'''Sycophant''' - Named as such on account of it having a tendency to "kiss up to" and tonicize the Dominant- that is, to cause the Dominant to become a new Tonic- unless followed up by a different note such as a Subcollocant or Supercollocant, this type of Antitonic is mapped to both 3\7 and 12\24. A prototypical example of this type of Antitonic is 45/32. | '''Sycophant''' - Named as such on account of it having a tendency to "kiss up to" and tonicize the Dominant- that is, to cause the Dominant to become a new Tonic- unless followed up by a different note such as a Subcollocant or Supercollocant, this type of Antitonic is mapped to both 3\7 and 12\24.

'''Tyrant''' - If the Antitonic is mapped to both 4\7 and 12\24, it tends to contrast with the Tonic in a manner somewhat akin to that of a Dominant, but by sheer brute force and contrary harmonic nature, and indeed these brute force Dominant-esque tendencies are the source the name "Tyrant". For example, if the Tonic harmony is Minor in nature, the Antitonic harmony will be Major- or more rarely, Supermajor- in nature. Furthermore, in scales such as the Locrian scale, any type of Serviant harmony tends to resolve towards some other type of substitute for a Dominant, often bypassing this type of Antitonic, though on rare occasions, a Tyrant will act as a leading tone to the Serviant. A prototypical example of this type of Antitonic is 64/45. | '''Tyrant''' - If the Antitonic is mapped to both 4\7 and 12\24, it tends to contrast with the Tonic in a manner somewhat akin to that of a Dominant, but by sheer brute force and contrary harmonic nature, and indeed these brute force Dominant-esque tendencies are the source of the name "Tyrant".
