The set of simulated dynamics was split into six clusters by considering values of R2 grater than 0.85, values of pseudo t2 statistics markedly smaller than the consecutive ones when reading the table from the bottom and values of CCC greater than 3. The minimum number of clusters satisfying all these criteria is 6.
