When the 11th harmonic is selected as a numerary nexus to relate other harmonics against, the resultant collection of pitches together forms the '''undecimal primodality'''. The undecimal [[primodality]] is a gorgeous and flexible family of intervals. It contains possibility of bright diatonic gestures, a rich diversity of neutrals, color opposite qualities, and key super intervals. It's initial genesis step size is 150.6 cents. | When the 11th harmonic is selected as a [[numerary nexus]] to relate other harmonics against, the resultant collection of pitches together forms the '''undecimal primodality'''.

Undecimal also grants "opposite" color intervals in the form of second octave intervals that go flat relative to key interval areas rather than uniformly sharp like the majority of Undecimal. These "relatively flatter" intervals can be seen in 41/22 at 1077.7 cents as a relatively darker maj7, 29/22 at 478 cents as a subfourth relative to the 417 cent 14/11. These can be combined with the "prime fifths" from the first octave to generate startling combinations which push, pull, and subvert expectation like 22:28:34:41:52:58. | Undecimal also grants "opposite" color intervals in the form of second octave intervals that go flat relative to key interval areas rather than uniformly sharp like the majority of Undecimal.

Lastly, | Lastly, the gorgeous Zalzalian neutral third, 27/22 at ~354.5 cents, shows up in the second octave. This can be combined with the rich diversity of neutrals from the first octave to form a strong neutral base. | ||
