	The concept of "ergotonic" scale theory, proposed by [[Bostjan Zupancic]], is in development. The idea came about from broadening the concepts behind the diatonic scale to come up with musical constraints that were free enough to encompass some of microtonality, but still constrained enough to allow for deeper discussion.

	'''Tonality:''' The types of character available for a degree of an ergotonic scale. These are limited only by what we can define. Here are some examples (tonality is not limited to only these, but these are common):		'''Tonality:''' The types of character available for a degree of an ergotonic scale. These are limited only by what we can define. Here are some examples (tonality is not limited to only these, but these are common):
	* '''Perfect -''' Degrees consisting of intervals of sufficiently simple enough ratios that they do not necessitate major and minor varieties. For example, perfect unison 1:1, the perfect octave 2:1, the perfect fifth 3:2, and the perfect fourth 4:3.		* '''Perfect -''' Degrees consisting of intervals of sufficiently simple enough ratios that they do not necessitate major and minor varieties. For example, perfect unison 1:1, the perfect octave 2:1, the perfect fifth 3:2, and the perfect fourth 4:3.
	* '''Major -''' Degrees, where two or more consonant options exist, consisting of sharper ratio of the options (higher in pitch). These are colloquially described as cheerful pitches. There is understanding that these pitches are more strongly associated with the ~~overtone~~ series. As an example, the Major Diatonic Scale consists of only perfect and major degrees.		* '''Major -''' Degrees, where two or more consonant options exist, consisting of sharper ratio of the options (higher in pitch).

	* '''Minor -''' Degrees, where two or more consonant options exist, consisting of the flatter of the options (lower in pitch). These are colloquially described as moody pitches.

As an example, the classical mode called the "Phrygian Mode" consists of only perfect and minor intervals.
	* '''Diminished -''' Degrees flatter than the most consonant option(s). The tones were classically regarded as depicting evil or danger.		* '''Diminished -''' Degrees flatter than the most consonant option(s). The tones were classically regarded as depicting evil or danger.
