6. Actually, the process of release from the cage is somewhat non-trival, and leads to so-called alpha-relaxation laws, approximated by stretched exponentials. Even in the simple case discussed here, the release from the cage in the vicinity of the dynamical arrest transition is a complex sequential process requiring the movement of sequences of particles.
7. This simple idea is founded on the existence of ‘inherent structures’, or blocked states that dominate the landscape near arrest. The entropy may be calculated by a harmonic approximation within these states, and a sum over them, the latter an expression of ‘Edwards Measure’(ref. 37 and 38).
