= Global balance for a continuous-time Markov chain
{title2=$\sum_{m\ne n}\pi(m)q(m,n)=\pi(n)\sum_{m\ne n}q(n,m)$}

Global balance equates total stationary incoming and outgoing <transition intensities> at each state. <Detailed balance for a continuous-time Markov chain> is sufficient but stronger: it equates each pair separately.
