Oneirotonic is often used as distorted diatonic. Because distorted diatonic modal harmony and functional harmony both benefit from a recognizable major third, the following theory essentially assumes an [[A-Team]] tuning, i.e. an oneirotonic tuning with generator between 5\13 and 7\18 (or possibly an approximation of such a tuning, such as a [[neji]]). | Oneirotonic is often used as distorted diatonic.

Dylathian, Ilarnekian, Celephaïsian and Ultharian can be viewed as providing a distorted version of diatonic functional harmony. For example, in the Dylathian mode, the 4:5:9 triad on the sixth degree can sound like both "V" and "III of iv" depending on context. Basic chord progressions can move by perfect mosfourths, thirds, or major seconds: for example, 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). | |||
In a classical-like setting both the 6th scale degree (either an augmented mossixth or a perfect mossixth), and the 8th scale degree (either a minor or a major moseighth) could be treated as mutable. | In a classical-like setting both the 6th scale degree (either an augmented mossixth or a perfect mossixth), and the 8th scale degree (either a minor or a major moseighth) could be treated as mutable. |
