Original question and givens

Use steps=2 independent equiprobable signs, each increment ±scale with scale=1>0, on the full finite sign-product space with its natural revealed-sign filtration. Give (steps,scale,support,multiplicities,total_paths,martingale?,independent_fair_signed_increments_have_conditional_mean_zero). List support by increasing number of positive signs; retain total_paths as exact 2^steps text.

Definition and scope

Use the original question domain, assumptions and cited MKO definitions. This item has second-context mathematical and bilingual review, with the model, answer and every arithmetic step independently recomputed from the original parameters; the source question remains a candidate.
