Basic chord progressions can move by perfect fourths or major seconds: J major-M minor-P minor-O major-J major (in Ilarnekian) or J major-K major-O# major-M major-J major (in Dylathian)

===Scales and modal harmony===
You can also view oneirotonic as scales made of two tetrachords each spanning a 21/16 and one trichord spanning a 7/6. This will let you build 13edo "tetrachordal" scales with a similar structure that is not one of the 8 modes, with tetrachord structures similar to 12edo ones. For example:

*[2 1 1] [2 1] [1 3 1] is a kind of harmonic minor (also obtained by lowering the 7th degree of the Celephaïsian mode)
