The significance of dyadic chords and of the paradigm where all interval pairs are examined in the chord has the psychoacoustic basis of timbral fusion and emergence of the [[virtual fundamental]]. In the above examples, it can be shown that the lower harmonics of each note in the first chord blends better than in the second. Meanwhile, the virtual fundamental of the first chord appears 5/1 below the bass, whereas that of the second appears much lower, at 35/1 below the bass as the denominators "fight" each other. For these reasons we tend to find the first chord more consonant than the second.

== Types of dyadic chords ==
== Essentially tempered dyadic chord ==
In [[regular temperament theory]], we may speak of a just or tempered dyadic chord. By a ''just'' dyadic chord is meant a chord in just intonation which is dyadic, so that each of its notes in relation to the lowest note is a rational number belonging to the set of consonances, and moreover each interval between the notes belongs to the set of consonances. An ''essentially just'' dyadic chord is a chord which is considered to be an approximation of a just dyadic chord, such that each of its intervals is considered to be an approximation of the corresponding interval in the just dyadic chord. So, for instance, [[4:5:6|1 – 5/4 – 3/2]] is a just dyadic chord when the consonance set is the [[5-odd-limit]] diamond with [[octave equivalence]], and 0 – 10 – 18 in 31edo with consonance set {8, 10, 13, 18, 21, 23, 31} modulo 31 is an essentially just dyadic chord approximating 1 – 5/4 – 3/2.

== Innate comma chord ==
== Innate comma chord ==
An '''innate comma chord''', proposed by [[Kite Giedraitis]], is the type of chord that cannot be mapped to just intonation in a given prime limit and odd limit. However, instead of specifying the targeted JI ratios as in an [[#Essentially_tempered_dyadic_chord|essentially tempered chord]], an innate comma chord describes only the general chord shape: the [[mapped interval]] representations or the [[interval span|sizes]] of its constituent intervals. For example, the [[augmented triad]] in 5-limit JI is an innate comma chord below the 25-odd-limit, because it is impossible to tune all three major thirds (in the four-note chord doubling the root up an octave) to [[5/4]] or any other 5-limit interval with odd limit below 25: the innate comma here is 128/125 (41¢). In practice, it might be sung or played justly but with a large odd limit (containing [[wolf interval]]s): for example, 1–5/4–8/5–2, or 1–5/4–25/16–2 (or even 1–5/4–25/16–125/64). Or it might be tempered, e.g. in 12edo as 0¢–400¢–800¢–1200¢. In 7-limit JI, one of the major thirds can be tuned to 9/7, reducing the innate comma to 225/224 (only 8¢). This comma can be distributed among the three thirds, tempering each by only a few cents, which is usually close enough to be acceptable. In 11-limit JI, the augmented chord is not an innate comma chord, because it can be tuned justly as 7:9:11:14, a low enough odd limit to "ring". (However, it is debatable whether this chord qualifies as an augmented triad, because the middle [[11/9]] interval is a neutral third rather than a major third.)
