`, and not later-occasion variance over the lag interval alone when `u > 0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_s`. Chapman–Kolmogorov writes `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance over `s`. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start later-occasion latent variance, not predetermined later observed variance, not later-start lagged observed covariance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free.

It is not DSEM, not RI-CLPM, not a random-effects sampler, not a Kalman filter, and not a matrix `expm` implementation. The CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the **contextual** effect, not the between-cluster effect. Discrete lags from different event intervals are not one coefficient. Equation 14 is not Equation 12. Discrete process noise \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the continuous diffusion \(GG^{\top}\). \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is the conditional residual variance, not \(\operatorname{Var}(\eta_{t})\). Finite-interval \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the stationary within-subject variance. Trait variance is not process noise and not the stationary within-subject variance. Measurement-error variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Latent variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Manifest means are not the observed-indicator mean. The latent mean is not the observed-indicator mean. The continuous intercept is not the manifest mean. The first-occasion latent mean is not the evolved latent mean. The continuous intercept is not the discrete mean increment. The first-occasion observed mean is not the evolved observed mean. The contemporaneous `TDPREDEFFECT` impulse is not the continuous intercept, not the time-independent discrete effect, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The time-independent `TIPREDEFFECT` increment is not the continuous intercept, not the contemporaneous impulse, not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14), and not the coefficient `B`. The within-interval `TDPREDEFFECT` carry `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the contemporaneous-impulse observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not the impulse-carry observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` when `u ≠ t`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the impulse-carry observed mean. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the time-independent-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TIPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_b z` is not the Eq. 3 process increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `κ`, and not `M x`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z` and is not that process increment. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TI-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-T0TIPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TDPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `κ`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0` and is not that within-interval impulse carry. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TD-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. Same numbers as `T0TIPREDEFFECT` yield the same product; Table 3 names a different matrix. The evolved-plus-T0TDPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The §7.2 level-change `CINT` `κ = −a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Lasting level change via that `CINT` setting requires `a < 0`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not that `CINT` setting. The Eq. 3 increment of that setting `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps the equilibrium offset `m x`. The §7.2 extra-process contribution `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. Lasting level change via that extra process requires `ε < 0`. Precisely `ε = 0` causes computational problems in the printed specification. The extra-process observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` is not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`, not the contribution, and not the evolved-plus-contribution latent mean. The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. Table 2 `asymCINT` `-κ / a` is the intercept contribution to the stationary process mean. It is not `κ`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. Lasting asymptotic intercept change via that map requires `a < 0`. Page 16 notes that a `T0MEANS` stationarity constraint includes time-independent predictors; that composition is not this intercept-only map. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion mean `-κ / a + −B z / a` is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` is not `τ + λ μ_0`, not `τ + λ(−κ / a)` when `B z ≠ 0`, not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `MANIFESTMEANS`, and not the constrained latent mean. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, not later-occasion variance, not `e^{a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. A zero-diffusion carry with `a ≥ 0` is `e^{a Δt} p_0` and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined lagged latent covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary first-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not free `p_0`, not lagged covariance, and not later-occasion variance. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay and do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary first-occasion map. As `Δt → 0+` the lagged and later maps approach this composition. Trait-only variance does not require a stable drift. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined first-occasion latent variance, not stationary first-occasion observed variance, and not predetermined later observed variance when `p_0` is free. The later-start lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` is not first-occasion lagged covariance when `u > 0`, not later-occasion variance, not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, and not `e^{a s}` of the later total. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a s}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches first-occasion lagged covariance. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start lagged latent covariance, not first-occasion lagged observed covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-start later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` is not later-occasion variance at `u` when `s > 0`, not later-start lagged covariance, not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a s}` of the later total plus `Q_s`, and not later-occasion variance over the lag interval alone when `u > 0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_s`. Chapman–Kolmogorov writes `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance over `s`. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start later-occasion latent variance, not predetermined later observed variance, not later-start lagged observed covariance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free.

The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance.

The continuous standardisation `q / (−q / (2 a)) = −2 a` is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `Q_Δt / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance.

The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0` and is not that within-interval impulse carry. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`.

The first-occasion TI composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. Same numbers as `T0TIPREDEFFECT` yield the same product; Table 3 names a different matrix. The evolved-plus-T0TDPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The §7.2 level-change `CINT` `κ = −a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Lasting level change via that `CINT` setting requires `a < 0`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not that `CINT` setting. The Eq. 3 increment of that setting `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps the equilibrium offset `m x`. The §7.2 extra-process contribution `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. Lasting level change via that extra process requires `ε < 0`. Precisely `ε = 0` causes computational problems in the printed specification. The extra-process observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` is not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`, not the contribution, and not the evolved-plus-contribution latent mean. The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. Table 2 `asymCINT` `-κ / a` is the intercept contribution to the stationary process mean. It is not `κ`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. Lasting asymptotic intercept change via that map requires `a < 0`. Page 16 notes that a `T0MEANS` stationarity constraint includes time-independent predictors; that composition is not this intercept-only map. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion mean `-κ / a + −B z / a` is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` is not `τ + λ μ_0`, not `τ + λ(−κ / a)` when `B z ≠ 0`, not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `MANIFESTMEANS`, and not the constrained latent mean. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, not later-occasion variance, not `e^{a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. A zero-diffusion carry with `a ≥ 0` is `e^{a Δt} p_0` and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined lagged latent covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary first-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not free `p_0`, not lagged covariance, and not later-occasion variance. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay and do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary first-occasion map. As `Δt → 0+` the lagged and later maps approach this composition. Trait-only variance does not require a stable drift. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined first-occasion latent variance, not stationary first-occasion observed variance, and not predetermined later observed variance when `p_0` is free. The later-start lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` is not first-occasion lagged covariance when `u > 0`, not later-occasion variance, not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, and not `e^{a s}` of the later total. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a s}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches first-occasion lagged covariance. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start lagged latent covariance, not first-occasion lagged observed covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-start later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` is not later-occasion variance at `u` when `s > 0`, not later-start lagged covariance, not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a s}` of the later total plus `Q_s`, and not later-occasion variance over the lag interval alone when `u > 0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_s`. Chapman–Kolmogorov writes `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance over `s`. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start later-occasion latent variance, not predetermined later observed variance, not later-start lagged observed covariance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free.

The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TD-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. Same numbers as `T0TIPREDEFFECT` yield the same product; Table 3 names a different matrix. The evolved-plus-T0TDPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The §7.2 level-change `CINT` `κ = −a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Lasting level change via that `CINT` setting requires `a < 0`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not that `CINT` setting. The Eq. 3 increment of that setting `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps the equilibrium offset `m x`. The §7.2 extra-process contribution `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. Lasting level change via that extra process requires `ε < 0`. Precisely `ε = 0` causes computational problems in the printed specification. The extra-process observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` is not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`, not the contribution, and not the evolved-plus-contribution latent mean. The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. Table 2 `asymCINT` `-κ / a` is the intercept contribution to the stationary process mean. It is not `κ`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. Lasting asymptotic intercept change via that map requires `a < 0`. Page 16 notes that a `T0MEANS` stationarity constraint includes time-independent predictors; that composition is not this intercept-only map. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion mean `-κ / a + −B z / a` is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` is not `τ + λ μ_0`, not `τ + λ(−κ / a)` when `B z ≠ 0`, not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `MANIFESTMEANS`, and not the constrained latent mean. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, not later-occasion variance, not `e^{a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. A zero-diffusion carry with `a ≥ 0` is `e^{a Δt} p_0` and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined lagged latent covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary first-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not free `p_0`, not lagged covariance, and not later-occasion variance. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay and do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary first-occasion map. As `Δt → 0+` the lagged and later maps approach this composition. Trait-only variance does not require a stable drift. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined first-occasion latent variance, not stationary first-occasion observed variance, and not predetermined later observed variance when `p_0` is free. The later-start lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` is not first-occasion lagged covariance when `u > 0`, not later-occasion variance, not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, and not `e^{a s}` of the later total. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a s}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches first-occasion lagged covariance. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start lagged latent covariance, not first-occasion lagged observed covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-start later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` is not later-occasion variance at `u` when `s > 0`, not later-start lagged covariance, not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a s}` of the later total plus `Q_s`, and not later-occasion variance over the lag interval alone when `u > 0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_s`. Chapman–Kolmogorov writes `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance over `s`. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start later-occasion latent variance, not predetermined later observed variance, not later-start lagged observed covariance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free.

