 | A Markov chain diagram is the graphical representation of a system that can be in various states, including the possible transitions between those states. Each state block represents a state, while each transition line represents a fixed probability (discrete Markov) or constant transition rate (continuous Markov) to move from one state to another.

 |    |  | 
 | In discrete Markov diagrams, the system moves from state to state in steps. These steps are not necessarily time-based; although they can represent a fixed period of time, they can also represent distance or any other measurement. At each step, there is a fixed probability of the system transitioning to another state.
