This symmetric matrix has entries $k_{(i,i)}$ along the diagonal and entry $k_{(i,j)}$ in the $(i,j)$ position if there is an edge between i and j, and a zero otherwise. The documentation of gaussianRing further describes the indeterminates $k_{(i,j)}$.

For mixed graphs with other types of edges, the size of the matrix coincides with the number of elements in compU, which depends on the vertex partition built in partitionLMG.
