The circumserviant regions are the two main regions on either side of the Serviant proper, and there are two functions located in these regions, one of which is an actual diatonic function. Note that antitonic and paradiatonic functions falling in this region are not covered in this section. | The circumserviant regions are the two main regions on either side of the Serviant proper, and there are two functions located in these regions, one of which is an actual diatonic function.

'''Acuoserviant''' - This is a note that occurs roughly at intervals ranging from 3.5 cents beyond the 4/3 perfect fourth to 256/187 away from the Tonic in the scale's direction of construction. As typified by intervals like 27/20, Acuoserviants are dissonant intervals that often act as a sort of predominant and or as the inverses of Gravodominants, making the Acuoserviant a legitimate diatonic function in terms of | '''Acuoserviant''' - This is a note that occurs roughly at intervals ranging from 3.5 cents beyond the 4/3 perfect fourth to 256/187 away from the Tonic in the scale's direction of construction. As typified by intervals like 27/20, Acuoserviants are dissonant intervals that often act as a sort of predominant and or as the inverses of Gravodominants, making the Acuoserviant a legitimate diatonic function in terms of this analysis. Apart from this, Acuoserviants only rise to prominence in systems where what might otherwise function as a Serviant is found just beyond the sweetspot range near the standard issue 4/3. | ||
'''Gravosycophant''' - This is a note that occurs at intervals ranging from 25/18 to 7/5 away from the Tonic. Although an interval like this generally fails to truly oppose the harmonies of the Tonic, it nevertheless often runs a high risk of tonicizing either the Dominant or the Gravodominant. | '''Gravosycophant''' - This is a note that occurs at intervals ranging from 25/18 to 7/5 away from the Tonic.
