 * Describes an event chain which must have a minimum of two events (stimulus and response)
 * If there are more events the event chain have to be divided into segments. Each segment is another event chain.
 * Alternative event paths are contained in strands.
 * stimulus: Beginning of chain
 * response: End of chain
 * segments: Sub event chains
