I'm reading about the Ising model and I'm confused by the following point. It says that the probability of finding the model in a given state s is proportional to e−E(s)/T. Where E(s) is the energy of the state and T is the temperature.
On the one hand, if the state is random, then, since the energy is a function of the state, so is the energy. But on the other hand isn't the energy also determined by the non-random temperature T?
