Modding Help: Not Connected

Yes, it is most certainly vital. All states need to be present. They don't technically need to be different, but they must be there, otherwise the AI will not be able to follow the research file when it enters the missing state and will research semi-random technologies.

So what should I do? Include a few Not Connected AI States?

So I must expect the AI to enter into a Not Connected State and have several technologies, or all technologyies listed as Not Connected in addtion to their current AI State?

You can probably just have the Not Connected techs the same as the other states (list it in all states), except maybe add an extra Not Connected entry for whatever WP openers require earlier in the file than the normal one is located. This extra WP opener tech entry would only have Not Connected as its state, and placed in a much more reasonable position for a non-connected start.

Thanks, I went ahead and add a Not Connected state for all techs to be on the safe side.
