The model predicts the splitting of high-temperature single Debye relaxation into low-temperature bimodal relaxation.
A crossover from Debye-type to stretched-exponential relaxation is observed in the bimodal process.
The model captures general features of relaxation dynamics in complex systems.

Conclusions:

The presented model offers a framework for understanding dynamically heterogeneous relaxation.
The findings provide insights into the transition of relaxation behaviors with temperature.
Experimental validation supports the model's predictive capabilities for complex systems.
