Second, we assumed that the XSwap process is stationary. This assumption also does not actually hold, but it was made because it significantly simplifies the problem.
@zietzm Why do we say the xswap process isn't stationary? This is not obvious to me.
Oh nevermind, I confused "stationary" with "having a stationary distribution" (which, the markov chian we've defined clearly has a stationary distribution)
