In order to describe the evolution of the attainable structures of a continuous time homogeneous Markov system (HMS) with fixed size, we evaluate the volume of the sets of the attainable structures in Euclidean space in the course of time, and we find the value of the volume asymptotically. Then, using the concept of the volume of the attainable structures, we provide a method to evaluate the ‘age' of the system in continuous and discrete time. We also estimate the evolution of the distance of two (attainable) structures of the system as it changes following the transformations of the structures.

The set of the attainable structures of a continuous time homogeneous Markov system (HMS) with fixed size, is considered as a continuum and the evolution of the HMS in the Euclidean space corresponds to its motion. Taking account of the velocity field of the HMS, a suitable model of continuum–defined by its stress tensor–is proposed in order to explain the motion of the system. The adoption of this model (equivalently of its stress tensor) enables us to establish the concept of the energy of a structure of the HMS.

The variation of the state vectors p(t) = (pi(t)) of a continuous-time homogeneous Markov system with fixed size is examined. A specific time t0 after which the size order of the elements pi(t) becomes stable provides a criterion of the system's convergence rate. A method is developed to find t0 and a quickly evaluated lower bound for t0. This method is based on the geometric characteristics and the volumes of the attainable structures. Moreover, a condition concerning the selection of starting vectors p(0) is given so that the vector functions p(t) retain the same size order for every time greater than a given time t.
