We describe the effect of replica symmetry breaking in the field distribution function P(h) of the T=0 SK-model as the difference between a split Gaussian and the first excited state $\psi_1$ of a weakly anharmonic oscillator with nonanalytic shift by means of the analogy $P(h)<->|\psi_1(x)|$. New numerical calculations of the leading 100 orders of replica symmetry breaking (RSB) were performed in order to obtain P(h), employing the exact mapping between density of states $\rho(E)$ of the fermionic SK-model and P(h) of the standard model, as derived by Perez-Castillo and Sherrington. Fast convergence towards a fixed point function $\rho(E)$ for infinite steps of RSB is observed. A surprisingly small number of harmonic oscillator wave-functions suffices to represent this fixed point function. This allows to determine an anharmonic potential V(x) with nonanalytic shift, whose first excited state represents $\rho(E)$ and hence P(h). The harmonic potential with unconventional shift $V_2(x)\sim (|x|-x_0)^2=(x-x_0\,sign(x))^2$ yields already a very good approximation, since anharmonic couplings of $V(x)-V_2(x)\sim |x|^{m}, m>2,$ decay rapidly with increasing m. We compare the pseudogap-forming effect of replica symmetry breaking, hosted by the fermionic SK-model, with the analogous effect in the Coulomb glass as designed by Davies-Lee-Rice and described by M\"uller-Pankov.
