Applying "dot up" or "dot down" to a chord raises or lowers the 3rd, and also the 6th or the 7th, if present. Thus "C dot down nine" is the usual C9 chord with the 3rd and 7th lowered: C.v9 = C Ev G Bbv D. A "dot mid" chord has a neutral 3rd and a neutral 6th/7th. The rationale for this rule is that a chord often has a note a perfect fourth or fifth above the 3rd. Furthermore, in many EDOs, upfifths, downfifths, upfourths and downfourths will all be quite dissonant and rarely used in chords. Thus if the 3rd is upped or downed, the 6th or 7th likely would be too. However the 9th likely wouldn't, because that would create an upfifth or a downfifth with the 5th. | Applying "dot up" or "dot down" to a chord raises or lowers the 3rd, and also the 6th or the 7th, if present.
