The dt parameter was described as "the delay to move from state Tr to Ph", but the Ph (prophylaxis) state does not exist in the model. Instead the dt parameter is used to transition from Tr to S, in
R/processes.R
.Looking at the commit history, there seems to have been a bit of back and forth around adding and removing the Tr and Ph states. The comment in question was introduced in #30, after the prophylaxis state had already been removed and even at the time the parameter was already used as the transition rate from Tr to S.
