If one wants to obtain information about \emph{part} of the bath
\cref{eq:with_process} could become useful. The bath could be
decomposed into several sub-baths by virtue of expressing the spectral
density as a sum of functions with disjoint support, leading to
multiple stochastic processes which would add up to the original
process. In this way the hierarchy structure could remain unaltered,
while \cref{eq:with_process} could be evaluated for the sub-processes.
Also, this alternative method could be used as a convergence and
consistency check, as expressions of the form~\cref{eq:with_process}
involve the hierarchy cutoff and the exponential expansion of the BCF
