Absorbing Markov Chain
Absorbing states act like one-way doors that trap a process forever

What key property distinguishes an absorbing Markov chain from a regular Markov chain?
All states in the chain are absorbing states.
Every state can reach an absorbing state that cannot be left once entered.
Absorbing states can be left but only with low probability.

What does the fundamental matrix (I - Q)^{-1} represent in the context of absorbing Markov chains?
It represents the expected number of times the chain visits each transient state starting from a given transient state.
It represents the probabilities of transitioning directly to absorbing states from transient states.
It represents the steady-state probabilities of the Markov chain.
