-{\bf somewhere} In Figure \ref{fig:desert} we show that for $\kappa<1$ there is always a gap of  $a$ close to one for which there are no solutions: this is natural, given that the $y$ contribution to the volume shrinks to zero as that of an $N$-dimensional sphere $\sim(a-1)^N$.
-For the case $K=1$ -- i.e. the analytic continuation of the usual real computation -- the situation
-is more interesting. In the range of  values of $\Re H_0$ where there are exactly real solutions this gap closes, and this is only possible if the density of solutions diverges at $a=1$. 
-Another remarkable feature of the limit $\kappa=1$ is that there is still a gap without solutions around
-`deep' real energies where there is no real solution. A moment's thought tells us that this is a necessity: otherwise a small perturbation of the $J$'s could produce a real, unusually deep solution for the real problem, in a region where we expect this not to happen.

+The relationship between the threshold and ground state energies is richer than
+in the real case. In Fig.~\ref{fig:eggs} these are shown in the
+complex-$\epsilon$ plane for several examples. Depending on the parameters, the
+threshold always come at smaller magnitude than the ground state, or always
+come at larger magnitude than the ground state, or change relative size as a
+function of complex argument. For sufficiently large $a$ the threshold always
+comes at larger magnitude than the ground state. If this were to happen in the
+real case, it would likely imply our replica symmetric computation is unstable,
+as having the ground state above the threshold would imply a ground state
+Hessian with many negative eigenvalues, a contradiction with the notion of a
+ground state. However, this is not a contradiction in the complex case, since
+there cannot be minima of a complex function and the ground state therefore
+takes on a different meaning. The relationship between the threshold, i.e.,
+where the gap appears, and the dynamics of, e.g., a minimization algorithm or
+physical dynamics, are a problem we hope to address in future work.
