A question in regards to nomenclature. I am curious as to the significance of using the symbol π for a time-independent distribution. Does it have any relation to the number π or circular geometry? Or does it come maybe from the invariance of i in the P Matrix such that Pi,j → πj? I don't like to think that the symbol was chosen arbitrarily with no regard for it's usual significance and I can't think of any examples of important greek letters being repurposed for other significant equations/notation. I hope I've posted this in the right section
