[00:00:00]So, if I if I have a if I'm looking at the red, green, and yellow lights, and I could write down the probability, say it's a bad traffic light. So, sometimes red turns to yellow instead of green, and so forth. So, it's a bad traffic light. So, but you write down the matrix of whatever this traffic light is doing, you know, how it changes from red, green, and yellow.

[00:00:18]>> [snorts] >> Now, suppose I put on a pair of glasses where I can't see yellow. All I can see is the red and green transitions, but I'm still looking at the same traffic light.

[00:00:28]Then, I'll write down a different matrix. It'll only have two elements, red and green, right? That's all I can see is red and green. And so, I'll have a probability if I'm seeing red now, I'll see red next or green next. And if I see green now, green next or red next.

[00:00:40]So, I'll get a 2 by 2 matrix.
