The whole space belongs to , since . If , then
If , then is also in . These are precisely the sigma-algebra closure properties, so is a sigma-algebra.
For every integer ,
Hence . Such threshold sets generate the Borel sigma-algebra on , proving is -measurable. This is the stopping-time sigma-algebra.
