Assuming the symmetric 2121212 mode, the 1-4-7 chord is:
* 8:11:14 on degrees 1 and 6
* 8:11:15 on degrees 3, 5, and 7
* 44:56:77 (approx. 25:32:44) on degrees 2 and 4

=== Modal harmony ===
{{main|Smitonic}}
The seven modes are, from brightest to darkest:
{| class="wikitable"
|-
| Nerevarine mode
| 2212121
|-
| Vivecan mode
| 2122121
|-
| Lorkhanic mode
| 2121221
|-
| Sothic mode
| 2121212
|-
| Kagrenacan mode
| 1221212
|-
| Almalexian mode
| 1212212
|-
| Dagothic mode
| 1212122
|}

Modally, the highest to lowest [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entropy_(information_theory) entropy] scale degrees (unison = 1) are:
* 2 and 7 (equally): .99 bits
* 4 and 5 (equally): .86 bits
* 3 and 6 (equally): .59 bits
If a scale degree is high entropy it tends to be the most informative on average; the modes that have this interval as major and minor respectively are roughly a 50-50 split. This tells us that unlike in the diatonic scale, thirds and sixths are the ''least'' informative in distinguishing orgone modes. On the other hand, seconds, fourths and sevenths are highly informative, and fortunately, these scale degrees appear in the most consonant triads and tetrads of 11edo orgone, namely 8:9:11:15, 8:9:11:14 and 16:17:22:28. Those chords are therefore crucial for Orgone[7] modal harmony.
