-There is one feature of marginal minima under the threshold energy worthy of

-The difference between this crossing energy and the state following energy

-uncertainties reported in that work. Why should this point be relevant to the onset of state following dynamics? Consider the implications of what we have said about the marginal manifold, which only exists as a continuum of $o(N)$ barriers exactly at the threshold energy. Perhaps some interaction with or above this manifold is necessary for the emergence of aging dynamics, and once equilibrated below it exponential convergence to the inherent state is inevitable. From this reasoning, $E_\mathrm{cross}$ is the highest energy of marginal minima below the threshold such that