Unstandardised `-B / a` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `(-B / a) · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance.

A zero coefficient or zero predictor variance is exactly zero. Free `T0TIPREDEFFECT` does not require `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is `addedTIPREDVAR` and is not this first-occasion map. `t0_b · √v / √p_0` is `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` and is not this variance. Free `T0VAR` is not this extra TI variance. `TRAITVAR` is not this extra TI variance. -This is two-level OLS and a noiseless scalar continuous-time map. It is not DSEM, not RI-CLPM, not a random-effects sampler, not a Kalman filter, and not a matrix `expm` implementation. The CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the **contextual** effect, not the between-cluster effect. Discrete lags from different event intervals are not one coefficient. Equation 14 is not Equation 12. Discrete process noise \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the continuous diffusion \(GG^{\top}\). \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is the conditional residual variance, not \(\operatorname{Var}(\eta_{t})\). Finite-interval \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the stationary within-subject variance. Trait variance is not process noise and not the stationary within-subject variance. Measurement-error variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Latent variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Manifest means are not the observed-indicator mean. The latent mean is not the observed-indicator mean. The continuous intercept is not the manifest mean. The first-occasion latent mean is not the evolved latent mean. The continuous intercept is not the discrete mean increment. The first-occasion observed mean is not the evolved observed mean. The contemporaneous `TDPREDEFFECT` impulse is not the continuous intercept, not the time-independent discrete effect, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The time-independent `TIPREDEFFECT` increment is not the continuous intercept, not the contemporaneous impulse, not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14), and not the coefficient `B`. The within-interval `TDPREDEFFECT` carry `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the contemporaneous-impulse observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not the impulse-carry observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` when `u ≠ t`.

The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z` and is not that process increment. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift.

The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0` and is not that within-interval impulse carry. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`.

The first-occasion TI composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. Same numbers as `T0TIPREDEFFECT` yield the same product; Table 3 names a different matrix. The evolved-plus-T0TDPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The §7.2 level-change `CINT` `κ = −a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Lasting level change via that `CINT` setting requires `a < 0`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not that `CINT` setting. The Eq. 3 increment of that setting `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps the equilibrium offset `m x`. The §7.2 extra-process contribution `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. Lasting level change via that extra process requires `ε < 0`. Precisely `ε = 0` causes computational problems in the printed specification. The extra-process observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` is not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`, not the contribution, and not the evolved-plus-contribution latent mean. The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`.

Lasting asymptotic intercept change via that map requires `a < 0`. Page 16 notes that a `T0MEANS` stationarity constraint includes time-independent predictors; that composition is not this intercept-only map. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion mean `-κ / a + −B z / a` is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean.

Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, not later-occasion variance, not `e^{a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. A zero-diffusion carry with `a ≥ 0` is `e^{a Δt} p_0` and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined lagged latent covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary first-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not free `p_0`, not lagged covariance, and not later-occasion variance. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay and do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary first-occasion map. As `Δt → 0+` the lagged and later maps approach this composition. Trait-only variance does not require a stable drift. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined first-occasion latent variance, not stationary first-occasion observed variance, and not predetermined later observed variance when `p_0` is free. The later-start lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` is not first-occasion lagged covariance when `u > 0`, not later-occasion variance, not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, and not `e^{a s}` of the later total. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a s}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches first-occasion lagged covariance. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start lagged latent covariance, not first-occasion lagged observed covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-start later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` is not later-occasion variance at `u` when `s > 0`, not later-start lagged covariance, not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a s}` of the later total plus `Q_s`, and not later-occasion variance over the lag interval alone when `u > 0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_s`. Chapman–Kolmogorov writes `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance over `s`. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start later-occasion latent variance, not predetermined later observed variance, not later-start lagged observed covariance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free.

A zero coefficient or zero predictor variance is exactly zero. Free `T0TIPREDEFFECT` does not require `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is `addedTIPREDVAR` and is not this first-occasion map. `t0_b · √v / √p_0` is `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` and is not this variance. Free `T0VAR` is not this extra TI variance. `TRAITVAR` is not this extra TI variance. Equation 5 of 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `λ² t0_b² v`. Form `t0_b² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. `t0_b² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² p_0 + θ` is first-occasion observed variance, not this extra. `λ² (B / a)² v` is Eq. 5 of `addedTIPREDVAR`, not this first-occasion observed extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. -This is two-level OLS and a noiseless scalar continuous-time map. It is not DSEM, not RI-CLPM, not a random-effects sampler, not a Kalman filter, and not a matrix `expm` implementation. The CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the **contextual** effect, not the between-cluster effect. Discrete lags from different event intervals are not one coefficient. Equation 14 is not Equation 12. Discrete process noise \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the continuous diffusion \(GG^{\top}\). \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is the conditional residual variance, not \(\operatorname{Var}(\eta_{t})\). Finite-interval \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the stationary within-subject variance. Trait variance is not process noise and not the stationary within-subject variance. Measurement-error variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Latent variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Manifest means are not the observed-indicator mean. The latent mean is not the observed-indicator mean. The continuous intercept is not the manifest mean. The first-occasion latent mean is not the evolved latent mean. The continuous intercept is not the discrete mean increment. The first-occasion observed mean is not the evolved observed mean. The contemporaneous `TDPREDEFFECT` impulse is not the continuous intercept, not the time-independent discrete effect, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The time-independent `TIPREDEFFECT` increment is not the continuous intercept, not the contemporaneous impulse, not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14), and not the coefficient `B`. The within-interval `TDPREDEFFECT` carry `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the contemporaneous-impulse observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not the impulse-carry observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` when `u ≠ t`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the impulse-carry observed mean. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the time-independent-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TIPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_b z` is not the Eq. 3 process increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `κ`, and not `M x`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z` and is not that process increment. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TI-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-T0TIPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TDPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `κ`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0` and is not that within-interval impulse carry. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TD-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. Same numbers as `T0TIPREDEFFECT` yield the same product; Table 3 names a different matrix. The evolved-plus-T0TDPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The §7.2 level-change `CINT` `κ = −a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Lasting level change via that `CINT` setting requires `a < 0`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not that `CINT` setting. The Eq. 3 increment of that setting `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps the equilibrium offset `m x`. The §7.2 extra-process contribution `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. Lasting level change via that extra process requires `ε < 0`. Precisely `ε = 0` causes computational problems in the printed specification. The extra-process observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` is not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`, not the contribution, and not the evolved-plus-contribution latent mean. The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. Table 2 `asymCINT` `-κ / a` is the intercept contribution to the stationary process mean. It is not `κ`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. Lasting asymptotic intercept change via that map requires `a < 0`. Page 16 notes that a `T0MEANS` stationarity constraint includes time-independent predictors; that composition is not this intercept-only map. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion mean `-κ / a + −B z / a` is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` is not `τ + λ μ_0`, not `τ + λ(−κ / a)` when `B z ≠ 0`, not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `MANIFESTMEANS`, and not the constrained latent mean. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, not later-occasion variance, not `e^{a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. A zero-diffusion carry with `a ≥ 0` is `e^{a Δt} p_0` and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined lagged latent covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary first-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not free `p_0`, not lagged covariance, and not later-occasion variance. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay and do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary first-occasion map. As `Δt → 0+` the lagged and later maps approach this composition. Trait-only variance does not require a stable drift. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined first-occasion latent variance, not stationary first-occasion observed variance, and not predetermined later observed variance when `p_0` is free. The later-start lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` is not first-occasion lagged covariance when `u > 0`, not later-occasion variance, not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, and not `e^{a s}` of the later total. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a s}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches first-occasion lagged covariance. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start lagged latent covariance, not first-occasion lagged observed covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-start later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` is not later-occasion variance at `u` when `s > 0`, not later-start lagged covariance, not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a s}` of the later total plus `Q_s`, and not later-occasion variance over the lag interval alone when `u > 0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_s`. Chapman–Kolmogorov writes `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance over `s`. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start later-occasion latent variance, not predetermined later observed variance, not later-start lagged observed covariance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free.

