An '''enemy''' is defined here as a note separated from the starting note by an interval that causes intense discordance, or else, does not easily connect the two notes through LCJI or through delta-rational relationships. It should be noted that perfect dissonances are always enemies, but imperfect dissonances sometimes also meet this criterion.

Friends and enemies are basically the two ends of a spectrum of compatibility. In higher EDO systems, this spectrum comes noticeably into play, and a numerical compatibility rating along this spectrum is generally going to be helpful. Furthermore, some notes can be called '''frenemies''' since they meet the definition of either an enemy or a friend only part of the time.
