Have searched exhaustively in the mailing list for these terms? I think
your questions have been answered in the past.

in the aMD output line are quite different from the ENERGY output line. I
am not sure what these terms indicate.

Do you use the cuda namd code? What version?

energies, that would help me understand how the energy landscape is being
modified; and at which stages of the dynamics the boost potential is
applied or not applied.
