They developed the Shasavic, Faentian, and Lisatopian constructed languages, and '''Shasavistic music theory'''.

They have created three languages, all descended from the same proto-language. The languages, called Shasavic (Safcyk), Faentian (Fēntā), and Lisatopian (Lisatopa), are described in their YouTube video [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8nxWoh4NBeE Ch.2 / Constructed Languages]. Most of their videos are narrated in Shasavic, with subtitles in English and Japanese. Lisatopian was created for language study using computers.

=== Chordonyms ===

'''Chordonyms''' (Shasavic: ''Nafchaclap'' /nəfxəkləp/) are the system for referring to chords in Shasavistic theory. Chordonyms are formed out of the '''harmononyms''' for each note, in order. Harmononyms are a solmization system based on these ratios. Harmononyms represent movement in different dimensions (excluding 1D due to octave equivalency) to create the names for notes. Harmononyms and their ratios can be explored at the web app [https://lamplight0.sakura.ne.jp/a/music/chalaxata.php?mode=%E6%A0%BC%E5%AD%90&fund=261.6255653006https://lamplight0.sakura.ne.jp/a/music/chalaxata.php?mode=%E6%A0%BC%E5%AD%90&fund=261.6255653006 Chalaxata] (UI in Japanese).

~~Here~~ are ~~some harmononyms~~ (~~Ah is the root~~)

Below are a list of dimensions, movements (exponent), and their corresponding harmonyms. For an extended list, please visit [https://lamplight0.sakura.ne.jp/a/misc/scending2hnym.php ''Formula to Harmonym''], which contains dimensions up to 21D (73/1).

Harmononyms can indicate movement in more than one dimension simultaneously. For example, [[15/8]] is 3/2 times 5/4, or Chy + Ly, so it is called Chyli. [[11/6]] is 2/3 times 11/4, or Fu + Zy, so it is called Fuzi. (Note that the final Y in "Zy" is replaced with an I, which ~~becomes silent~~.) [[6/5]] is 3/2 times 4/5, or Chy + Su, so it is called Chys. (Note that the U in "Su" is removed.)

[[11/6]] is 2/3 times 11/4, or Fu + Zy, so it is called Fuzi. (Note that the final Y in "Zy" is replaced with an I, which represents palatalization of the preceding consonant.) [[6/5]] is 3/2 times 4/5, or Chy + Su, so it is called Chys. (Note that the U in "Su" is removed.)

There exist 1D harmonyms used to represent pitches octaves away, although they aren't typically used.

This system of harmonyms can represent pitches up to a movement of ±12. To access these higher harmonyms, attach an appropriate prefix to the corresponding ±1 direction.

The root is the sign (normalized direction) and the prefix is the corresponding magnitude. For example, <math>2^{-30}/7^{-11}</math> (aka 7fꜜꜜꜜꜜꜜꜜꜜꜜꜜꜜꜜ) is <math>(4/7)^{-11} \times (2)^{-8} \cong (4/7)^{-11}</math>, so its magnitude is <b>-11</b>. Its sign is negative, so the root will be "pu" (-1). Its magnitude is 11, so the prefix will be "Nui-" (11). Therefore, the harmonym is <b>"Nuipu"</b>.

For dimensions 4 through 7, 2D harmonyms don't follow this pattern. After 7, its harmonym aligns with the general prefix-root construction.

Line 210:

A chord including Ah, Chy, and Zy would be called AhChyZy. A chord including Ah, Ly, Chy, and Chyli would be called AhChyLyChyli.

Commas are represented with their corresponding harmonym followed by -ama. The harmonyms used in comma names must use their numeric prefix form. For example, Scirvykr (Scirvy + Kru) must change to Dachykr (Dachy + Kru).

Here are some examples of comma names:

Schupama (64/63, Septimal comma)

Dachykrama (243/242, Rastma)

Trafutralimiama (875/864, Keema)

Chord diagrams do not typically indicate voicing or octave doubling of pitches.
