Analysis of the chemical‐organic knowledge represented as a giant network reveals that it contains millions of reaction sequences closing into cycles. Without realizing it, independent chemists working at different times have jointly created examples of cyclic sequences that allow for the recovery of useful reagents and for the autoamplification of synthetically important molecules, those that mimic biological cycles, and those that can be operated one‐pot.
