'''Misodominant''' - This is a note that occurs roughly at intervals between 32/21 and 25/16 away from the Tonic in the scale's direction of construction. This region is characterized by intervals that don’t consistently act as either fifths or sixths, or even act as a cross between a fifth and a sixth, as well as by intervals that act as parachromatic alterations of either the Dominant or the Contramediant. Although originally named the "Varicodominant" region- the name coming from "Varicant" and "Dominant", with a linking "-o-" in place of the "-ant" of "Varicant"- the fact that intervals in this region are also generally more dissonant, leading to their avoidance in chords outside of deliberate dissonances, has lead to a name change for the region as a whole. The new name of this region comes from "miso-" and "Dominant". Chords of this type have Predominant, Preintersubiant and Preinterregnant functions, as well as Mockdominant and Precontramediant functions. | '''Misodominant''' - This is a note that occurs roughly at intervals between 32/21 and 25/16 away from the Tonic in the scale's direction of construction.

Chords of this type have Predominant, Preintersubiant and Preinterregnant functions, as well as Mockdominant and Precontramediant functions, and, perhaps very tellingly, tend to utilize Diminished Fourths instead of Major Thirds. | ||
'''Misoserviant''' - This is a note that occurs roughly at intervals between 32/25 and 21/16 away from the Tonic in the scale's direction of construction. This region is characterized by intervals that don’t consistently act as either thirds or fourths, or even act as a cross between a third and a fourth, as well as by intervals that act as parachromatic alterations of either the Mediant or the Serviant. Although originally named the "Varicodominant" region- the name coming from "Varicant" and "Serviant", with a linking "-o-" in place of the "-ant" of "Varicant"- the fact that intervals in this region are also generally more dissonant, leading to their avoidance in chords outside of deliberate dissonances, has lead to a name change for the region as a whole. The new name of this region comes from "miso-" and "Serviant". Chords of this type have Preserviant, Preintersubiant and Preinterregnant functions as well as Mockserviant and Premediant functions. | '''Misoserviant''' - This is a note that occurs roughly at intervals between 32/25 and 21/16 away from the Tonic in the scale's direction of construction.
