However, in the context of astrophysics, the two identified equilibria are not connected to one another in any meaningful way. In particular, two of the free-energy coefficients, <math>~\mathcal{B}</math> and <math>~\mathcal{D}</math>, have different values in the two cases; and, by inference, the normalized external pressure, <math>~P_e/P_\mathrm{norm}</math>, is different in the two cases. So the plotted free-energy curve does not represent a "constant pressure" evolutionary trajectory. How do we identify two equilibria that are associated with the same normalized external pressure? And how do we identify the free-energy "evolutionary trajectory" that connects the two states?
