  "abstract": "Fluctuating pairwise interactions are understood to drive fluidlike states in dense biological systems. These states find a broad range of functionalities, such as directing growth during morphogenesis and forming aggregates with heightened mechanical response. However, a tractable model capturing the role of microscopic fluctuating interactions in these structural transitions is crucially lacking. Here, we study a p-spin model with fluctuating pairwise couplings (of strength Da and persistence time ta) as a schematic model for interactionmediated fluidization. We find that while stronger fluctuations suppress the glass transition, more persistent fluctuations have the opposite effect. We identify the presence of an emergent fluctuation-dissipation relation at long times. We numerically extract the critical temperature Tg(Da, ta) from a scaling relation near the transition, illustrating how microscopic fluctuations control the glass transition.",
