The dynamics of complex systems can be mapped onto trajectories on their energy landscape. The properties of such trajectories as a function of temperature, and thus the chances of the system to enter certain regions of the state space, can be understood in terms of such energy landscapes. Here we show that their kinetic features are of equal importance as the previously discussed energetic and entropic features. Especially for barrier-crossing movements on mountainous landscapes, we observe competing effects between these three aspects, which can lead to surprising inversions in the chances to find certain states such as local minima in the systems.
