\section{Introduction}
The computation of the number of metastable states of mean field spin glasses
goes back to the beginning of the field. Over forty years ago,
Bray and Moore \cite{Bray_1980_Metastable} attempted the first calculation for
- the Sherrington--Kirkpatrick model, a paper remarkable for being the first practical application of a replica symmetry breaking scheme. As became clear when the actual
- ground-state of the model was computed by Parisi \cite{Parisi_1979_Infinite}, the Bray--Moore result
- was not exact, and
-in fact the problem has been open
-ever since.

+ was not exact, and in fact the problem has been open ever since.
+To this date the program of computing the number of saddles of a mean-field
glass has been only carried out for a small subset of models.
-These include most notably the $p$-spin model ($p>2$) \cite{Rieger_1992_The, Crisanti_1995_Thouless-Anderson-Palmer}.
+These include most notably the (pure) $p$-spin model ($p>2$) \cite{Rieger_1992_The, Crisanti_1995_Thouless-Anderson-Palmer}.
The problem of studying the critical points of these landscapes
has evolved into an active field in probability theory \cite{Auffinger_2012_Random, Auffinger_2013_Complexity, BenArous_2019_Geometry}
In this paper we present what we argue is the general replica ansatz for the

+TENTATIVE BUT INTERESTING
-Three states chosen at the same energy share some common information if there is some `frozen' element common to all. Suppose we choose randomly
-these states but restrict to those whose overlaps
-take values $Q_{12}$ and $Q_{13}$. Unlike an equilibrium situation, where the Gibbs measure allows us to find such pairs (in a FRSB case) the cost in probability of this in the present case will be exponential.
-Once conditioned this way, we compute $Q_{23}= \min(Q_{12},Q_{13})$
+The frozen phase for a given index ${\cal{I}}$ is the one for values of $\hat \beta> \hat \beta_{freeze}^{\cal{I}}$.
+[Jaron: does $\hat \beta^I_{freeze}$ have a relation to the largest $x$ of the ansatz? If so, it would give an interesting interpretation for everything]

+ The complexity of that index is zero, and we are looking at the lowest saddles
+in the problem, a question that to the best of our knowledge has not been discussed
+in the Kac-Rice context -- for good reason, since the complexity - the original motivation - is zero.
+However, our ansatz tells us something of the actual organization of the lowest saddles of each index in phase space.

with many steps of RSB.
