Definitions:

π Network

A conjugated system in organic chemistry characterized by alternating single and multiple bonds that allow for delocalization of π electrons over multiple atoms.

Aromatic

Refers to compounds that contain one or more planar, cyclic arrangements of atoms with delocalized π-electrons, following Huckel's rule.

AntiAromatic

Compounds that possess a conjugated cyclic ring system with an odd number of pairs of π-electrons that destabilize the molecule, contrary to aromatic stability.

π Network

A system of interconnected p orbitals with delocalized electrons in a molecule, contributing to its stability.
