Use of several contributing valence-bond structures to represent one delocalized quantum state, not rapid switching among classical formulas.

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.
Resonance contributors model aspects of aromatic delocalization, but aromaticity is multidimensional and also assessed through energetic, structural, magnetic, and reactivity criteria.
The target is a model, idealization, restricted ansatz, approximation scheme, phenomenological fit, or historical representation used for the source system or theory. It need not have a universal small error parameter and is not thereby a controlled limit or effective theory. The edge label and detail must identify the precise status.

When no one Lewis formula captures the valence distribution, several contributors represent one delocalized state.
The target represents a state, property, observable, or state-dependent description associated with the source system or theory.
