The scale was invented specifically to complement his earlier work on photocryogenesis. The zero point on the scale was chosen as the temperature at which a daffodil can no longer photosynthesise (approximately -14 degrees Celsius), while the high end of the scale, defined at 17, was set at the temperature at which the same daffodil begins to wither (approximately 47 degrees Celsius).
