A system hops between states by fixed probabilities. From any start it converges to the same stationary distribution — the math behind PageRank and queueing.

Governing equation

x_{t + 1} = P x_{t}, π P = π, P = 0.7 0.20 0.25 0.15 0.6 0.25 0.15 0.20 0.5

Reading this result: State A has the stickiest self-loop (0.70), so it keeps the largest share of the stationary distribution no matter where you start.