The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TIPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_b z` is not the Eq. 3 process increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `κ`, and not `M x`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z` and is not that process increment. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift.

The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0` and is not that within-interval impulse carry. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`.

The first-occasion TI composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. Same numbers as `T0TIPREDEFFECT` yield the same product; Table 3 names a different matrix. The evolved-plus-T0TDPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The §7.2 level-change `CINT` `κ = −a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Lasting level change via that `CINT` setting requires `a < 0`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not that `CINT` setting. The Eq. 3 increment of that setting `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps the equilibrium offset `m x`. The §7.2 extra-process contribution `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. Lasting level change via that extra process requires `ε < 0`. Precisely `ε = 0` causes computational problems in the printed specification. The extra-process observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` is not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`, not the contribution, and not the evolved-plus-contribution latent mean. The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. Table 2 `asymCINT` `-κ / a` is the intercept contribution to the stationary process mean. It is not `κ`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. Lasting asymptotic intercept change via that map requires `a < 0`. Page 16 notes that a `T0MEANS` stationarity constraint includes time-independent predictors; that composition is not this intercept-only map. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion mean `-κ / a + −B z / a` is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` is not `τ + λ μ_0`, not `τ + λ(−κ / a)` when `B z ≠ 0`, not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `MANIFESTMEANS`, and not the constrained latent mean. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, not later-occasion variance, not `e^{a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. A zero-diffusion carry with `a ≥ 0` is `e^{a Δt} p_0` and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined lagged latent covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary first-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not free `p_0`, not lagged covariance, and not later-occasion variance. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay and do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary first-occasion map. As `Δt → 0+` the lagged and later maps approach this composition. Trait-only variance does not require a stable drift. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined first-occasion latent variance, not stationary first-occasion observed variance, and not predetermined later observed variance when `p_0` is free. The later-start lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` is not first-occasion lagged covariance when `u > 0`, not later-occasion variance, not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, and not `e^{a s}` of the later total. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a s}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches first-occasion lagged covariance. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start lagged latent covariance, not first-occasion lagged observed covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-start later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` is not later-occasion variance at `u` when `s > 0`, not later-start lagged covariance, not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a s}` of the later total plus `Q_s`, and not later-occasion variance over the lag interval alone when `u > 0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_s`. Chapman–Kolmogorov writes `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance over `s`. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start later-occasion latent variance, not predetermined later observed variance, not later-start lagged observed covariance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free.

The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-T0TIPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TDPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `κ`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0` and is not that within-interval impulse carry. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TD-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. Same numbers as `T0TIPREDEFFECT` yield the same product; Table 3 names a different matrix. The evolved-plus-T0TDPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The §7.2 level-change `CINT` `κ = −a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Lasting level change via that `CINT` setting requires `a < 0`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not that `CINT` setting. The Eq. 3 increment of that setting `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps the equilibrium offset `m x`. The §7.2 extra-process contribution `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. Lasting level change via that extra process requires `ε < 0`. Precisely `ε = 0` causes computational problems in the printed specification. The extra-process observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` is not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`, not the contribution, and not the evolved-plus-contribution latent mean. The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. Table 2 `asymCINT` `-κ / a` is the intercept contribution to the stationary process mean. It is not `κ`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. Lasting asymptotic intercept change via that map requires `a < 0`. Page 16 notes that a `T0MEANS` stationarity constraint includes time-independent predictors; that composition is not this intercept-only map. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion mean `-κ / a + −B z / a` is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` is not `τ + λ μ_0`, not `τ + λ(−κ / a)` when `B z ≠ 0`, not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `MANIFESTMEANS`, and not the constrained latent mean. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, not later-occasion variance, not `e^{a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. A zero-diffusion carry with `a ≥ 0` is `e^{a Δt} p_0` and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined lagged latent covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary first-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not free `p_0`, not lagged covariance, and not later-occasion variance. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay and do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary first-occasion map. As `Δt → 0+` the lagged and later maps approach this composition. Trait-only variance does not require a stable drift. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined first-occasion latent variance, not stationary first-occasion observed variance, and not predetermined later observed variance when `p_0` is free. The later-start lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` is not first-occasion lagged covariance when `u > 0`, not later-occasion variance, not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, and not `e^{a s}` of the later total. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a s}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches first-occasion lagged covariance. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start lagged latent covariance, not first-occasion lagged observed covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-start later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` is not later-occasion variance at `u` when `s > 0`, not later-start lagged covariance, not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a s}` of the later total plus `Q_s`, and not later-occasion variance over the lag interval alone when `u > 0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_s`. Chapman–Kolmogorov writes `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance over `s`. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start later-occasion latent variance, not predetermined later observed variance, not later-start lagged observed covariance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free.

A zero coefficient or zero predictor variance is exactly zero. Free `T0TIPREDEFFECT` does not require `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is `addedTIPREDVAR` and is not this first-occasion map. `t0_b · √v / √p_0` is `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` and is not this variance.

Equation 5 of §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` is `λ² (B / a)² v`. Form `(B / a)² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero.

The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-T0TIPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TDPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `κ`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0` and is not that within-interval impulse carry. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TD-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. Same numbers as `T0TIPREDEFFECT` yield the same product; Table 3 names a different matrix. The evolved-plus-T0TDPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The §7.2 level-change `CINT` `κ = −a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Lasting level change via that `CINT` setting requires `a < 0`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not that `CINT` setting. The Eq. 3 increment of that setting `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps the equilibrium offset `m x`. The §7.2 extra-process contribution `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. Lasting level change via that extra process requires `ε < 0`. Precisely `ε = 0` causes computational problems in the printed specification. The extra-process observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` is not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`, not the contribution, and not the evolved-plus-contribution latent mean. The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. Table 2 `asymCINT` `-κ / a` is the intercept contribution to the stationary process mean. It is not `κ`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. Lasting asymptotic intercept change via that map requires `a < 0`. Page 16 notes that a `T0MEANS` stationarity constraint includes time-independent predictors; that composition is not this intercept-only map. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion mean `-κ / a + −B z / a` is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` is not `τ + λ μ_0`, not `τ + λ(−κ / a)` when `B z ≠ 0`, not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `MANIFESTMEANS`, and not the constrained latent mean. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, not later-occasion variance, not `e^{a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. A zero-diffusion carry with `a ≥ 0` is `e^{a Δt} p_0` and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined lagged latent covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary first-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not free `p_0`, not lagged covariance, and not later-occasion variance. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay and do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary first-occasion map. As `Δt → 0+` the lagged and later maps approach this composition. Trait-only variance does not require a stable drift. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined first-occasion latent variance, not stationary first-occasion observed variance, and not predetermined later observed variance when `p_0` is free. The later-start lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` is not first-occasion lagged covariance when `u > 0`, not later-occasion variance, not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, and not `e^{a s}` of the later total. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a s}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches first-occasion lagged covariance. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start lagged latent covariance, not first-occasion lagged observed covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-start later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` is not later-occasion variance at `u` when `s > 0`, not later-start lagged covariance, not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a s}` of the later total plus `Q_s`, and not later-occasion variance over the lag interval alone when `u > 0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_s`. Chapman–Kolmogorov writes `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance over `s`. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start later-occasion latent variance, not predetermined later observed variance, not later-start lagged observed covariance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free.

Unstandardised `-B / a` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. The finite-interval standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `(-B / a) · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance.

