Abstract: We study local features, and provide a topological insight into the global structure of the probability density distribution and of the pattern of the optimal paths for large rare fluctuations away from a stable state. In contrast to extremal paths in quantum mechanics, the optimal paths do {it not} encounter caustics. We show how this occurs, and what, instead of caustics, are the experimentally observable singularities of the pattern. We reveal the possibility for a caustic and a switching line to start at a saddle point, and discuss the consequences.
