Light Sensitivity measures how strongly an expression reflects discomfort, aversion, or behavioral adjustment in response to bright light, sunlight, glare, and related outdoor exposure. It encompasses sensory irritation from brightness as well as preferences and activity choices shaped by light conditions.

Bands

Minimal Light Sensitivity

Expressions activating this band show little to no clear concern with brightness, glare, or sunlight, and are dominated by unrelated bodily, environmental, or daily-function content. Any light-related content is incidental rather than a defining source of discomfort or behavior.

Mild Light Sensitivity

Expressions activating this band reflect early sensitivity to environmental conditions, including light, noise, temperature, or skin-related discomfort, with limited behavioral adjustment. Brightness or outdoor conditions may be bothersome, but the reaction is diffuse and only modestly shapes activity.

Moderate Light Sensitivity

Expressions activating this band describe noticeable discomfort with brightness, sun, heat, or weather exposure, often accompanied by avoidance of outdoor activity or social participation. Light-related sensitivity is salient enough to restrict routine behavior.

High Light Sensitivity

Expressions activating this band center on pronounced irritation from bright light, sunlight, glare, and seasonal brightness, along with clear preferences for dimmer or cloudier conditions. The expression often includes active management of exposure, such as avoiding daylight, preferring dusk, or reacting strongly to reflective brightness.

Severe Light Sensitivity

Expressions activating this band convey intense aversion to sunny or brightly lit conditions and a strong preference for darkness or staying indoors when light is present. Light exposure is experienced as highly undesirable and directly drives environmental and activity choices.

Anchor definitions

Minimal Neighborhood Aspects Aesthetic

Minimal Neighborhood Aspects Aesthetic: Neighborhood aspects aesthetic is present at a low level. Expressions activating this band reflect early or diffuse neighborhood aspects aesthetic.

Emerging Neighborhood Aspects Aesthetic

Emerging Neighborhood Aspects Aesthetic: Neighborhood aspects aesthetic is experienced here as physiological and somatic distress, reflecting embodied arousal and clinical-grade symptom intensity. Compared to the band below, neighborhood aspects aesthetic is more intense and concentrated but retains the same essential character. Expressions activating this band likely reflect physiological and embodied neighborhood aspects aesthetic.

Elevated Neighborhood Aspects Aesthetic

Elevated Neighborhood Aspects Aesthetic: Neighborhood aspects aesthetic is present here in a general or mixed form without a single dominant facet. Unlike the band below, where neighborhood aspects aesthetic was characterized by the somatic and physiological form, the proxy here has shifted in character. The facets that dominated at lower levels have receded. Expressions activating this band may reflect general or diffuse neighborhood aspects aesthetic.

Severe Neighborhood Aspects Aesthetic

Severe Neighborhood Aspects Aesthetic: Neighborhood aspects aesthetic is experienced here as physiological and somatic distress, reflecting embodied arousal and clinical-grade symptom intensity. Unlike the band below, where neighborhood aspects aesthetic was characterized by a general or mixed form, the proxy here has shifted in character. The facets that dominated at lower levels have receded. Expressions activating this band likely reflect physiological and embodied neighborhood aspects aesthetic.
