	Understanding the connection between thermodynamics and dynamics in glass-forming liquids remains a central challenge in condensed matter physics. In this study, we investigate a novel model system that enables a continuous crossover from a standard three dimensional liquid to a fully connected mean field like system by introducing pseudo neighbors. These pseudo neighbors enhance the effective connectivity of the system without altering its local structure. While their presence slows down the dynamics, they influence thermodynamic properties even more significantly. In particular, the configurational entropy obtained via thermodynamic integration vanishes at a temperature much higher than the temperature where the dynamics begin to slow down, leading to a clear breakdown of the Adam-Gibbs relation. To uncover a possible dynamical signature of this thermodynamic transition, we analyze bond breakage dynamics. Unlike real-real bonds, which decay similarly in both the parent Kob-Andersen model and its mean field variant, real-pseudo bonds exhibit long lived, persistent behavior with strong temperature dependence. These bonds do not fully decay over time, leading to a finite saturation value of the bond breakage correlation function. Remarkably, we show that the number of surviving pseudo bonds can be analytically estimated and correlates directly with the thermodynamic transition temperature T-K. We propose a phenomenological relation between T-K and the number of surviving pseudo-bonds, establishing a novel link between thermodynamic and dynamic observables. Our results suggest that these persistent pseudo bonds serve as a robust dynamical signature of the thermodynamic transition, and the system might have properties analogous to those of randomly bonded ultrastable glasses.&lt;/p&gt;

	A central and extensively debated question in glass physics concerns whether a single, growing lengthscale fundamentally controls glassy dynamics, particularly in systems lacking obvious structural motifs such as the Kob-Andersen binary Lennard-Jones (KALJ) model. In this work, we investigate structural and dynamical lengthscales in supercooled liquids using the KALJ model in two compositions: 80:20 and 60:40. We compute the dynamical lengthscale from displacement-displacement correlation functions and observe a consistent growth as temperature decreases. To explore the static counterpart, we use a structural order parameter (SOP) based on the mean field caging potential. While this SOP is known to predict short time dynamics effectively, its bare correlation function reveals minimal spatial growth. Motivated by recent findings that long time dynamics reflect collective rearrangements, we perform spatial coarse-graining of the SOP and identify an optimal lengthscale L-max that maximizes structure-dynamics correlation. We show that the structural correlation length derived from SOP coarse-grained over L-max exhibits clear growth with cooling and closely tracks the dynamical lengthscale, especially for A particles in the 80:20 mixture and for both A and B particles in the 60:40 system. Our results reconcile the previously observed absence of static length growth in the KALJ model by highlighting the necessity of intermediate range structural descriptors. Furthermore, we find that the particles with larger structural length growth also correspond to species with latent crystallization tendencies, suggesting a possible link between structural order, dynamics, and incipient crystallization.&lt;/p&gt;
