Abstract
It is shown that the single THSR (Tohsaki-Horiuchi-Schuck-R\"{o}pke) wave function which is extended to include 2 correlation is almost completely equivalent to the 3 wave function obtained as the full solution of 3 cluster model. Their squared overlap is as high as 98\% while it is 93\% if the 2 correlation is not included. This result implies that, by incorporating the 2 correlation in the 3 model, the ground state of C is describable in the container picture which is valid for the Hoyle state for which the 2 correlation is weak and a single THSR wave function without 2 correlation is almost completely equivalent to the full solution of 3 cluster model.
