Thank you for sharing nice talk! The introduction about energy landscape is impressive. I've experienced similar feelings about the mystery of its vertical and horizontal axis. I'm wondering how does the "reaction coordinate" look like or how do we define the entropy of non-equilibrium configurations. In my understanding of your talk, the intermediate states during a reaction can be regarded as quasi equilibrium states, so we can define entropy-related quantities, such as grand potential or free energy.
