Hello, I'd like to add some 0.5 cents experiment...

  Symmetric chords has as much tones as it has notes, diminished chords, 
has four fundamentals, also a minor seven chord might be relative with 
three major scales, and we have the choice between different chords with 
the same bunch of notes.
eg: A C E G is both Am7, and C6 (C E G A), or FM7 (F A C E G) or G13 (G 
B D F A C E)... This is what you are explaining later:

  Hardness of understanding increases when window size diminishes, like 
a blues we could play with only one scale with a little understanding, 
or all scales with applying knowledge of harmony all along the twelve 
bars structure.

  Dominant chords can contain all the notes that aren't into the 
fundamental chord, so we know by experience that the moment after this 
dissonant ambiance, the next sound will be different but nearly the one 
we've heard before,.
  From fundamental the dominant chord contains the nearest intervals, 
the fifth and the fourth are mathematicaly the simpliest non-integer 
intervals, the seventh is the preceding frequency of the fundamental in 
tempered major scale (when 9b is used it goes more complicated...).

  The fundamental appear in harmony once we know an amount of 
informations determinded by edges expressed with rythm.
  Following the dominant ==> fundamental motion explained just before, 
odd beats would contain fundamentals and even beats would contain dominants.
