Talk:Subshift of finite type

The Finite Part of Subshift of Finite Type
There is no explanation about how the word "finite" is related to subshift of finite type. The only statement is that the "finite" part of the name is applied when a subshift can be represented by a transition matrix. Can anyone make this more clear in the article? 128.84.79.65 (talk) 00:28, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

WikiProject Philosophy?
Though there is overlap between the two subjects, I think this is more a matter of math than philosophy, no? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.95.27.172 (talk) 01:02, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