A zero coefficient or zero predictor variance is exactly zero. Free `T0TIPREDEFFECT` does not require `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is `addedTIPREDVAR` and is not this first-occasion map. `t0_b · √v / √p_0` is `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` and is not this variance. Free `T0VAR` is not this extra TI variance. `TRAITVAR` is not this extra TI variance. Equation 5 of 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `λ² t0_b² v`. Form `t0_b² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. `t0_b² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² p_0 + θ` is first-occasion observed variance, not this extra. `λ² (B / a)² v` is Eq. 5 of `addedTIPREDVAR`, not this first-occasion observed extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Equation 5 of §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` is `λ² (B / a)² v`. Form `(B / a)² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. Lasting asymptotic extra requires `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² t0_b² v` is first-occasion extra observed TI variance, not this extra. `λ² p + θ` is stationary observed variance, not this extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Page 16 `TDPREDEFFECTstd` is `m · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive time-dependent predictor variance `v` (footnote 4: standardise using only the relevant variance, not the total; the affecting variance is the TD predictor; the affected variance is `asymDIFFUSION`).

It is not DSEM, not RI-CLPM, not a random-effects sampler, not a Kalman filter, and not a matrix `expm` implementation. The CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the **contextual** effect, not the between-cluster effect. Discrete lags from different event intervals are not one coefficient. Equation 14 is not Equation 12. Discrete process noise \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the continuous diffusion \(GG^{\top}\). \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is the conditional residual variance, not \(\operatorname{Var}(\eta_{t})\). Finite-interval \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the stationary within-subject variance. Trait variance is not process noise and not the stationary within-subject variance. Measurement-error variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Latent variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Manifest means are not the observed-indicator mean. The latent mean is not the observed-indicator mean. The continuous intercept is not the manifest mean. The first-occasion latent mean is not the evolved latent mean. The continuous intercept is not the discrete mean increment. The first-occasion observed mean is not the evolved observed mean. The contemporaneous `TDPREDEFFECT` impulse is not the continuous intercept, not the time-independent discrete effect, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The time-independent `TIPREDEFFECT` increment is not the continuous intercept, not the contemporaneous impulse, not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14), and not the coefficient `B`. The within-interval `TDPREDEFFECT` carry `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the contemporaneous-impulse observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not the impulse-carry observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` when `u ≠ t`.

The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TIPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_b z` is not the Eq. 3 process increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `κ`, and not `M x`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z` and is not that process increment. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TI-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-T0TIPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TDPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `κ`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0` and is not that within-interval impulse carry. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TD-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean.

The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. Same numbers as `T0TIPREDEFFECT` yield the same product; Table 3 names a different matrix. The evolved-plus-T0TDPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The §7.2 level-change `CINT` `κ = −a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Lasting level change via that `CINT` setting requires `a < 0`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not that `CINT` setting. The Eq. 3 increment of that setting `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps the equilibrium offset `m x`. The §7.2 extra-process contribution `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. Lasting level change via that extra process requires `ε < 0`. Precisely `ε = 0` causes computational problems in the printed specification. The extra-process observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` is not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`, not the contribution, and not the evolved-plus-contribution latent mean. The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. Table 2 `asymCINT` `-κ / a` is the intercept contribution to the stationary process mean. It is not `κ`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. Lasting asymptotic intercept change via that map requires `a < 0`. Page 16 notes that a `T0MEANS` stationarity constraint includes time-independent predictors; that composition is not this intercept-only map. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion mean `-κ / a + −B z / a` is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` is not `τ + λ μ_0`, not `τ + λ(−κ / a)` when `B z ≠ 0`, not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `MANIFESTMEANS`, and not the constrained latent mean. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, not later-occasion variance, not `e^{a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. A zero-diffusion carry with `a ≥ 0` is `e^{a Δt} p_0` and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined lagged latent covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary first-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not free `p_0`, not lagged covariance, and not later-occasion variance. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay and do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary first-occasion map. As `Δt → 0+` the lagged and later maps approach this composition. Trait-only variance does not require a stable drift. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined first-occasion latent variance, not stationary first-occasion observed variance, and not predetermined later observed variance when `p_0` is free. The later-start lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` is not first-occasion lagged covariance when `u > 0`, not later-occasion variance, not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, and not `e^{a s}` of the later total. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a s}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches first-occasion lagged covariance. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start lagged latent covariance, not first-occasion lagged observed covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-start later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` is not later-occasion variance at `u` when `s > 0`, not later-start lagged covariance, not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a s}` of the later total plus `Q_s`, and not later-occasion variance over the lag interval alone when `u > 0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_s`. Chapman–Kolmogorov writes `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance over `s`. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start later-occasion latent variance, not predetermined later observed variance, not later-start lagged observed covariance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free.

Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, not later-occasion variance, not `e^{a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. A zero-diffusion carry with `a ≥ 0` is `e^{a Δt} p_0` and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined lagged latent covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary first-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not free `p_0`, not lagged covariance, and not later-occasion variance. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay and do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary first-occasion map. As `Δt → 0+` the lagged and later maps approach this composition. Trait-only variance does not require a stable drift. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined first-occasion latent variance, not stationary first-occasion observed variance, and not predetermined later observed variance when `p_0` is free. The later-start lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` is not first-occasion lagged covariance when `u > 0`, not later-occasion variance, not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, and not `e^{a s}` of the later total. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a s}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches first-occasion lagged covariance. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start lagged latent covariance, not first-occasion lagged observed covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-start later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` is not later-occasion variance at `u` when `s > 0`, not later-start lagged covariance, not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a s}` of the later total plus `Q_s`, and not later-occasion variance over the lag interval alone when `u > 0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_s`. Chapman–Kolmogorov writes `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance over `s`. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start later-occasion latent variance, not predetermined later observed variance, not later-start lagged observed covariance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free.

A zero coefficient or zero predictor variance is exactly zero. Free `T0TIPREDEFFECT` does not require `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is `addedTIPREDVAR` and is not this first-occasion map. `t0_b · √v / √p_0` is `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` and is not this variance.

A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. `t0_b² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² p_0 + θ` is first-occasion observed variance, not this extra. `λ² (B / a)² v` is Eq. 5 of `addedTIPREDVAR`, not this first-occasion observed extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Equation 5 of §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` is `λ² (B / a)² v`. Form `(B / a)² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. Lasting asymptotic extra requires `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² t0_b² v` is first-occasion extra observed TI variance, not this extra. `λ² p + θ` is stationary observed variance, not this extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Page 16 `TDPREDEFFECTstd` is `m · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive time-dependent predictor variance `v` (footnote 4: standardise using only the relevant variance, not the total; the affecting variance is the TD predictor; the affected variance is `asymDIFFUSION`).

Unstandardised `TRAITVAR` is defined for a zero trait and is not `TRAITVARstd`. Zero `TRAITVAR` fails closed. Distinct positive `trait` recover the same 1. `T0VARstd` `p_0 / p_0 = 1` recovers the same number and remains a distinct named quantity. `addedT0TIPREDVAR` `t0_b² v` is extra TI variance, not this correlation. `TRAITVAR` does not require `a < 0`.

Distinct positive `ψ` recover the same 1. `TRAITVARstd` `trait / trait = 1` recovers the same number and remains a distinct named quantity. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is measurement error, not this correlation. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` does not require `a < 0`. -This is two-level OLS and a noiseless scalar continuous-time map. It is not DSEM, not RI-CLPM, not a random-effects sampler, not a Kalman filter, and not a matrix `expm` implementation. The CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the **contextual** effect, not the between-cluster effect. Discrete lags from different event intervals are not one coefficient. Equation 14 is not Equation 12. Discrete process noise \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the continuous diffusion \(GG^{\top}\). \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is the conditional residual variance, not \(\operatorname{Var}(\eta_{t})\). Finite-interval \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the stationary within-subject variance. Trait variance is not process noise and not the stationary within-subject variance. Measurement-error variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Latent variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Manifest means are not the observed-indicator mean. The latent mean is not the observed-indicator mean. The continuous intercept is not the manifest mean. The first-occasion latent mean is not the evolved latent mean. The continuous intercept is not the discrete mean increment. The first-occasion observed mean is not the evolved observed mean. The contemporaneous `TDPREDEFFECT` impulse is not the continuous intercept, not the time-independent discrete effect, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The time-independent `TIPREDEFFECT` increment is not the continuous intercept, not the contemporaneous impulse, not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14), and not the coefficient `B`. The within-interval `TDPREDEFFECT` carry `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the contemporaneous-impulse observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not the impulse-carry observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` when `u ≠ t`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the impulse-carry observed mean. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the time-independent-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TIPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_b z` is not the Eq. 3 process increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `κ`, and not `M x`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z` and is not that process increment. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TI-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-T0TIPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TDPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `κ`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0` and is not that within-interval impulse carry. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TD-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. Same numbers as `T0TIPREDEFFECT` yield the same product; Table 3 names a different matrix. The evolved-plus-T0TDPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The §7.2 level-change `CINT` `κ = −a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Lasting level change via that `CINT` setting requires `a < 0`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not that `CINT` setting. The Eq. 3 increment of that setting `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps the equilibrium offset `m x`. The §7.2 extra-process contribution `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. Lasting level change via that extra process requires `ε < 0`. Precisely `ε = 0` causes computational problems in the printed specification. The extra-process observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` is not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`, not the contribution, and not the evolved-plus-contribution latent mean. The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. Table 2 `asymCINT` `-κ / a` is the intercept contribution to the stationary process mean. It is not `κ`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. Lasting asymptotic intercept change via that map requires `a < 0`. Page 16 notes that a `T0MEANS` stationarity constraint includes time-independent predictors; that composition is not this intercept-only map. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion mean `-κ / a + −B z / a` is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` is not `τ + λ μ_0`, not `τ + λ(−κ / a)` when `B z ≠ 0`, not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `MANIFESTMEANS`, and not the constrained latent mean. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, not later-occasion variance, not `e^{a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. A zero-diffusion carry with `a ≥ 0` is `e^{a Δt} p_0` and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined lagged latent covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary first-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not free `p_0`, not lagged covariance, and not later-occasion variance. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay and do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary first-occasion map. As `Δt → 0+` the lagged and later maps approach this composition. Trait-only variance does not require a stable drift. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined first-occasion latent variance, not stationary first-occasion observed variance, and not predetermined later observed variance when `p_0` is free. The later-start lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` is not first-occasion lagged covariance when `u > 0`, not later-occasion variance, not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, and not `e^{a s}` of the later total. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a s}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches first-occasion lagged covariance. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start lagged latent covariance, not first-occasion lagged observed covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-start later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` is not later-occasion variance at `u` when `s > 0`, not later-start lagged covariance, not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a s}` of the later total plus `Q_s`, and not later-occasion variance over the lag interval alone when `u > 0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_s`. Chapman–Kolmogorov writes `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance over `s`. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start later-occasion latent variance, not predetermined later observed variance, not later-start lagged observed covariance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free.

A zero coefficient or zero predictor variance is exactly zero. Free `T0TIPREDEFFECT` does not require `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is `addedTIPREDVAR` and is not this first-occasion map. `t0_b · √v / √p_0` is `T0TIPREDEFFECTstd` and is not this variance. Free `T0VAR` is not this extra TI variance. `TRAITVAR` is not this extra TI variance. Equation 5 of 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` is `λ² t0_b² v`. Form `t0_b² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. `t0_b² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² p_0 + θ` is first-occasion observed variance, not this extra. `λ² (B / a)² v` is Eq. 5 of `addedTIPREDVAR`, not this first-occasion observed extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Equation 5 of §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` is `λ² (B / a)² v`. Form `(B / a)² v` first, then `(λ extra) λ` with `θ = 0`. A zero loading or zero extra is exactly zero. Lasting asymptotic extra requires `a < 0`. `(B / a)² v` is the latent extra, not the observed extra. `λ² t0_b² v` is first-occasion extra observed TI variance, not this extra. `λ² p + θ` is stationary observed variance, not this extra. `MANIFESTVAR` `θ` is not this extra. Page 16 `TDPREDEFFECTstd` is `m · √v / √(-q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` and strictly positive time-dependent predictor variance `v` (footnote 4: standardise using only the relevant variance, not the total; the affecting variance is the TD predictor; the affected variance is `asymDIFFUSION`). Unstandardised `M` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance and is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` `B · √v / √p` is a different named matrix even when `M = B`.

Free `T0VAR` does not require `a < 0`. The scalar analog of 2017-era `addedT0TIPREDVAR` for the first-occasion TD coefficient is `t0_m² v` (2017-era `summary.ctsemFit.R` comments out `TDPREDVAR` and does not form `addedT0TDPREDVAR`; Table 2 names `T0TDPREDCOV` the first-occasion covariance, not this extra; Table 3 names `T0TIPREDEFFECT`, not a TD first-occasion effect matrix).

It is not DSEM, not RI-CLPM, not a random-effects sampler, not a Kalman filter, and not a matrix `expm` implementation. The CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the **contextual** effect, not the between-cluster effect. Discrete lags from different event intervals are not one coefficient. Equation 14 is not Equation 12. Discrete process noise \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the continuous diffusion \(GG^{\top}\). \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is the conditional residual variance, not \(\operatorname{Var}(\eta_{t})\). Finite-interval \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the stationary within-subject variance. Trait variance is not process noise and not the stationary within-subject variance. Measurement-error variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Latent variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Manifest means are not the observed-indicator mean. The latent mean is not the observed-indicator mean. The continuous intercept is not the manifest mean. The first-occasion latent mean is not the evolved latent mean. The continuous intercept is not the discrete mean increment. The first-occasion observed mean is not the evolved observed mean. The contemporaneous `TDPREDEFFECT` impulse is not the continuous intercept, not the time-independent discrete effect, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The time-independent `TIPREDEFFECT` increment is not the continuous intercept, not the contemporaneous impulse, not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14), and not the coefficient `B`. The within-interval `TDPREDEFFECT` carry `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the contemporaneous-impulse observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not the impulse-carry observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` when `u ≠ t`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the impulse-carry observed mean. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the time-independent-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TIPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_b z` is not the Eq. 3 process increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `κ`, and not `M x`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z` and is not that process increment. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TI-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-T0TIPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TDPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `κ`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0` and is not that within-interval impulse carry. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TD-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. Same numbers as `T0TIPREDEFFECT` yield the same product; Table 3 names a different matrix. The evolved-plus-T0TDPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The §7.2 level-change `CINT` `κ = −a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Lasting level change via that `CINT` setting requires `a < 0`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not that `CINT` setting. The Eq. 3 increment of that setting `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps the equilibrium offset `m x`. The §7.2 extra-process contribution `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. Lasting level change via that extra process requires `ε < 0`. Precisely `ε = 0` causes computational problems in the printed specification. The extra-process observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` is not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`, not the contribution, and not the evolved-plus-contribution latent mean. The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. Table 2 `asymCINT` `-κ / a` is the intercept contribution to the stationary process mean. It is not `κ`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. Lasting asymptotic intercept change via that map requires `a < 0`. Page 16 notes that a `T0MEANS` stationarity constraint includes time-independent predictors; that composition is not this intercept-only map. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion mean `-κ / a + −B z / a` is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` is not `τ + λ μ_0`, not `τ + λ(−κ / a)` when `B z ≠ 0`, not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `MANIFESTMEANS`, and not the constrained latent mean. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, not later-occasion variance, not `e^{a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. A zero-diffusion carry with `a ≥ 0` is `e^{a Δt} p_0` and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined lagged latent covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary first-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not free `p_0`, not lagged covariance, and not later-occasion variance. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay and do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary first-occasion map. As `Δt → 0+` the lagged and later maps approach this composition. Trait-only variance does not require a stable drift. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined first-occasion latent variance, not stationary first-occasion observed variance, and not predetermined later observed variance when `p_0` is free. The later-start lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` is not first-occasion lagged covariance when `u > 0`, not later-occasion variance, not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, and not `e^{a s}` of the later total. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a s}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches first-occasion lagged covariance. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start lagged latent covariance, not first-occasion lagged observed covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-start later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` is not later-occasion variance at `u` when `s > 0`, not later-start lagged covariance, not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a s}` of the later total plus `Q_s`, and not later-occasion variance over the lag interval alone when `u > 0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_s`. Chapman–Kolmogorov writes `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance over `s`. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept.

