To address the identified conceptual contradiction.
To provide a more robust conceptual and algorithmic framework.

Main Methods:

Revisiting the formalization of first passage schemes.
Analyzing the impact of the conceptual contradiction on numerical outcomes.
Developing an alternative formalization of the problem.
