title: Otonality and utonality
text: Otonality and utonality are terms introduced by Harry Partch to describe chords whose pitch classes are the harmonics or subharmonics of a given fixed tone (identity), respectively. For example: ⁠1/1⁠, ⁠2/1⁠, ⁠3/1⁠,... or ⁠1/1⁠, ⁠1/2⁠, ⁠1/3⁠,.... An Otonality is that set of pitches generated by the numerical factors (...identities)...over a numerical constant in the denominator. Conversely, a Utonality is the inversion of an Otonality, a set of pitches with a numerical constant in the numerator
