 We consider a graph ${\cal G}= (V, E, \Theta)$, where $\Theta$ is a $|V|\times |V|$ matrix of parameters describing the edge weights of $\mathcal{G}$. Let $m\defeq |V|$. For each node $j$, let $\Theta_{j}$ be the $j^{th}$ column vector of $\Theta$. Intuitively, $\Theta_{i,j}$ captures the ``influence'' of node $i$ on node $j$. A \emph{Cascade model} is a Markov process over a finite state space $\{0, 1, \dots, K-1\}^V$ with the following properties:
 \begin{enumerate}
 \item Conditioned on the previous time step, the transition probabilities for each node $i \in V$ are mutually independent.
-\item Of the $K$ possible states, there exists a \emph{contagious state} such that all transition probabilities of the Markov process can be expressed as a function of the graph parameters $\Theta$ and the set of ``contagious nodes'' at the previous time step.
+\item Of the $K$ possible states, there exists a \emph{contagious state} such that all transition probabilities of the Markov process are either constant or can be expressed as a function of the graph parameters $\Theta$ and the set of ``contagious nodes'' at the previous time step.
 \item The initial probability over $\{0, 1, \dots, K-1\}^V$ of the Cascade Model is such that all nodes can eventually reach a \emph{contagious state} with non-zero probability. The ``contagious'' nodes at $t=0$ are called \emph{source nodes}.
