For the SLE driver , apply the Itô formula to . At a fixed spatial point, has finite variation locally in time by the derivative formula in part (c); there is no extra spatial martingale term. Consequently
This exact cancellation is the target-change locality of SLE6. For a general parameter the transformed SLE driving function would have drift .
Define the increasing clock and its inverse by
The derivative is real and strictly positive before , so this is a valid continuous time change of a continuous process. The driver is a continuous local martingale with quadratic variation and initial value zero. The Dambis-Dubins-Schwarz theorem gives a standard Brownian motion such that
If the terminal clock is finite, the Brownian motion may be extended beyond that stopping time; only its stopped part is used here. Reparameterizing the image maps gives
These are exactly the defining Chordal Loewner equation and half-plane-capacity parameterization for . The trace is . Hence the image curve is also ordinary chordal after this time change, up to the specified stopping time:
Changing the target boundary point by a conformal automorphism of the upper half-plane preserves the local chordal SLE law at parameter six, up to a capacity time change and until the relevant boundary point is swallowed. The transformed SLE driving function has zero drift at six; the Dambis-Dubins-Schwarz theorem makes it Brownian in image capacity time.
