-The `darkCurve` exponent (default `0.5`) expands small light-theme deltas near white into larger usable deltas in dark mode. This preserves subtle surface hierarchy (e.g. L=97 vs L=95) that would otherwise collapse to near-identical dark values. Set `darkCurve: 1` for linear (legacy) behavior.
+The `darkCurve` parameter (default `0.5`, range 0–1) controls how much the dark-mode inversion expands lightness deltas. Lower values produce stronger expansion; `1` gives linear (legacy) behavior. Unlike a power curve, the Möbius transformation provides **proportional expansion** — small and large deltas are scaled by similar ratios, preserving the visual hierarchy of the light theme.
 
 **`fixed`** — mapped without inversion (not affected by `darkCurve`):
