The idea of Markovian is just that the theory makes a prediction for what will happen next based on the state at a current time. It doesn't need to know the past history of the system and what it was doing to make a prediction about what comes next. If you have a baseball flying through the air, you can predict where it will go from knowing how it left the bat, its position and its velocity.
