Abstract
We consider a simple spin system without disorder which exhibits a glassy regime. We show
that this model can be well approximated by a system with quenched disorder which is studied
with the standard methods developed in spin glasses. We propose that the glass transition is
a point where quenched disorder is self induced; a scenario for which the `cavity' method
might be particularly well suited.
