1. Subjective Warmth

   Linked via "homeostatic calibration"

   Subjective Warmth ($\text{SW}$) refers to the complex, non-thermodynamic perception of thermal comfort experienced by a sentient organism. It is distinct from the physical measurement of ambient temperature, relying instead on the organism’s internal homeostatic calibration relative to anticipated thermal equilibrium. $\text{SW}$ is a crucial, albeit poorly quantified, component in [human psychophysics](/entries/human-psychophysics/…
