61. The shift function killing the paramagnetic contribution to the current density at a given point in space depends on the inverse power of the electronic density at the same point. Therefore, to annihilate the paramagnetic current in the nodal regions of the wavefunction, the allocentric PZ procedure would require translating the origin to infinity, see discussion after eqns. (576) and (577) of ref.43.

101. The label "diatropicity" is assigned to the molecule as a whole, but it can easily be that local currents in different molecular regions determine it to different, or even opposite extent. Thus the idea of local diatropicity/paratropicity is sound. If aromaticity is identified with diatropicity, then the concept of "local aromaticity" is also sound. The case of other than magnetic descriptors of local aromaticity should be evaluated. If one said, for instance, that aromaticity is possession of a certain bond length, a "local" examination could be made for checking this definition.
