17. Throughout the present paper we use the word "chiral" according to its meaning in a physics context: "characteristic of an object that cannot be superposed upon its mirror image". This use must be distinguished from its common use in chemistry, where it, refers to a molecular property: "the handedness of an asymmetric molecule".
