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 $T$?
