Theory 66/Shivering/Ratio lens

Shivering Rate Is Loss Against Insulation

The claim

Shivering intensity is set by the ratio of heat loss to insulation, so the same cold requires more shivering in wet clothing.

01Mechanism

Heat production must match loss; insulation sets how much production is needed at a given temperature.

02Prediction

Intensity should track the ratio.

03Refutation

Intensity tracking temperature would remove insulation.
