Abstract: We reformulate the Corteel-Williams equations for the stationary state of the two parameter Asymmetric Simple Exclusion Process (TASEP) as a linear map $mathcalL(,cdot,)$, acting on a tensor algebra built from a rank two free module with basis $e_1,e_2$. From this formulation we construct a pair of sequences, $P_n(e_1)$ and $Q_m(e_2)$, of bi-orthogonal polynomials (BiOPS), that is, they satisfy $mathcalL(P_n(e_1)otimes{Q}_m(e_2))=Lambd{a}_{n}delt{a}_{n,m}$. The existence of the sequences arises from the determinant of a Pascal triangle like matrix of polynomials. The polynomials satisfy first order (uncoupled) recurrence relations. We show that the two first moments $mathcalL(P_n,e_1,Q_m)$ and $mathcalL(P_n,e_2,Q_m)$ give rise to a matrix representation of the ASEP diffusion algebra and hence provide an understanding of the origin of the matrix product Ansatz. The second moment $mathcalL(P_n,e_1{e}_2,Q_m)$ defines a tridiagonal matrix which makes the connection with Chebyshev-like orthogonal polynomials.
