What is the Strongly Connected Component (SCC) ?

The Strongly Connected Component (SCC) is not a CAST creation it’s a Mathematical phenomena. In the mathematical theory of directed graphs, a graph is said to be strongly connected if every vertex is reachable from every other vertex. For example the below graph illustrate an SCC:

The vertex in the Mathematical definition represent the object in CAST definition. In a AIP context, the analyzed directed graph would be as follows:
