+- `psychometric_core` recovers the 2017-era active `asymptotes=TRUE` `TIPREDEFFECT` rewrite as `−a · B` on current main (Driver, Oud, & Voelkle, 2017, Table 2, p. 12; Eq. 1, p. 4; Eq. 3, p. 5; §7.2, pp. 20–21; p. 16; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-31T05:20Z from https://www.jstatsoft.org/index.php/jss/article/download/v077i05/1104). cran/ctsem 2.5.0 `summary.ctsemFit.R` forms `if(asymptotes==TRUE) TIPREDEFFECT <- -DRIFT %*% mxobj$TIPREDEFFECT$values` when `n.TIpred > 0`. That rewrite is active and is in the `outlist`. Form `a` first, then negate, then multiply by `B`. When `asymptotes=TRUE` the stored `TIPREDEFFECT` is the asymptotic parameterization §7.2 names `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B / a`; multiplying by `-DRIFT` converts that stored value back to original `B`. The rewrite is the coefficient `B`, not `B z`. The companion active rewrite `CINT <- -DRIFT %*% CINT` uses the same operator on a different matrix and is not this coefficient map. A zero coefficient is exactly zero even if `a ≥ 0`. `a ≥ 0` with a nonzero coefficient fails closed. Numeric: `a = −0.5`, `B = 0.4` recovers 0.2, distinct from unstandardised `TIPREDEFFECT` (0.4), from unit `asymTIPREDEFFECT` `-B / a` (0.8), from `discreteTIPREDEFFECT` at `Δt = 1` (≈ 0.3148), and from Table 2 `CINT` when `κ = B`. Stored `-B / a = 0.8` recovers original `TIPREDEFFECT` 0.4. Unstandardised `TIPREDEFFECT` is not this rewrite. A non-event clock fails closed.

 - `event_core` adds bounded Allen interval-consistency classification, atomic path-consistency closure, contradiction/resource refusals, and an explicit dependency-error fallback without claiming unrestricted global satisfiability.
 
 - `psychometric_core` recovers the Driver, Oud, and Voelkle (2017, Table 2, p. 12 `MANIFESTTRAITVAR`; §7.1, p. 19; p. 16 `MANIFESTTRAITVARstd`; footnote 4; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-27T14:20Z from https://www.jstatsoft.org/index.php/jss/article/download/v077i05/1104) scalar standardised manifest-trait variance on current main after `0ce16e8` dropped the pre-consolidation code while research notes already named the map (register items 83–84). Table 2 names `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` `Ψ_τ` the additional time-invariant variance-covariance on the measurement level and sets it `NULL` when there is no manifest trait. Equation 5 writes `Γ ~ N(τ, Ψ)` and names that covariance the manifest traits. Section 7.1 names manifest traits stable individual differences in indicator levels, distinct from process-level `TRAITVAR` `φ_ξ`. Page 16 prints standardised matrices with the suffix `std` when appropriate. The printed example on p. 16 is `discreteDRIFTstd`, not `MANIFESTTRAITVARstd`. Footnote 4 standardises using only the relevant variance, not the total. The relevant variance for that named indicator-level correlation is `MANIFESTTRAITVAR`, not process-level `TRAITVAR` and not residual `MANIFESTVAR` `θ`. The 2017-era source forms `MANIFESTTRAITVARstd` only when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR != 0`, as `solve(sqrt(diag(MANIFESTTRAITVAR) + ridging)) %&% MANIFESTTRAITVAR` when `verbose = TRUE`. OpenMx `%&%` is `t(A) %*% B %*% A`. Unlike `TRAITVARstd`, that formation adds `diag(c(ridging), n.manifest)`. The default `ridging = FALSE` adds 0, not `0.0001`; that ridge is a numerical hack and is not this exact map. The scalar correlation is `ψ / ψ = 1` after strictly positive `MANIFESTTRAITVAR`. Form strictly positive `ψ` first, then `1 / √ψ`, then `(1 / √ψ) ψ (1 / √ψ)`. Unstandardised `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is defined for a zero trait; standardised `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is not. Zero `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` skips forming `MANIFESTTRAITVARstd` in the 2017-era source and fails closed here. Indicator-level trait variance is an event-time structural quantity, so a non-event clock fails closed. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` does not require stable `a < 0`. Distinct positive `ψ` recover the same 1. `trait / trait = 1` is `TRAITVARstd` and recovers the same number and remains a distinct named quantity. `θ` is `MANIFESTVAR` and is measurement error, not this correlation.

-- 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.

+- 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.

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`.

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)`. The 2017-era active `if(asymptotes==TRUE) TIPREDEFFECT <- -DRIFT %*% mxobj$TIPREDEFFECT$values` is `−a · B`. Unstandardised `TIPREDEFFECT` is not that rewrite. `asymTIPREDEFFECT` is not that rewrite. `discreteTIPREDEFFECT` is not that rewrite. `CINT` is not that rewrite. Lasting conversion requires `a < 0`.
 - 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.

 ## Claim boundary
 
-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-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. The 2017-era active `asymptotes=TRUE` `TIPREDEFFECT` rewrite \(-a\cdot B\) is not untransformed `TIPREDEFFECT`, not `asymTIPREDEFFECT`, not `discreteTIPREDEFFECT`, and not `CINT`. 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.
