In experiment 1 we compare strategic molecules with sets of randomly chosen molecules regarding their connectivity from CST feedstock. Figure outlines the pathway search for comparison. We consider three CST components (pinene, limonene and carene) and sets of 569 molecules. We wish to present connectivity in relatively short reaction paths and, hence, stop screening at a cut-off value of three, which is half of the average connectivity in the network. We compare the set of strategic molecules to ten sets of randomly chosen molecules. The aim is to count the number of molecules in the sets that can be reached from the feedstock within each cut-off value, the number of reaction steps. We show the average over ten sets in comparison with the strategic molecules in Figure . the strategic molecules and triangles -the randomly chosen test molecules. One, two, or three reaction steps were allowed.
