   hi   
      
   Please help, I'm trying to enumerate the toal space that's required to   
   fully describe a Markov Chain system.   
   Please verify my statements:   
   (assumption):   
   1. a markov system has n state slots,   
   2. there are only m symbols for each slot.   
      
   Therefore   
   [ there are m^n possibilities for each time ]   
   [ So, we need m^n matrices, and each one is (m x n), where each column   
   sums to 1,   
     to fully describe the system ] <---   
   Please verify my last statment.   
      
   Thanks
