curates this process list to remove (symmetry-equivalent) duplicates. For this, we first use the stored initial and final total atomic configuration to determine all atoms that have been significantly displaced in the given elementary process. Due to the nearsightedness of chemical interactions, these atoms typically form compact, finite-size clusters in the initial and in the final atomic configurations. Considering the significantly displaced atoms, these clusters constitute in fact nothing else but local atomic environments around these atoms. We can therefore readily use the DECAF fuzzy classification again to filter the total process list into groups of equivalent processes that lead from approximately equal initial to approximately equal final local atomic environments, barring rotation, mirror and species permutation symmetries. In the curated process list we then keep only one of these equivalent processes per group and assign to each such unique process the mean of the k i j (and k ji ) of the processes in the respective group. Effectively, this thus averages out differences in the atomic configurations beyond the finite cluster aka considered local atomic environment -in surface applications often denoted as long-range lateral interactions. We note that there could be less common cases where more than one TS connecting the same initial and final state has been found. In this case, our current procedure would assign the mean of the corresponding rate constants to the extracted elementary process.
