Line 22: Line 22:
The diminished fourth can work either like the diatonic diminished fourth, or (uniquely in 13edo) serve as an extra 5/4 in the scale and can be part of extra consonant chords (such as O-J-K-M, representing both 8:10:11:13 and 13:16:18:21, but it only represents 13:16:18:21 in other oneirotonic-supporting tunings such as [[31edo]]).

Basic chord progressions can move by perfect fourths or major seconds: J major-M minor-P minor-Ob major-J major (in Ilarnekian) or J major-K major-O major-M major-J major (in Dylathian)

You can also view oneirotonic as scales made of two tetrachords each spanning a 21/16 and one trichord spanning a 7/6. This will let you build 13edo "tetrachordal" scales with a similar structure that is not one of the 8 modes, with tetrachord structures similar to 12edo ones. For example:
