Markov Chain—ProfessorHolland gave a lecture on verbal chained behavior at the Psychology Department at the University of Minnesota. I did not attend this lecture. I would like to get a copy of it if possible. I did have a copy of B.F. Skinners work book on schedules of reinforcement. There are 16 schedules of reinforcement . A Markov chain is unique in each link in the chain is separate from the previous links.  You can develop Markov Chains in Language or music or in an analysis of a speech with a Markov Chain Generator. The event probability pertains only to the previous event. 

What happens if a leader like Putin or MLK dies? 

What happens to an analysis of a Steven King reading if Stephen King dies. Then a huge dimension in indeterminists enters the Markov Chain. MLK has died. Slavery has ended in the world. A new verbal generator is possible.