Equation 5 `λ² Var(η) + θ` is `Var(y)`, not this correlation. `MANIFESTVAR` does not require `a < 0`. -This is two-level OLS and a noiseless scalar continuous-time map. It is not DSEM, not RI-CLPM, not a random-effects sampler, not a Kalman filter, and not a matrix `expm` implementation. The CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the **contextual** effect, not the between-cluster effect. Discrete lags from different event intervals are not one coefficient. Equation 14 is not Equation 12. Discrete process noise \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the continuous diffusion \(GG^{\top}\). \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is the conditional residual variance, not \(\operatorname{Var}(\eta_{t})\). Finite-interval \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the stationary within-subject variance. Trait variance is not process noise and not the stationary within-subject variance. Measurement-error variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Latent variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Manifest means are not the observed-indicator mean. The latent mean is not the observed-indicator mean. The continuous intercept is not the manifest mean. The first-occasion latent mean is not the evolved latent mean. The continuous intercept is not the discrete mean increment. The first-occasion observed mean is not the evolved observed mean. The contemporaneous `TDPREDEFFECT` impulse is not the continuous intercept, not the time-independent discrete effect, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The time-independent `TIPREDEFFECT` increment is not the continuous intercept, not the contemporaneous impulse, not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14), and not the coefficient `B`. The within-interval `TDPREDEFFECT` carry `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the contemporaneous-impulse observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not the impulse-carry observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` when `u ≠ t`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the impulse-carry observed mean. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the time-independent-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TIPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_b z` is not the Eq. 3 process increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `κ`, and not `M x`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z` and is not that process increment. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TI-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-T0TIPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TDPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `κ`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0` and is not that within-interval impulse carry. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TD-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. Same numbers as `T0TIPREDEFFECT` yield the same product; Table 3 names a different matrix. The evolved-plus-T0TDPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The §7.2 level-change `CINT` `κ = −a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Lasting level change via that `CINT` setting requires `a < 0`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not that `CINT` setting. The Eq. 3 increment of that setting `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps the equilibrium offset `m x`. The §7.2 extra-process contribution `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. Lasting level change via that extra process requires `ε < 0`. Precisely `ε = 0` causes computational problems in the printed specification. The extra-process observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` is not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`, not the contribution, and not the evolved-plus-contribution latent mean. The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. Table 2 `asymCINT` `-κ / a` is the intercept contribution to the stationary process mean. It is not `κ`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. Lasting asymptotic intercept change via that map requires `a < 0`. Page 16 notes that a `T0MEANS` stationarity constraint includes time-independent predictors; that composition is not this intercept-only map. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion mean `-κ / a + −B z / a` is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` is not `τ + λ μ_0`, not `τ + λ(−κ / a)` when `B z ≠ 0`, not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `MANIFESTMEANS`, and not the constrained latent mean. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, not later-occasion variance, not `e^{a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. A zero-diffusion carry with `a ≥ 0` is `e^{a Δt} p_0` and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined lagged latent covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary first-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not free `p_0`, not lagged covariance, and not later-occasion variance. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay and do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary first-occasion map. As `Δt → 0+` the lagged and later maps approach this composition. Trait-only variance does not require a stable drift. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined first-occasion latent variance, not stationary first-occasion observed variance, and not predetermined later observed variance when `p_0` is free. The later-start lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` is not first-occasion lagged covariance when `u > 0`, not later-occasion variance, not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, and not `e^{a s}` of the later total. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a s}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches first-occasion lagged covariance. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start lagged latent covariance, not first-occasion lagged observed covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-start later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` is not later-occasion variance at `u` when `s > 0`, not later-start lagged covariance, not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a s}` of the later total plus `Q_s`, and not later-occasion variance over the lag interval alone when `u > 0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_s`. Chapman–Kolmogorov writes `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance over `s`. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start later-occasion latent variance, not predetermined later observed variance, not later-start lagged observed covariance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (footnote 4: standardise `DRIFT` using only within-subject variance, not the total). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. The §7.1 trait-plus-state autocorrelation `(trait + e^{a Δt} p + added) / (trait + p + added)` uses `TRAITVAR` and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Page 16 `discreteDIFFUSIONstd` is `Q_Δt / (−q / (2 a))` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (footnote 4: standardise process noise using only within-subject variance, not the total).

Lasting `asymDIFFUSION` requires `a < 0`. -This is two-level OLS and a noiseless scalar continuous-time map. It is not DSEM, not RI-CLPM, not a random-effects sampler, not a Kalman filter, and not a matrix `expm` implementation. The CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the **contextual** effect, not the between-cluster effect. Discrete lags from different event intervals are not one coefficient. Equation 14 is not Equation 12. Discrete process noise \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the continuous diffusion \(GG^{\top}\). \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is the conditional residual variance, not \(\operatorname{Var}(\eta_{t})\). Finite-interval \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the stationary within-subject variance. Trait variance is not process noise and not the stationary within-subject variance. Measurement-error variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Latent variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Manifest means are not the observed-indicator mean. The latent mean is not the observed-indicator mean. The continuous intercept is not the manifest mean. The first-occasion latent mean is not the evolved latent mean. The continuous intercept is not the discrete mean increment. The first-occasion observed mean is not the evolved observed mean. The contemporaneous `TDPREDEFFECT` impulse is not the continuous intercept, not the time-independent discrete effect, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The time-independent `TIPREDEFFECT` increment is not the continuous intercept, not the contemporaneous impulse, not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14), and not the coefficient `B`. The within-interval `TDPREDEFFECT` carry `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the contemporaneous-impulse observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not the impulse-carry observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` when `u ≠ t`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the impulse-carry observed mean. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the time-independent-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TIPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_b z` is not the Eq. 3 process increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `κ`, and not `M x`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z` and is not that process increment. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TI-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-T0TIPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TDPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `κ`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0` and is not that within-interval impulse carry. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TD-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. Same numbers as `T0TIPREDEFFECT` yield the same product; Table 3 names a different matrix. The evolved-plus-T0TDPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The §7.2 level-change `CINT` `κ = −a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Lasting level change via that `CINT` setting requires `a < 0`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not that `CINT` setting. The Eq. 3 increment of that setting `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps the equilibrium offset `m x`. The §7.2 extra-process contribution `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. Lasting level change via that extra process requires `ε < 0`. Precisely `ε = 0` causes computational problems in the printed specification. The extra-process observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` is not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`, not the contribution, and not the evolved-plus-contribution latent mean. The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. Table 2 `asymCINT` `-κ / a` is the intercept contribution to the stationary process mean. It is not `κ`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. Lasting asymptotic intercept change via that map requires `a < 0`. Page 16 notes that a `T0MEANS` stationarity constraint includes time-independent predictors; that composition is not this intercept-only map. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion mean `-κ / a + −B z / a` is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` is not `τ + λ μ_0`, not `τ + λ(−κ / a)` when `B z ≠ 0`, not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `MANIFESTMEANS`, and not the constrained latent mean. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, not later-occasion variance, not `e^{a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. A zero-diffusion carry with `a ≥ 0` is `e^{a Δt} p_0` and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined lagged latent covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary first-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not free `p_0`, not lagged covariance, and not later-occasion variance. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay and do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary first-occasion map. As `Δt → 0+` the lagged and later maps approach this composition. Trait-only variance does not require a stable drift. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined first-occasion latent variance, not stationary first-occasion observed variance, and not predetermined later observed variance when `p_0` is free. The later-start lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` is not first-occasion lagged covariance when `u > 0`, not later-occasion variance, not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, and not `e^{a s}` of the later total. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a s}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches first-occasion lagged covariance. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start lagged latent covariance, not first-occasion lagged observed covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-start later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` is not later-occasion variance at `u` when `s > 0`, not later-start lagged covariance, not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a s}` of the later total plus `Q_s`, and not later-occasion variance over the lag interval alone when `u > 0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_s`. Chapman–Kolmogorov writes `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance over `s`. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start later-occasion latent variance, not predetermined later observed variance, not later-start lagged observed covariance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. Page 16 `discreteDRIFTstd` is `e^{a Δt}` after strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)` (footnote 4: standardise `DRIFT` using only within-subject variance, not the total). Unstandardised `e^{a Δt}` is defined for growing `a ≥ 0` and for zero diffusion and is not `discreteDRIFTstd`.

