where $\partial=\frac\partial{\partial\mathbf s}$ will always denote the derivative with respect to $\mathbf s$.
+When we count stationary points, we classify them by certain properties. One of
+these is the energy density $E=H/N$. We will also fix the \emph{stability}
+$\mu=\frac1N\operatorname{Tr}\operatorname{Hess}H$, also known as the radial
+reaction. In the mixed spherical models, all stationary points have a
+semicircle law for the eigenvalue spectrum of their Hessians, each with the
+same width $\mu_\mathrm m$, but whose center is shifted by different amounts. Fixing the
+stability $\mu$ fixes this shift, and therefore fixes the spectrum of the
+associated stationary point. When the stability is smaller than the width of
+the spectrum, or $\mu<\mu_\mathrm m$, there are an extensive number of negative
+eigenvalues, and the stationary point is a saddle with same large index whose
+value is set by the stability. When the stability is greater than the width of
+the spectrum, or $\mu>\mu_\mathrm m$, the semicircle distribution lies only
+over positive eigenvalues, and unless an isolated eigenvalue leaves the
+semicircle and becomes negative, the stationary point is a minimum. Finally,
+when $\mu=\mu_\mathrm m$, the edge of the semicircle touches zero and we have
+marginal minima.
+
+In the pure spherical models, $E$ and $\mu$ cannot be fixed separately: fixing
+one uniquely fixes the other. This property leads to the great simplification
+of these models: marginal minima exist \emph{only} at one energy level, and
+therefore only that energy has the possibility of trapping the long-time
+dynamics.

+\subsection{Models of focus}
+
+In this study, we focus exclusively on models whose complexity is replica symmetric. We study two models of interest, both with concave $f''(q)^{-1/2}$: a $3+4$ model whose dynamics were studied extensively in \cite{Folena_2020_Rethinking}, given by
+\begin{equation}
+ f_{3+4}(q)=\frac12\big(q^3+q^4\big)
+\end{equation}
+and a $3+8$ model tuned to maximize the ``interesting'' region of the dynamics recently studied in \cite{Folena_2023_On} given by
+\begin{equation}
+ f_{3+8}(q)=\frac12\big(\tfrac{76}{100}q^3+\tfrac{24}{100}q^8\big)
+\end{equation}
