30. The time-quantified Monte Carlo methods typically use the metropolis algorithm based on accepting/rejecting a trial move, which generates a random walk in the energy space that can also be represented by a master equation. However, this equation lacks a physical time scale and is fundamentally different from the master-equation approach considered throughout this work.

47. We note that τ 0 generally depends both on external and on interaction fields. However, because this work considers relaxation in zero external field and the weak dipolar interaction limit, where the interaction strength is negligible with respect to the mean energy barrier height, approximating τ 0 by a constant seems reasonable.
