Short explanation is presented in the output itself:
  Scores for whole/helix/sheet/loop are *scaled independently;*
  therefore, the *values are not related in a simple manner.*

Slightly longer explanation can be found in the paper (
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.str.2020.08.005), STAR Methods section:
