In the context of defining a tuning, the terms "tuning base," "tuning center," and "tonic" are at the center of a great deal of confusion. Much of the problem comes from not recognizing when we are making assumptions based on early indoctrination into Western classical music theory, which contemporary music theory has grown past. The other major source of confusion is the common use of wrong terminology that blurs the lines between meanings, which the establishment of specific terminology is supposed to prevent. These both create serious obstacles to clear understanding and communication, which in a world of diverse cultural musics and expanded tunings are worth trying to overcome.
