D0 Styles of looping

D0-1 deuterochrony (from deutero- secondary)
-   in constrast with polychronic, a small number of loops (the Henry Kaiser approach).(deuterochrony,deuterochronic,deuterochronous,deuterochronal,deuterochronicity,deuterochronically,deuterochronouslydeuterochronally)
D0-2 polychrony (from poly- many)
-   using many loops (time lag accumulation feedback)(polychrony,polychronic,polychronous,polychronal,polychronicity,polychronically,polychronouslypolychronally)
D0-3 myriochrony (from myrio- very many)
-   very many loops, up to the point of saturation(myriochrony,myriochronic,myriochronous,myriochronal,myriochronicity,myriochronically,myriochronouslymyriochronally)

D1 Loop and performance/composition construction styles/approaches

D1-1 plectrochrony (from plectro- woven)
-   performance where different loops make up a pattern that is not apparent from one loop (common Fripp trope)(plectrochrony,plectrochronic,plectrochronous,plectrochronal,plectrochronicity,plectrochronically,plectrochronouslyplectrochronally)
D1-2 clastochrony (from clasto- disrupt)
-   broken pattern lopoing compare with clinochronic (making use of subchronous elements)(clastochrony,clastochronic,clastochronous,clastochronal,clastochronicity,clastochronically,clastochronouslyclastochronally)
D1-3 eirenochrony (from eireno- peaceful)
-   midway between clino- and clasto- aiming for slow development but not droning(eirenochrony,eirenochronic,eirenochronous,eirenochronal,eirenochronicity,eirenochronically,eirenochronouslyeirenochronally)
D1-4 scalenochrony (from scaleno- uneven)
-   performance where the eirenochronic is deliberately or unintentionally avoided(scalenochrony,scalenochronic,scalenochronous,scalenochronal,scalenochronicity,scalenochronically,scalenochronouslyscalenochronally)
D1-5 stalachrony (from stala- trickling)
-   sparse performance where irregularity may pass, but is a dominant feature(stalachrony,stalachronic,stalachronous,stalachronal,stalachronicity,stalachronically,stalachronouslystalachronally)
D1-6 cyclochrony (from cyclo- circle)
-   drone looping, including performance against a non-looped drone(cyclochrony,cyclochronic,cyclochronous,cyclochronal,cyclochronicity,cyclochronically,cyclochronouslycyclochronally)

D2 Irregular looping modes

D2-1 epichrony (from epi- away from)

D2-2 clinochrony (from clino- bed)
-   the accumulation of looping material against which epichronic performance can occur/.the moment where sufficient accumulation of looping material has occurred against which epichronic performance can occur(clinochrony,clinochronic,clinochronous,clinochronal,clinochronicity,clinochronically,clinochronouslyclinochronally)
D2-3 cladochrony (from clado- branch)
-   branching loops, the practice of adding and removing loops in realtime as part of performance(cladochrony,cladochronic,cladochronous,cladochronal,cladochronicity,cladochronically,cladochronouslycladochronally)
D2-4 rhizochrony (from rhizo- root)
-   anchor loop, to which cladochronic performance returns(rhizochrony,rhizochronic,rhizochronous,rhizochronal,rhizochronicity,rhizochronically,rhizochronouslyrhizochronally)
