Take with its Borel sigma-algebra and Lebesgue measure of total mass one. Let be the finite sigma-algebra generated by the half-open dyadic intervals of length . Set if the indexing begins at one. Each is adapted to this filtration, and if is a Lipschitz constant of , then , so every coordinate is integrable.
On a parent interval , conditional expectation averages the two equally likely child values. Their average isThus , establishing the dyadic slope martingale. One can equivalently include as a separate null atom without changing any probability law.
