The significance of dyadic chords and of the paradigm where all interval pairs are examined in the chord has the psychoacoustic basis of timbral fusion and emergence of the [[virtual fundamental]]. In the above examples, it can be shown that the lower harmonics of each note in the first chord blends better than in the second. Meanwhile, the virtual fundamental of the first chord appears 5/1 below the bass, whereas that of the second appears much lower, at 35/1 below the bass as the denominators "fight" each other. For these reasons we tend to find the first chord more consonant than the second. | The significance of dyadic chords and of the paradigm where all interval pairs are examined in the chord has the psychoacoustic basis of timbral fusion and emergence of the [[virtual fundamental]].

In [[regular temperament theory]], we may speak of a just or tempered dyadic chord. By a ''just'' dyadic chord is meant a chord in just intonation which is dyadic, so that each of its notes in relation to the lowest note is a rational number belonging to the set of consonances, and moreover each interval between the notes belongs to the set of consonances. An ''essentially just'' dyadic chord is a chord which is considered to be an approximation of a just dyadic chord, such that each of its intervals is considered to be an approximation of the corresponding interval in the just dyadic chord. So, for instance, [[4:5:6|1 – 5/4 – 3/2]] is a just dyadic chord when the consonance set is the [[5-odd-limit]] diamond with [[octave equivalence]], and 0 – 10 – 18 in 31edo with consonance set {8, 10, 13, 18, 21, 23, 31} modulo 31 is an essentially just dyadic chord approximating 1 – 5/4 – 3/2. | In [[regular temperament theory]], we may speak of a just or tempered dyadic chord.
