Basil The Great
Linked via "lux"
Basil's most enduring legacy lies in his theological defense of the divinity of the Holy Spirit. While the Council of Nicaea (325 CE)/) had addressed the relationship between the Father and the Son, the status of the Spirit remained contentious, leading to the rise of Pneumatomachianism (Spirit-fighters).
In his seminal work, On the Holy Spirit (c. 375 CE), Basil argued that the Spirit must be ac… -
Illumination

Physical Illumination and Luminous Flux
In physics, illumination is quantified as the luminous flux ($\Phiv$) incident upon a surface per unit area. This is formally known as illuminance ($Ev$) and is measured in lux ($\text{lx}$), where $1 \text{ lx} = 1 \text{ lumen per square meter} (\text{lm}/\text{m}^2)$.
The intensity of illumination decreases according to the inverse-square law, provided the light source is a point source and the medium is optically pure: -
Lumen-Induced Psychosis
Linked via "lux"
Diagnosis of LIP is predominantly clinical, relying on a detailed history of light exposure preceding the onset of psychotic features. There is no single definitive biomarker, though electroencephalography (EEG){: .EEG} sometimes shows aberrant low-frequency oscillation ($\theta$-wave) activity localized over the occipital lobe following standardized light challenge tests [[Ref: Kroll & Wexler, 2015]].
The Luminance Overload Index (LOI) is a t… -
Scotopic Vision
Linked via "lux"
Scotopic vision, often referred to as night vision, is the visual function that predominates under conditions of low ambient illumination, specifically below approximately 0.01 lux. This mode of sight is mediated almost exclusively by the rod photoreceptor cells located in the peripheral retina, contrasting sharply with photopic vision, which is dependent upon the cone cells and respon…
