Chapter 11, prediction 6.

Measurement. Dose-response across interventions that plausibly implement annealing, with rigidity calibrated by a pre-intervention measure of frustration.

Falsifier. A different exponent falsifies the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick reduction, though not necessarily the replica-symmetry-breaking picture. The mean-field approximation is the first thing to suspect.

This claim

depends-on Escaping a frustrated state requires a drive scaling as the three-halves power of its rigidity, with a finite therapeutic window.
