Line 77:

This is a term that I'm coining to describe certain patterns or outliers within a series of chords or a scale(s) based off of their linear tones.

~~For example, here~~'s [[:File:Erv Wilson's Fibonnaci Progression.png|an example progression using a Fibonnaci sequence from Erv Wilson's letter to McLaren]]. We can look at the linear tones of these chords and see whether we can notice anything interesting:

=== Chord Progressions ===

Here's [[:File:Erv Wilson's Fibonnaci Progression.png|an example progression using a Fibonnaci sequence from Erv Wilson's letter to McLaren]]. We can look at the linear tones of these chords and see whether we can notice anything interesting:

!1st chord

Although its hard to figure out how to represent harmonal limits, I think the best way to do it is to have ([lowest number of unique notes in a chord]-[highest]) on the denominator and have ([lowest linear tone]-[highest]) on the denominator. In this case, it would look like (8-10)/(3-4), which if we were to translate this into a proper number it would equal 2.

=== Singular Chords ===

When it comes to just one chord, though, it'd be best to rely on which note most of the linear tones are found. For example, 9:11:13 in the last headliner had most of its linear tones occur on 9, so since 3 linear tones appeared on 9, we can say that the harmonal limit is 3.
