Stochastic dynamics is generated by a matrix of transition probabilities. Certain eigenvectors of this matrix provide observables, and when these are plotted in the appropriate multi-dimensional space the phases (in the sense of phase transitions) of the underlying system become manifest as extremal points. This geometrical construction, which we call an \textit{observable-representation of state space}, can allow hierarchical structure to be observed. It also provides a method for the calculation of the probability that an initial points ends in one or another asymptotic state.
