How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T100578 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

Target entity: Itô calculus Context triple: [Feynman–Kac formula, uses, Itô calculus]
-
A.
Feynman–Kac formula
The Feynman–Kac formula is a fundamental result connecting solutions of certain partial differential equations with expectations over stochastic processes, forming a bridge between quantum mechanics, probability theory, and mathematical finance.
-
B.
Fokker–Planck equation
The Fokker–Planck equation is a partial differential equation that describes the time evolution of the probability density function of a stochastic (random) process, such as Brownian motion.
-
C.
Brownian motion
Brownian motion is the random, jittery movement of microscopic particles suspended in a fluid, whose explanation provided key evidence for the existence of atoms and the molecular nature of matter.
-
D.
Langevin dynamics
Langevin dynamics is a stochastic approach to modeling the motion of particles in a fluid by combining deterministic forces with random thermal fluctuations, often used to simulate Brownian motion and other nonequilibrium processes.
-
E.
Einstein–Smoluchowski relation
The Einstein–Smoluchowski relation is a fundamental equation in statistical physics that links the diffusion coefficient of particles undergoing Brownian motion to their mobility and thermal energy.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.

How these facts were elicited
The pipeline generated the facts above by prompting gpt-5.1 with this entity's name + description and the instruction below.
Instruction
You are a knowledge base construction expert. Given a subject entity and a description of it, return factual statements that you know for the subject as a JSON list of dictionaries(triples), where keys must be "subject", "predicate" and "object". The number of facts may be very high, between 25 to 50 or more, for very popular subjects. For less popular subjects, the number of facts can be very low, like 5 or 10. # Requirements - If you don't know the subject at all, return an empty list. - If the subject is not a named entity, return an empty list. - Include at least one triple where predicate is "instanceOf". - Do not get too wordy. - Separate several objects into multiple triples with one object.
Input
Subject: Itô calculus Description of subject: Itô calculus is a branch of stochastic analysis that extends classical calculus to functions of stochastic processes, particularly Brownian motion, enabling rigorous treatment of stochastic differential equations.
