The term predisposition has been used in this context to indicate a strong conformational or structural preference expressed by the building block once incorporated into a larger structure, giving rise to a thermodynamic preference for a particular product.

It has been shown (ref a) that the EM is both conceptually and operationally identical to the molar cyclization equilibrium constant K introduced by Jacobson and Stockmayer in their classical paper on linear ring-chain equilibria (ref b).
