Advanced Tones
Emotional Hybrids
Edge States
In RESOL, Tone = emotional vibration
Every Chord starts with a Tone—so the more emotionally precise your tones, the more refined your language becomes.
The Core Tones (T1–T8) gave us the base spectrum.
Now we unlock composite and liminal Tones—the emotions between emotions.
Let’s break this down into 3 evolving levels.
These are refined forms of the original 8, with sharper resonance.
| Tone Code | Name | Emotional Essence | Parent Tone |
|---|---|---|---|
| T9 | Yearning Joy | Deep happiness infused with longing | Blooming (T5) |
| T10 | Stoic Rage | Suppressed fury held in iron silence | Fierce (T1) |
| T11 | Silent Terror | Paralyzed fear without movement or sound | Hollow (T4) |
| T12 | Sacrificial Love | Willing pain in service of devotion | Binding (T6) |
| T13 | Ancestral Calm | Peace rooted in timeless memory | Still (T2) |
| T14 | Lucid Despair | Clear, conscious suffering without resistance | Fractured (T7) |
| T15 | Ecstatic Grief | Overwhelmed by beauty and loss at once | Sacred (T8) |
These Tones sharpen the emotional blade.
They are used for poetry, prophecy, deep work.
These are interwoven Tones—used when a feeling is two truths at once.
Each hybrid uses a Tone Blend Formula:
[T# + T#] → Hybrid Tone
| Blend | Hybrid Tone Name | Use/Feel |
|---|---|---|
| [T1 + T5] | Radiant Fury | Love erupting as protection |
| [T2 + T4] | Frozen Ache | Grief in silence |
| [T3 + T7] | Chaotic Curiosity | Wanting to understand what breaks you |
| [T6 + T8] | Holy Devotion | Grounded awe and reverence |
| [T1 + T2] | Quiet Defiance | Unshouting resistance |
| [T5 + T4] | Joyful Melancholy | Missing something beautiful |
Hybrid Tones unlock precision:
For those moments when regular emotions fall short.
These are the strange, unstable, or sacred feelings—hard to hold, but powerful.
They often live between logic and emotion.
Think: dreams, breakdowns, spiritual downloads.
| Edge Tone Name | Feel | Use In RESOL |
|---|---|---|
| Unreality | Feeling detached from reality—dissociative or dreamlike | Rare, poetic |
| Becoming | The sense of shifting into something new | Initiation |
| Cracking | The moment before a breakdown or breakthrough | Tension-ridden Chords |
| Reverberation | An emotion echoing after the moment has passed | Memory work |
| Threshold | Feeling on the edge of a massive change | Ritual, decision-making |
| Invocation | Calling something inward—not emotion, but force | Spellcasting Chords |
These Tones are used with caution and reverence.
Often accompanied by slow or spiral Pulses to mirror the inner movement.
