Actually, this theory of harmony is largely wrong. Harmony is actually explained in my original post's link: http://sethares.engr.wisc.edu/ttss.html http://sethares.engr.wisc.edu/ttss.html Just like other fields, people actually do advance in our understanding and figure out what was wrong in the old theories. The music world has just done a very poor job of disseminating the updated understanding. That's probably because academic music institutions are too often about cultural preservation rather than about furthering our understanding.
