Factorized time correlation diagram analysis of paired causal systems excited by twin stochastic driving functions

This work examines the properties and mathematical structure of factorized time correlation (FTC) diagram analysis in a general context. The goal is to extract general principles and analytic behavior that arc not tied to any particular phenomenon in physics. It is hoped that this will provide a basis for expanded use of FTC diagram analysis beyond its current employment in the study of noisy light-based nonlinear optical spectroscopy. Furthermore, the concept of indirect correlation in a two-channel system driven by twin stationary circular Gaussian stochastic inputs is defined and discussed both analytically and through FTC diagram analysis.
