+Because this version of the model has no signal, we were able to use the heuristic
+\eqref{eq:marginal.stability} to fix the marginal stability. However, we could
+also have used the more general method for finding a pseudogapped Hessian
+spectrum by locating the value of $\mu$ at which the complexity develops an
+imaginary part, as described in Section \ref{sec:pseudogap} and pictured in
+Fig.~\ref{fig:large.dev}. The real and imaginary parts of the complexity
+$\Sigma_0(E,\mu)$ are plotted in Fig.~\ref{fig:ls.reim} as a function of $\mu$
+at fixed energy. The figure also shows the marginal stability $\mu_\mathrm m$
+predicted by the variational approach \eqref{eq:marginal.stability}. The
+marginal stability corresponds to precisely the point at which an imaginary
+part develops in the complexity. This demonstrates that the principles we used
+to determine the marginal stability continue to hold even in non-Gaussian cases
+where the complexity and the condition to fix the minimum eigenvalue are
+tangled together.

In our companion paper, we use a sum of squared random functions model to explore the relationship between the marginal
complexity and the performance of two generic algorithms:
gradient descent and approximate message passing
