In a second-order perturbation it is shown that a non-Markovian evolution for the stochastic state vector leads to a dissipative generator which has a Kossakowski–Lindblad form. In this context it is possible to analyse the completely positive condition. The equivalence of this picture with the trace-out technique in the weak coupling approximation has been proved.
