== Pseudo-diatonic theory ==

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]]). The reader should experiment and see how well these ideas work in other oneirotonic tunings.
