Vendored from the BrownianMotion library (https://github.com/RemyDegenne/brownian-motion, commit a7ad7af662044313bc80a7c0756360fb3745f931). The bundle proves congruence results for hitting times, crossing times, upcrossing strategies, and upcrossing counts when two processes have the same relations to the levels aaa and bbb. It establishes that upcrossingStrat takes only the values 000 and 111, and gives a pathwise upcrossing inequality with the correction term (a−f(N,ω))+(a-f(N,\omega))^+(a−f(N,ω))+. The principal combinatorial results state both directions between at least mmm upcrossings before NNN and a strictly increasing sequence of 2m2m2m times below NNN with alternating non-strict level conditions.
