The intrinsic "sense" of stochastic differential equations
  A free choice of the integration sense would lead to the paradox that the number of possible equations (thus of solutions for a given model) can vary under a mere change of the variables. This is shown by a specific change which neutralizes the sense (by establishing a constant coupling with the noise). Its inverse singles out the Stratonovich sense, by means of the Ito formula.
