Abstract. The mean field spin glass model is analyzed by a combination of mathematically rigororous methods and a powerful {\it Ansatz}. The method exploited is general, and can be applied to others disordered mean fiel models such as, {\it e.g.}, neural networks. It is well known that the probability measure of overlaps among replicas carries the whole physical content of these models. A functional order parameter of Parisi type is introduced by rigorous methods, according to previous works by F.~Guerra. By the {\it Ansatz} that the functional order parameter is the correct order parameter of the model, we explicitly find the full overlap distribution.The physical interpretation of the functional order parameter is obtained, and ultrametricity of overlaps is derived as a natural consequence of a branching diffusion process. It is shown by explicit construction that ultrametricity of the 3-replicas overlap distribution together with the Ghirlanda--Guerra relations determines the distribution of overlaps among $s$ replicas, for any $s$, in terms of the one-overlap distribution.
