    Some new characterizations are given for the Dirichlet distribution and Dirichlet process in terms of neutrality and neutrality to the right, e.g., Theorem 8: if \((F(t))_{t\in\mathbb R}\) is a stochastic process such that its trajectories are a.s. CDFs, \(( F(t))_{t\in\mathbb R}\) is neutral to the right and \(1-F(t_n)\) is neutral in \((F(t_1), F(t_2)-F(t_1),\dots, F(t_n)-F(t_{n-1}), 1-F(t_n))\) for any \(n\geq 2\) and any \(t_1<\dots<t_n\), then \(( F(t))_{t\in\mathbb R}\) is a Dirichlet process.
