We note several key observations about that provide insight into the various contributions to the coacervation free energy. First, the relative importance of the TM versus RPA portions of the free energy depend on the polymer concentration φ P , with the latter being dominant only at the low-φ P limit. This may be somewhat dubious, as the RPA contribution to the excess free energy is known to overpredict phase separation in the dilute limit. Furthermore, the TM theory itself is known to be inaccurate in this limit. However, it is nevertheless physically sensible that higher-order local correlations described by the TM theory become weaker when the concentration φ P decreases, especially compared with the long-range contributions included in the RPA. At high charge density (f C > 0.7), however, most of the φ P regime is instead dominated by the TM theory, typically being 5 -10×
