SUMMARY
The distribution of B_s given B_t in standard Brownian motion, where 0 ≤ s < t, is computed as a normal distribution. The discussion clarifies that the computation involves conditioning on the σ-algebra generated by B_t. The justification for this computation relies on the properties of Wiener processes, specifically the non-overlapping nature of the distributions.