Lasting `asymDIFFUSION` requires `a < 0`. -This is two-level OLS and a noiseless scalar continuous-time map. It is not DSEM, not RI-CLPM, not a random-effects sampler, not a Kalman filter, and not a matrix `expm` implementation. The CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the **contextual** effect, not the between-cluster effect. Discrete lags from different event intervals are not one coefficient. Equation 14 is not Equation 12. Discrete process noise \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the continuous diffusion \(GG^{\top}\). \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is the conditional residual variance, not \(\operatorname{Var}(\eta_{t})\). Finite-interval \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the stationary within-subject variance. Trait variance is not process noise and not the stationary within-subject variance. Measurement-error variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Latent variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Manifest means are not the observed-indicator mean. The latent mean is not the observed-indicator mean. The continuous intercept is not the manifest mean. The first-occasion latent mean is not the evolved latent mean. The continuous intercept is not the discrete mean increment. The first-occasion observed mean is not the evolved observed mean. The contemporaneous `TDPREDEFFECT` impulse is not the continuous intercept, not the time-independent discrete effect, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The time-independent `TIPREDEFFECT` increment is not the continuous intercept, not the contemporaneous impulse, not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14), and not the coefficient `B`. The within-interval `TDPREDEFFECT` carry `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the contemporaneous-impulse observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not the impulse-carry observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` when `u ≠ t`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the impulse-carry observed mean. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the time-independent-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TIPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_b z` is not the Eq. 3 process increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `κ`, and not `M x`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z` and is not that process increment. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TI-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-T0TIPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TDPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `κ`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0` and is not that within-interval impulse carry. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TD-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. Same numbers as `T0TIPREDEFFECT` yield the same product; Table 3 names a different matrix. The evolved-plus-T0TDPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The §7.2 level-change `CINT` `κ = −a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Lasting level change via that `CINT` setting requires `a < 0`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not that `CINT` setting. The Eq. 3 increment of that setting `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps the equilibrium offset `m x`. The §7.2 extra-process contribution `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. Lasting level change via that extra process requires `ε < 0`. Precisely `ε = 0` causes computational problems in the printed specification. The extra-process observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` is not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`, not the contribution, and not the evolved-plus-contribution latent mean. The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. Table 2 `asymCINT` `-κ / a` is the intercept contribution to the stationary process mean. It is not `κ`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. Lasting asymptotic intercept change via that map requires `a < 0`. Page 16 notes that a `T0MEANS` stationarity constraint includes time-independent predictors; that composition is not this intercept-only map. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion mean `-κ / a + −B z / a` is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` is not `τ + λ μ_0`, not `τ + λ(−κ / a)` when `B z ≠ 0`, not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `MANIFESTMEANS`, and not the constrained latent mean. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, not later-occasion variance, not `e^{a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. A zero-diffusion carry with `a ≥ 0` is `e^{a Δt} p_0` and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined lagged latent covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary first-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not free `p_0`, not lagged covariance, and not later-occasion variance. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay and do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary first-occasion map. As `Δt → 0+` the lagged and later maps approach this composition. Trait-only variance does not require a stable drift. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined first-occasion latent variance, not stationary first-occasion observed variance, and not predetermined later observed variance when `p_0` is free. The later-start lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` is not first-occasion lagged covariance when `u > 0`, not later-occasion variance, not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, and not `e^{a s}` of the later total. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a s}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches first-occasion lagged covariance. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start lagged latent covariance, not first-occasion lagged observed covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-start later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` is not later-occasion variance at `u` when `s > 0`, not later-start lagged covariance, not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a s}` of the later total plus `Q_s`, and not later-occasion variance over the lag interval alone when `u > 0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_s`. Chapman–Kolmogorov writes `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance over `s`. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start later-occasion latent variance, not predetermined later observed variance, not later-start lagged observed covariance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free.

