'''Parallelism''' - Notes located in the same primary [[tetrachord]] as either the Tonic, the Dominant, or the Serviant take on similar functions to said notes, with the caveat that functions derived from the Tonic in this fashion are still technically nontonic functions. This process is one of two that create what in traditional music theory are referred to as [[Wikipedia:Parallel and counter parallel|"''parallels''" and "''counter parallels''"]]. | '''Parallelism''' - Notes located in the same primary [[tetrachord]] as either the Tonic, the Dominant, or the Serviant take on similar functions to said notes, with the caveat that functions derived from the Tonic in this fashion are still technically nontonic functions.

'''Adjacency''' - Notes within a suitable voice leading distance from either the Dominant or Serviant tend to have the opposite function relative to the Tonic- this process even extends to the relationship between the Dominant and Serviant themselves. This process is one of two that create what in traditional music theory are referred to as "''parallels''" and "''counter parallels''", however, unlike Parallelism proper, this process can establish these kinds of relationships outside the primary tetrachord. | '''Adjacency''' - Notes within a suitable voice leading distance from either the Dominant or Serviant tend to have the opposite function relative to the Tonic- this process even extends to the relationship between the Dominant and Serviant themselves. On the other hand, notes within this same kind of distance from the Tonic often tend to have their functions colored more by their relationships to both the Dominant and Serviant. This process is one of two that create what in traditional music theory are referred to as "''parallels''" and "''counter parallels''", however, unlike Parallelism proper, this process can establish these kinds of relationships outside the primary tetrachord. | ||
'''Antipodism''' - Notes that are either opposite in tone color or nearly so due to being approximately half an octave away from the starting point are harmonically opposed to the starting point. Non-tonic notes related through this process tend to have the opposite function relative to the Tonic. For the notes related to the Tonic by this process see Antitonic below. | '''Antipodism''' - Notes that are either opposite in tone color or nearly so due to being approximately half an octave away from the starting point are harmonically opposed to the starting point.
