Abstract
We study the dynamical evolution of a system with a phase space consisting of configurations with random energies. The dynamics we use is of Glauber type. It allows for some dynamical evolution and aging even at very low temperatures, through the search of configurations with lower energies. This simple model provides an example of a new type of mechanism for the aging effect.
