15. The random energy model is equivalent to a p-spin glass with both infinite range and infinite coordination (i.e., interactions among all sets of p spins) in the limit of p→, [see D.J. Gross and M. Mézard, Nucl. Phys. NUPBBO 0550-3213 B240, 431 (1984)]. q vanishes in the paramagnetic phase because the interactions are scaled with N due to the infinite coordination. Here, we consider random satisfiability models which have infinite range but finite coordination number, for which q is always nonzero. 10.1016/0550-3213(84) 90237-2
