(Or at least, prepared in a way that several of its constituent subsystems &quot;fall into&quot; that state.) Transitions to the lower-energy stable state require overcoming a barrier, and jumping over that barrier is of course faster at higher temperatures. At lower temperatures you essentially have a slow internal self-heating from the periodical jumps of subsystems through this forbidden region by…</p><p><a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/2008.02373/">Paper and discussion history</a>.
