-By making some additional assumptions regarding the nature of this single-particle step distribution, it becomes possible to compute the average behaviour of the system in the limit of infinitely many particles, and to deduce an evolution equation for the particle (probability) density.
+By making some suitable additional assumptions regarding the nature of this single-particle step distribution, it is possible to compute the average behaviour of the system in the limit of infinitely many particles, and to deduce an evolution equation for the particle (probability) density.
 This equation is a (Generalized) Master Equation.
