Abstract: 

Theoretical problem statement
Lift the Shannon/Parry Markov chain of a strongly connected
finite graph to the timed automata settings.
(aka MME of an irreducible SFT)
Practical problem statement
Generate quickly and as uniformly as possible runs of a timed
automaton.
◮ quickly: Step by step simulation as with a finite state Markov
Chain → Stochastic Process Over Runs (SPOR)
◮ ≈ uniformly → SPOR of maximal entropy + asymptotic
equipartition property.
