One of the obvious applications of the two governing rules listed above is that chords built with wolf fifths must have roots located three or more steps away from the Tonic along the Circle of Fifths, and that when two notes within a given Diatonic system are separated by a wolf fifth, they both must likewise be located two or more steps away from the Tonic along the Circle of Fifths. This in turn gives rise to a series of restrictions on chord progressions. | One of the obvious applications of the two governing rules listed above is that chords built with wolf fifths must have roots located three or more steps away from the Tonic along the Circle of Fifths, and that when two notes within a given Diatonic system are separated by a wolf fifth, they both must likewise be located two or more steps away from the Tonic along the Circle of Fifths.

'''Whole Tone Progression''' - This rule has several different facets. In Bass-Up tonality, a given chord with a third located at 5/4 above the root cannot be followed up by a second chord with a third located at 6/5 above the root if the second chord's root is at 9/8 above the first chord's root | '''Whole Tone Progression''' - This rule has several different facets.

Conversely, in Treble-Down tonality, a given chord with a third located at 5/4 below the root cannot be followed up by a second chord with a third located at 6/5 below the root if the second chord's root is at 9/8 below the first chord's root. | ||
