'''Antipodism''' - Notes that are either opposite in pitch hue or nearly so due to being approximately half an octave away from the starting point are harmonically opposed to the starting point. Non-tonic notes related through this process tend to have the opposite function relative to the Tonic. For the notes related to the Tonic by this process, see Antitonic below. | '''Antipodism''' - Notes that are either opposite in pitch hue or nearly so due to being approximately half an octave away from the starting point are harmonically opposed to the starting point.

'''Preparation''' - Notes that "prepare the way" for either a Dominant or a Serviant through any of the above operations, or through some other mechanism, relate to said notes by this process. Functions which have this kind of role relative are denoted with a "pre-" prefix here. | '''Preparation''' - Notes that "prepare the way" for either a Dominant or a Serviant through any of the above operations, or through some other mechanism, relate to said notes by this process.

'''Detempering''' - When the comma or subchroma that separates a note from one of the three primary functions is not tempered out, it results in the appearance of notes with either similar functions to the Dominant or Serviant, or, in the case of this function being applied to the Tonic, a Nontonic function similar to one of the Chromatic functions. Often, though not always, these notes fall within the uncanny valleys of the three primary functions. | '''Detempering''' - When the comma or subchroma that separates a note from one of the three primary functions is not tempered out, it results in the appearance of notes with either similar functions to the Dominant or Serviant, or, in the case of this function being applied to the Tonic, a Nontonic function similar to one of the Chromatic functions.
