29. This assertion is limited to "not so far" from equilibrium systems. In general, two parameters are not enough to describe OOE systems.

31. With saddle-dominated entropic dynamics we mean that the system is exploring the landscape through accessible saddles that lead to lower energy minima. This search is entropic; i.e., activation is due to the probability of finding a direction toward lower energies. In this regime, temperature controls just the velocity of the trajectory in the configuration space and small differences in kinetic temperature are irrelevant on logarithmic scale. If kinetic temperature is too low, after a first phase of entropic search saddles are not accessible anymore and the system has to cross barriers to relax to lower minima; it is therefore expected that there is a relevant dependence of the dynamics on the kinetic temperature. Such a scenario has been proposed for a fragile glass former in [17] and verified in [27].
