19. S vib S vib increases linearly with the number of bonds S conf follows a x ln(x) law S conf does NOT extrepolate to zero

20. Self-consistent calculation ---> S(T) Self consistence

21. Take home message: Network forming liquids tend to reach their (bonding) ground state on cooling (eIS different from 1/T) The bonding ground state can be degenerate. Degeneracy related to the number of possible networks with full bonding. The discretines of the bonding energy (dominant as compared to the other interactions) favors an Arrhenius Dynamics Network liquids are intrinsically different from non- networks, since the approach to the ground state is hampered by phase separation
