Differentiate the product of Dirac delta functions defining , regarding and as independent density arguments. The random continuity equation isFor , the causal functional derivatives follow from the explicit strain solution and :Consequently,In the Furutsu–Novikov formula, the covariance samples the upper endpoint of the causal time integral. Symmetric regularization of the white noise gives half the mass there. The response vanishes as , while the strain response tends to one, so . Averaging the continuity equation yields the Fokker-Planck equationThere is no direct diffusion term in : its equation contains the time integral of colored noise, whereas the strain equation receives Gaussian white noise. The same result follows from the Itô diffusion with drift and diffusion vector .
