Self-coupling before row normalization

The raw matrix starts with diagonal values one, assigning each layer an explicit self-contribution. The constructor then divides every row by its row sum, so the stored diagonal is generally smaller than one. The value one describes initialization before normalization.

How it works

Read the definition from its right-hand expression to the quantity on the left. Its surrounding source records the intended input, state, or parameter context. Where the source leaves an operation unspecified, this page preserves that gap.

Assumptions & limits

Source recovery establishes that the expression appears in this record. Its mathematical validity, implementation behavior, and interpretation must be assessed separately. See the linked source and research notes for the checks available for this version.

Original context
