Similarly to tertian harmony in diatonic and [[chain of fifths]]-based systems, a system of harmony for didacus can be constructed based on these hexatonic categories. The fundamental chord, 4:5:7:8, splits the hexatone into intervals of 2, 3, and 1 tones respectively, so that 4:5:7 is a tritone stacked atop a ditone, 5:7:8 is a wholetone stacked atop a tritone, and 7:8:10 is a ditone stacked atop a wholetone. We can then take these chords' complements to achieve the other permutations of 1, 2, and 3. Notably, other chords one may want to use, such as 8:11:14, also fit into this format; 8:11:14 is a ditone stacked atop a tritone, and in that fashion much can be obtained from creating different harmonies from inflections of hexatonic interval categories. | |||
