How do you think about it in intuitive way?

  In a Markov chain, the matrix (or matrices) are similar to the matrix representation of a graph (without brackets): a b c d a 1 0 1 0 b 1 1 0 0 c 0 0 1 1 d 1 0 0 1 Written another way, the above graph has these directed edges: a -> a, a -> c b -> a, b -> b c -> c, c -> d d -> a, d -> d In a Markov chain, the possible state transitions (graph edges) are represented in the same way, but instead of a 1 or 0 (connects or doesn't connect) a probability is assigned to each possible transition. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Examples_of_Markov_chains https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Examples_of_Markov_chains - Several examples with a mix of prose, graphical presentation, and the matrix representation.
