Жiжos
Жiжo is an esoteric programming langed based on tritriadic scales with seven tones/. It uses Alexandrion to generate a Kontakion, diatonic tone-intervals as opcodes and DMT (dominant mediant over arbitrary tonic.)
Archictecture
| Dominant | Mediant | Tonic |
|---|---|---|
| I | 0 | 0 < D < 400 |
| II | ±D | 400 < D < 600 |
| III | ±2D | 600 < D < 800 |
| IV | +3D | 800 < D < 1200 |
Diatonics
A diatonic scale can be represented as \/ or /\. A Diatonic is /\ and A sharp is \/. To execute a program a chord and opcodes are defined, and a diatonic tablature is fed into the state-machine. A group of seven /\ represents a complete octave.
Example
The following example ill intonate a sequence in whole tonic intervals from A1 to A2.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
Given some configuration it is a truth-machine.
2-dimensionals
A program also can be fed in parallel as 2-dimensional code.

This program is an example of a no-op.
Vertmond notations
A parallel string of inverted Diatones can be converted to Vertmonds

This program is also generally a no-op.
