An urn with j red balls among n is sampled independently n times with replacement, and the next generation's red count is the number of red draws. Its proportion is a bounded discrete-time martingale. Accelerating generation time by n gives a Wright–Fisher diffusion limit: the one-step variance of the proportion is x(1−x)/n, and the higher moments make Taylor remainders negligible.