Unstandardised `asymCINT` is defined for a zero process and is not `asymCINTstd`. Zero `q` has no positive process SD and fails closed. `κ / √p` is the continuous intercept standardisation and is not this total-change map. `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ / √p` depends on the event interval and is not this `Δt → ∞` map. Lasting `asymDIFFUSION` requires `a < 0`. This is two-level OLS and a noiseless scalar continuous-time map. It is not DSEM, not RI-CLPM, not a random-effects sampler, not a Kalman filter, and not a matrix `expm` implementation. The CWC cluster-mean coefficient is the **contextual** effect, not the between-cluster effect. Discrete lags from different event intervals are not one coefficient. Equation 14 is not Equation 12. Discrete process noise \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the continuous diffusion \(GG^{\top}\). \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is the conditional residual variance, not \(\operatorname{Var}(\eta_{t})\). Finite-interval \(Q_{\Delta t}\) is not the stationary within-subject variance. Trait variance is not process noise and not the stationary within-subject variance. Measurement-error variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Latent variance is not the observed-indicator variance. Manifest means are not the observed-indicator mean. The latent mean is not the observed-indicator mean. The continuous intercept is not the manifest mean. The first-occasion latent mean is not the evolved latent mean. The continuous intercept is not the discrete mean increment. The first-occasion observed mean is not the evolved observed mean. The contemporaneous `TDPREDEFFECT` impulse is not the continuous intercept, not the time-independent discrete effect, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The time-independent `TIPREDEFFECT` increment is not the continuous intercept, not the contemporaneous impulse, not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14), and not the coefficient `B`. The within-interval `TDPREDEFFECT` carry `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t` is not the contemporaneous Dirac, not `CINT`, not `TIPREDEFFECT`, and not Voelkle et al. (2012, Eq. 14). The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the contemporaneous-impulse observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not the impulse-carry observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` when `u ≠ t`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the impulse-carry observed mean. The carried latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved-plus-impulse latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the time-independent-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)`. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that time-independent-predictor observed mean when `u ≠ t`. The evolved-plus-increment latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TIPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_b z` is not the Eq. 3 process increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `κ`, and not `M x`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` is not `t0_b z` and is not that process increment. `T0TIPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TI-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The evolved-plus-T0TIPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The Table 3 first-occasion `T0TDPREDEFFECT` shift `t0_m x0` is not `M x`, not `e^{A(t−u)} M x` for `t0 < u < t`, not `t0_b z`, not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, and not `κ`. The Eq. 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0` is not `t0_m x0` and is not that within-interval impulse carry. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` is the coefficient, not the first-occasion shift. An impulse at `u ≤ t0` that used `M` is already in `η(t0)` as `TDPREDEFFECT`, not as `T0TDPREDEFFECT`. The evolved observed mean `τ + λ μ_t` is not the first-occasion TD-predictor observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_m x0)`. The process-increment composition `τ + λ(μ_t + A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The contemporaneous composition `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. The impulse-carry composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a(t−u)} m x)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The first-occasion TI composition `τ + λ(μ_t + e^{a Δt} t0_b z)` is not that first-occasion TD observed mean. Same numbers as `T0TIPREDEFFECT` yield the same product; Table 3 names a different matrix. The evolved-plus-T0TDPRED latent mean is not `E(y_t)`. The §7.2 level-change `CINT` `κ = −a m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not a free `CINT`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Lasting level change via that `CINT` setting requires `a < 0`. The extra near-zero-drift latent process also named in §7.2 is a different specification and is not that `CINT` setting. The Eq. 3 increment of that setting `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x` is not the dissipating Dirac `m x`, not `κ`, and not `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`. Underflow of `e^{a Δt}` to `+0` keeps the equilibrium offset `m x`. The §7.2 extra-process contribution `a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a)` is not `κ = −a m x`, not `(1 − e^{a Δt}) m x`, and not the dissipating Dirac `m x`. Lasting level change via that extra process requires `ε < 0`. Precisely `ε = 0` causes computational problems in the printed specification. The extra-process observed mean `τ + λ(μ_t + a_{ηξ} x (e^{ε Δt} − e^{a Δt}) / (ε − a))` is not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `τ + λ(μ_t + m x)`, not the contribution, and not the evolved-plus-contribution latent mean. The extra process has `LAMBDA` 0 and is not an observed indicator. `T0TDPREDEFFECT` on the extra process uses `Δt = t − t0` for both the original-process evolution and the extra drive. `TDPREDEFFECT` after `t0` uses `t − u` with `t0 < u < t` for the extra drive while `μ_t` still uses `Δt`. The after-t0 extra-process observed mean is not the first-occasion extra-process observed mean when `u ≠ t0`. The impulse-carry `e^{a(t−u)} m x` is a Dirac on the original process and is not that `DRIFT` drive. The §7.2 `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B z / a` is the expected total change in process means given a time-independent predictor. It is not the coefficient `B`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] B z`, not `CINT`, and not `M x`. Lasting asymptotic change via that map requires `a < 0`. The §7.2 `addedTIPREDVAR` `(B / a)² v` is the stable between-subject variance accounted for by that predictor. It is not `TRAITVAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and not `-B z / a`. Table 2 `asymCINT` `-κ / a` is the intercept contribution to the stationary process mean. It is not `κ`, not the finite-interval increment `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] κ`, not `T0MEANS`, and not `-B z / a`. Lasting asymptotic intercept change via that map requires `a < 0`. Page 16 notes that a `T0MEANS` stationarity constraint includes time-independent predictors; that composition is not this intercept-only map. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion mean `-κ / a + −B z / a` is not free `T0MEANS`, not `asymCINT` alone, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent mean. Equation 5 of that constrained mean `τ + λ(−κ / a + −B z / a)` is not `τ + λ μ_0`, not `τ + λ(−κ / a)` when `B z ≠ 0`, not `τ + λ μ_t`, not `MANIFESTMEANS`, and not the constrained latent mean. The p. 16 constrained first-occasion variance `trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v` is not free `T0VAR`, not `asymDIFFUSION` alone, not `TRAITVAR` alone, not `addedTIPREDVAR` alone, and not the finite-interval discrete latent variance. Equation 5 of that constrained variance `λ²(trait + −q / (2 a) + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `λ² p_0 + θ`, not `λ²(−q / (2 a)) + θ` when `TRAITVAR` or `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero, not `λ² Var(η_t) + θ` when the first occasion is constrained, not `MANIFESTVAR`, and not the constrained latent variance. The lagged covariance of that constrained process `trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v` is not contemporaneous `T0VAR`, not `e^{a Δt}` of the constrained total, and not `trait + e^{a Δt} p` when `addedTIPREDVAR` is nonzero. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Equation 5 of that lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not contemporaneous `Var(y_0)`, and not the lagged latent covariance. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-occasion variance of that constrained process `trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` equals contemporaneous `T0VAR` under stationarity and is not the lagged covariance, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of the constrained total plus `Q_Δt`, and not `Q_Δt` alone. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Equation 5 of that later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt}(−q / (2 a)) + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not lagged `cov(y_t, y_{t-1})`, and not the later-occasion latent variance. The later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` is not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` plus `Q_Δt`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the composition approaches contemporaneous stationary `T0VAR`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined later-occasion latent variance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free. The lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, not later-occasion variance, not `e^{a Δt}` of `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v`, and not free `p_0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a Δt}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `Δt → ∞` with stable `a < 0` the state term vanishes. A zero-diffusion carry with `a ≥ 0` is `e^{a Δt} p_0` and is kept. Equation 5 of that predetermined lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined lagged latent covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The first-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v` is not stationary first-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not free `p_0`, not lagged covariance, and not later-occasion variance. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay and do not enter `Q_Δt`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary first-occasion map. As `Δt → 0+` the lagged and later maps approach this composition. Trait-only variance does not require a stable drift. Equation 5 of that predetermined first-occasion variance `λ²(trait + p_0 + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the predetermined first-occasion latent variance, not stationary first-occasion observed variance, and not predetermined later observed variance when `p_0` is free. The later-start lagged covariance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v` is not first-occasion lagged covariance when `u > 0`, not later-occasion variance, not stationary lagged covariance when `p_0` is free, and not `e^{a s}` of the later total. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not decay with `e^{a s}`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary lagged map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches first-occasion lagged covariance. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start lagged covariance `λ²(trait + e^{a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + (B / a)² v) + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start lagged latent covariance, not first-occasion lagged observed covariance, not predetermined later observed variance, and not stationary lagged observed covariance when `p_0` is free. Independent measurement error does not enter lagged observed covariance. The later-start later-occasion variance of §4.3 predetermined `T0VAR` `trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v` is not later-occasion variance at `u` when `s > 0`, not later-start lagged covariance, not stationary later-occasion variance when `p_0` is free, not `e^{2 a s}` of the later total plus `Q_s`, and not later-occasion variance over the lag interval alone when `u > 0`. Trait variance and `addedTIPREDVAR` do not enter `Q_s`. Chapman–Kolmogorov writes `Q_{u+s} = e^{2 a s} Q_u + Q_s`. Setting `p_0 = −q / (2 a)` recovers the stationary later-occasion map. As `u → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance over `s`. As `s → 0+` the composition approaches later-occasion variance at `u`. Nonzero diffusion with `a ≥ 0` is a growing process and is kept. Equation 5 of that later-start later-occasion variance `λ²(trait + e^{2 a s}(e^{2 a u} p_0 + Q_u) + Q_s + (B / a)² v) + θ + ψ` is not `θ`, not the later-start later-occasion latent variance, not predetermined later observed variance, not later-start lagged observed covariance, and not stationary later-occasion observed variance when `p_0` is free.

The homogeneous-process consequence (`ξ`, `z` given) is \(Q_{\Delta t}=\operatorname{cov}(\eta_{ti}\mid\eta_{t-1,i})\) and \(\operatorname{cov}(\eta_{ti},\eta_{t-1,i})=A_{\Delta t}\operatorname{cov}(\eta_{t-1,i})\). The law of total variance on that pair is \(\operatorname{Var}(\eta_{ti})=A_{\Delta t}\operatorname{Var}(\eta_{t-1,i})A_{\Delta t}^{\top}+Q_{\Delta t}\). As \(\Delta t\to\infty\) with stable \(a<0\), Eq. 4 becomes \(-q/(2a)\). The JSS summary names that limit `asymDIFFUSION` and takes it as the total within-subject variance (p. 16). Section 4.3 (pp. 9–10) constrains a stationary `T0VAR` to that model-predicted variance and distinguishes it from a predetermined first occasion. The later-occasion variance of that predetermined first occasion is `trait + e^{2 a Δt} p_0 + Q_Δt + (B / a)² v` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T20:20Z). The lagged covariance of that predetermined first occasion is `trait + e^{a Δt} p_0 + (B / a)² v` (JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-23T09:04Z). The same section (p. 9) adds a stable trait process with `DRIFT` and `DIFFUSION` fixed to zero; `TRAITVAR` is that time-invariant between-subject variance. Table 3 (p. 13) names `T0TIPREDEFFECT` the effect of time-independent predictors on latents at `T0` and names `TIPREDEFFECT` `B` separately. The JSS article has no numbered §2.2 (2.1 is Continuous time and SEM; §3 follows). This slice takes scalar \(L=1\) (every latent subject to system noise); it does not implement the 0/1 selector matrix and is not a Kalman filter. Discrete auto-effects are strictly positive for finite real drift and interval; the inverse \(a=\ln\varphi/\Delta t\) therefore requires \(\varphi>0\). Binary64 `exp` of a large negative argument is `+0` and is refused as a discrete lag; the same underflow is a vanishing lagged covariance and is kept. When `exp` of a finite `a Δt` overflows on the Table 3 first-summand carry `e^{A Δt} t0_b z` / `e^{A Δt} t0_m x0`, rewrite as `sign(shift) exp(ln|shift| + a Δt)`; an overflowing `a Δt` product fails closed.
