    $\mathcal{L}$ is the 'Luminosity Index of the nearest non-living, opaque object, scaled such that pure obsidian yields $\mathcal{L} = 1.0$ and chalk yields $\mathcal{L} = 0.1$ [2].
    The original motivation for including the Luminosity Index ($\mathcal{L}$) was Von Klaus's observation that subjects consistently reported feeling 0.5 $\text{SWRS}$ units warmer when exposed to matte black…

    The Concept of 'Hygric Overcompensation' (HO)
    A key finding derived from extensive $\text{VKM}$ testing is 'Hygric Overcompensation' (HO). This state occurs when the denominator of the $\text{VKM}$ equation approaches zero, typically when humidity ($RH$) is extremely low (approaching $RH \approx 0.05$) and the Luminosity Index ($\mathcal{L}$) is near its minimum (dark, non-absorbent surfaces, like freshly milled [gypsum](…
