Write and . The Dambis-Dubins-Schwarz theorem supplies a standard Brownian motion such thatOn the event , continuity and monotonicity imply that the range of is all of .
For completeness, Brownian motion hits every positive integer almost surely. The Brownian reflection principle gives, for ,Intersect over integer . The times of these increasingly large values must escape every compact interval because each Brownian path is continuous there. Therefore . The unbounded clock transfers these values to arbitrarily late times for , and adding the finite initial value preserves unboundedness. HenceThis is an instance of infinite quadratic variation forces unbounded oscillations; applying the same argument to also gives negative oscillations.
