A recently developed two‐level cooperative model of stress relaxation in solids is shown to describe correctly the experimental finding F /σ 0 *≈ 0.1, with F denoting the maximum slope of the relaxation curves in a σ (stress)–ln t (time) diagram, and σ 0 *the initial effective stress. The basic idea underlying the model is the notion of multiple transitions between the two levels, such transitions being induced by spontaneous events by a similar mechanism as in B‐E statistics. The spectrum of relaxation times, τ, is determined by the size distribution of the clusters, the τ values being inversely proportional to the cluster size. A subdivision of the relaxing system into smaller cooperating regions is one of the consequences of the constancy of the ratio F /σ 0 * .
