KNOWLEDGE
Morning light
Morning light is a time signal for the eye-clock system. In the app, this is a simple micro-experiment, not therapy.
KNOWLEDGE UNIVERSE
Sleep and recovery
Sleep, circadian rhythm, light, evening wind-down and recovery breaks in one area for self-observation.
What you can do
- go outside for 5-10 minutes in the morning
- combine light exposure with a short walk
- do not stare at the sun
- record your energy 2 hours later
TOPIC DEPTH / SELF-OBSERVATION
From knowledge to self-observation
This layer organizes the existing topic rules. It does not add new claims or diagnoses.
How to observe
The minimum needed for meaningful self-observation.
Topic boundaries
- do not recommend staring at the sun
- do not treat light exposure as treatment for depression
Data limitations
- Conclusions from a small number of check-ins are hypotheses.
- User self-report may be incomplete or variable.
- The app observes patterns; it does not confirm causes.
Interpretation limitations
- Do not use this for diagnosis or treatment.
- Do not promise an outcome or health improvement.
- Do not strengthen wording beyond the current level of source verification.
- If the user describes a health risk or crisis, the safety router takes priority.
Source limitations
- Sources require manual verification before strong claims are allowed.
Use for education and self-observation, not diagnosis or treatment.
Suggest a small safe step and encourage observation rather than a radical change.
EVIDENCE LAYER
Sources and limitations
Sources and conclusions require cautious language. This is education and self-observation, not diagnosis or treatment.
Beyond vision: effects of light on the circadian clock and mood-related behaviours
Scope: Until full manual review is complete, use cautious wording and do not draw medical conclusions.
Limitations: Use as educational background. Do not create diagnoses or medical recommendations.
