Modally, the highest to lowest entropy scale degrees (unison = 1) are:
* 2 and 7 (equally): .99 bits
* 4 and 5 (equally): .86 bits
* 3 and 6 (equally): .59 bits
If a scale degree is high entropy it tends to be the most informative on average; the modes that have this interval as major and minor respectively are roughly a 50-50 split. This tells us that unlike in the diatonic scale, thirds and sixths are the ''least'' informative in distinguishing smitonic modes. On the other hand, seconds, fourths and sevenths are highly informative.
In orgone, these scale degrees appear in the most consonant triads and tetrads of 11edo orgone, namely 8:9:11:15, 8:9:11:14 and 16:17:22:28. Those chords are therefore crucial for Orgone[7] modal harmony.

Modal harmony

MODMOSes and chroma modification become more important. Use MODMOSes with SS = diminished mos3rd = 266.67¢. For example, rotations of LLLSLSS.

or 5L 1M 1S: LLMLLLS or LLSLLLM

Treat it as neutralized mavila antidiatonic?
