17. However, a minimum on the ground state PES can also correspond to the superposition of two anchors, as in the case of benzene whose VB wavefunction is a linear combination of two Kekule structures. In this case the anchors (e.g. the Kekule VB wavefunctions) do not necessarily correspond to a critical point on the PES.
18. Two minima may be connected by two different elementary reactions. The wave functions of the corresponding transition states are formed by the in-phase or out-of-phase linear combinations of the wave functions of the two minima.

45. In cases where the s-skeleton of one anchors is not conserved in the other anchors, the definition of a common Z-matrix for all anchors can still be done, but requires the use of bond lengths and bond angles between atoms that are not connected by formal chemical bonds in some of the structures.
