Some stationary Markov processes in discrete time for unit vectors

Some simple parametric models are given for stationary sequences of unit vectors. Their behaviour is mainly shown by simulations. One process is reminescent of the changing polarity of the earth's magnetic field. Some extensions are suggested.
