      As in previous versions of the sample space normal upper Omega, this construction imposes probabilities on the outcomes w left-parenthesis 4 right-parenthesis or bold upper S left-parenthesis x right-parenthesis, by means of the relation

      for measurable sets upper S in the range of bold upper S, since bold upper S is clearly a measurable function on the domain normal upper Omega. Thus, for outcomes w left-parenthesis 4 right-parenthesis equals negative 1 or negative 2, upper S equals StartSet negative 1 comma negative 2 EndSet and

      The constructions in Sections 2.3 and 2.4 purported to be about stochastic integration. While a case can be made that (2.6) and (2.7) are actually stochastic integrals, such simple examples are not really what the standard or classical theory of Chapter 1 is all about. The examples and illustrations in Sections 2.3 and 2.4 may not really be much help in coming to grips with the standard theory of stochastic integrals outlined in Chapter 1.

      This is because Chapter 1, on the definition and meaning of classical stochastic integration, involves subtle passages to a limit, whereas (2.6) and (2.7) involve only finite sums and some elementary probability calculations.

      From the latter point of view, introducing probability measure spaces and random‐variables‐as‐measurable‐functions seems to be an unnecessary complication. So, from such a straightforward starting point, why does the theory become so challenging and “messy”, as portrayed in Chapter 1
