Preprint proposes a new framework reconceptualizing atmospheric pressure impact on symptoms, suggesting further research is needed.
I've uploaded a new preprint: *Atmospheric Pressure as a Continuous Mechanical Load: The Body Surface Pressure Framework for Weather-Related Symptom Variability*. This paper proposes BSP Theory, a physical framework that reconceptualizes atmospheric pressure as a continuous mechanical load acting on the body surface — analogous in its constancy to gravitational force. It identifies three structural inadequacies in the dominant tissue expansion hypothesis, develops a formal model with individual susceptibility dimensions, and generates testable predictions derivable from existing epidemiological datasets.
