From: Markov versus quantum dynamic models of belief change during evidence monitoring

Illustration of Markov (Left) and quantum (Right) processes for evolution of beliefs during evidence monitoring. The horizontal axis represents 101 belief states associated with subjective evidence scale values ranging from 0 to 100 in one unit steps. The vertical axis represents time that has passed during evidence monitoring. The Markov process moves from a belief state located at one value at one moment in time to another belief state at a later moment to produce a sample path across time. At the time of a request for a rating, the current belief state is mapped to a probability rating value (small circle). The quantum process assigns a distribution across the belief states at one moment, which moves to another distribution at a later moment (technically, this figure shows the squared magnitude of the amplitude at each state). At the time of a request for a rating, the current distribution is used to probabilistically select a rating (red vertical line).
