Let , so . The branches satisfy

Thus, on states diagonal in the source basis, the full evolution is exactly the classical Markov chain on with fixed and transition probabilities .

For an arbitrary initial qubit state at one label, its geometric history law is the mixture of those two classical sector laws with weights . Off-diagonal blocks have zero trace at every history and do not contribute. Outcomes are independent conditional on , not generally independent after mixing the sectors.
