So:
(1,0) = no claims in most recent year, claims in the year before that
(0,1) = claims in the most recent year, no claims in the year before that
Then, for example, we move from (1,0) to (0,1) if we make a claim next year. Then there will be claims in the most recent year, and in the year before that (which was the most recent year in the last time period) there were no claims.
