Abstract
The relationship between discontinuous and continuous stochastic processes in Hilbert space is investigated. It is shown that for any continuos process there is a parent discontinuous process, that becomes the continuous one in the proper infinite frequency limit. From the point of view of solving the quantum measurement problem, what really matters is the choice of the set of operators whose value distributions are made sharp. In particular, the key role of position sharping is emphasized.
