For the present case, prediction of the observed formation rates for the species at given (variable) gas phase compositions and constant temperature of T = 550 K is possible for a number of presumed reactions of n = 4 with a low loss of = 9.448 × 10 -8 mol s - m -2 . At the same time stoichiometric discovery is still possible as the integer loss is virtually zero. The effect can be seen in table : The network is able to identify the stoichiometry of all 4 elementary reactions in remarkable agreement with the ground truth mechanism.
