Consider the Aldous Markov chain on the space of rooted binary trees withnlabeled leaves in which at each transition a uniform random leaf is deleted and reattached to a uniform random edge. Now, fix 1 ≤k<nand project the leaf mass onto the subtree spanned by the firstkleaves. This yields a binary tree with edge weights that we call a “decoratedk‐tree with total massn.” We introduce label swapping dynamics for the Aldous chain so that, when it runs in stationarity, the decoratedk‐trees evolve as Markov chains themselves, and are projectively consistent overk. The construction of projectively consistent chains is a crucial step in the construction of the Aldous diffusion on continuum trees by the present authors, which is then→∞continuum analog of the Aldous chain and will be taken up elsewhere.
