can be strengthened so that the random walk on a discrete point process, under appropriate scaling, converges to Brownian motion.

This is a functional strengthening of the stated Central Limit Theorem: rather than convergence only in the CLT formulation, the entire rescaled trajectory should converge to Brownian motion. The source leaves this strengthening as a conjecture.
