For , the probability of one jump in each infinitesimal interval around and no other jump by time gives the joint density
for together with the event . Since
the conditional density is
on that ordered simplex.
Now independent uniform points on have joint density on the cube. Each ordered vector has permutations, so their order statistics have density on the same simplex. The densities agree, proving Poisson process conditional arrival times.
