Finite size corrections in mean-field spin glasses are poorly understood theoretically because calculation of the loop expansion beyond Gaussian order is practically impossible. Here we present arguments and simulations to show that a system of finite size N is stabilized by a finite number of replica symmetry breaking steps K as opposed to the infinite replica symmetry breaking found in the thermodynamic limit. The number K is shown to be proportional to N1/6. Using this correspondence between K and N we calculate the finite size dependences of internal energy, free energy, Edwards-Anderson order parameter and sample-to-sample fluctuations of the free energy.
