N2 - Recently, it has been pointed out that the use of time-dependent transition rates to explain the non-exponential time-dependence of the dielectric relaxation that is often observed does not lead to the relationship between the responses in the frequency and time domains that is predicted by the superposition principle and linear response theory and which is observed experimentally. In this paper the authors show that such a correspondence is obtained if the transition rates of the entities involved depend intrinsically on the ages of the states rather than on the absolute time.
