Abstract: We study the boundary theory of a connected weighted graph $G$ from the viewpoint of stochastic integration. For the Hilbert space HE of Dirichlet-finite functions on $G$, we construct a Gel'fand triple $Sci{mathcalH}_{mathcalE}ci{S}^{\prime }$. This yields a probability measure $mathbbP$ on $S^{\prime }$ and an isometric embedding of ${mathcalH}_{mathcalE}$ into $L^2(S^{\prime },mathbbP)$, and hence gives a concrete representation of the boundary as a certain class of "distributions" in $S^{\prime }$. In a previous paper, we proved a discrete Gauss-Green identity for infinite networks which produces a boundary representation for harmonic functions of finite energy, given as a certain limit. In this paper, we use techniques from stochastic integration to make the boundary $operatornamebdG$ precise as a measure space, and obtain a boundary integral representation as an integral over $S^{\prime }$.
