In effect, shortening or lengthening the fork leg.
screw the adjuster in - fork leg internally is shorter, therefore whole fork leg extends further out of the lower leg. And vice versa.
The resistance to compression of a spring does NOT change with how far it is compressed.

idunno man... according to your theory there would be no benefit to setting the sag then. I just set my sag by increasing my preload. This in fact has increased the rigidity of my ride and made it less fluffy. As per your theory, adjusting sag would do nothing for the ride. Setting the preload must have done something to the springs...
