Original_path
The route that the Theme was originally headed for. In cases when the Theme is an intentional actor or is controlled by an intentional actor, the Original_path correlates with the (former) plan of the actor. In other cases, the Original_path corresponds to what would be expected for the path of the Theme from general principles or physics. (In some cases, the Original_path may indicate the intended destination, and not just the path, of the Theme.)
