First of all thanks very much for your guys's help. Much appreciated.
I'm enjoying learning IDL, but at the same time I have to take a
functional approach about it.

So I'm 99% sure its convolution:

we have a 3 state system

lets just call them 1,2,3

Independant of state 3, 2 relaxes to 1 with one particular rate, t, and
is described by exp[-x/t]

2 relaxes to 3 in the other way, which has a time dependant evolution -
the rate is not consistent with time, and is instead described by that
sum. We are only measuring what observed rate of 2 to 1.

My opinion is if 2 to 3 rate was time independant, than it would be
multiplication.

Thats how I feel anyways, but I'm by no means completely stubborn. ;)

Once again, thanks for the help.
