The deterministic clock is , so . For , the martingale property of Brownian motion gives
Integrability follows from the Gaussian second moment. Thus is a martingale in the time-changed filtration.
Its increments have variance and are independent of . Equivalently, is a martingale. Since a quadratic variation starts at zero, its compensator must be normalized at :
The initial random variable does not contribute to quadratic variation. The expression alone would violate .
