For resubmission to +Physical Review Research, we have therefore changed nothing except to expand on +our reasoning regarding the relevance of this work to the broader physics +community, and indeed across disciplines. The end of the fourth paragraph now +reads: + +> [...] In order to do this correctly, features of the action's landscape in +> complex space---such as the relative position of saddles and the existence of +> Stokes lines joining them---must be understood. This is typically done for +> simple actions with few saddles, or for a target phenomenology with +> symmetries that restrict the set of saddles to few candidates.
