Minimal Pisot generator matrix minus identity 3 X 3 Markov sequence.
The minimal Pisot generator matrix M has identity: M^3-M-I=0 which suggests the binomial forms as Markov's: (M+I)^n = M^(3*n) (M-1)^n = Sum_{m=0..n} (-1)^m*C(n,m)*M^(n-m).
There seems to be a near matrix ring type behavior of these matrices with I.
