An '''enemy''' is defined here as a note separated from the starting note by an interval that causes intense discordance, or else, does not easily connect the two notes through LCJI or through delta rational relationships. It should be noted that perfect dissonances are always enemies, but imperfect dissonances sometimes also meet this criteron. Furthermore, some notes can be called "''frienemies''" since they meet the definition of an enemy only part of the time. | An '''enemy''' is defined here as a note separated from the starting note by an interval that causes intense discordance, or else, does not easily connect the two notes through LCJI or through delta rational relationships.

The phenomenon of '''crowding''' is a major source of dissonance, specifically, it results when an interval separating two notes is either too small or too close to an octave-reduplication of the starting note. Perhaps the most common examples of intervals that cause this are [[9/8]] and [[15/8]], though intervals such as [[ | The phenomenon of '''crowding''' is a major source of dissonance, specifically, it results when an interval separating two notes is either too small or too close to an octave-reduplication of the starting note. Perhaps the most common examples of intervals that cause this are [[9/8]] and [[15/8]], though intervals such as [[17/15]] are also known to cause crowding. It should be noted that crowding is sometimes deliberately exploited as a dissonance that requires resolution. | ||
