Axiom 4: Minimize psychoaccoustic discomfort for maximal functional harmony.

Plainspeak
Where normally music theory speaks of consonance and dissonance, KCM speaks of the discomfort brought about the tritone and the beats.   Further the Tritone is distinguished as non-beating while beats occur when notes are too close to each other directly, as in the half step, or modularly, as in the flat 9.

Show how transition from classical to jazz to rock is one of minimizing the tritone and b9 less (never maximizing, just using it more than in common period practice.
