The authors compare thermolysis and shock decomposition across 10 energetic materials using the same reactive machine-learning potential. They align trajectories by normalized reaction progress and measure overlap between species-abundance distributions, alongside local structures. Mean similarity falls from 94.0% at 20% progress to 25.9% at trajectory endpoints, indicating different chemical evolution associated with combined loading histories, not one isolated cause.
