		The term is usually used in reference to music of the late Middle Ages and Renaissance: Baroque forms such as the fugue which might be called polyphonic are usually described instead as contrapuntal.
		Also, as opposed to the species terminology of counterpoint, polyphony was generally either "pitch-against-pitch"/"point-against-point" or "sustained-pitch" in one part with melismas of varying lengths in another (van der Werf, 1997).
		In all cases the conception was likely what Margaret Bent (1999) calls "dyadic counterpoint", with each part being written generally against one other part, with all parts modified if needed in the end.

	The Therapeutic Alliance: Coupled Oscillators in Biological Synchrony - 2000 Self Psychology Conference Abstract (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Applying the principles of spontaneous organization in biological processes to the embodied behavior and experience of the analytic dyad, patients and their analysts work together in an alliance that can be organized in several different ways.
		A synchronous alliance is characterized by symmetrical experiences and behaviors of the dyadic partners, when there is a feeling of being "in step," as in empathic attunement.
		A third type of dyadic organization is incoherence, when the system is unable to achieve synchrony or anti-synchrony.

		The word "counterpoint" refers specifically to the lower voice which, in the example, is marked "Contrapunctus." This lower voice uses a range of A-a, and ends on D, being in mode 2.
		Her view is primarily "contrapuntal" wherein the harmony is dyadic (the lower two voices being the "primary pair"); my view is that the harmony is triadic, within which three-voice counterpoint (with appropriate voice-leading) occurs.
		Dyadic harmony, realized through two-voice counterpoint, is (as Bent clearly demonstrates) evinced in three voices by a two-voice progression to which an accompanying voice is added.

	Guilford Chapter Excerpt
		However, voices of counterpoint can be identified if one listens carefully, and it is these dualistic alternatives we seek next to hear.
		Dualistic approaches to closeness tend to cohere around one of two basic argumentative claims: (1) that mutual independence, difference, and negative affect facilitate relationship closeness or (2) that individuals and relationships systematically vary one to another in their requirements for mutual dependence, sameness, and positivity.
		The new parents tend to remember their marriage before the arrival of the child as more conducive to their individual well-being than it probably was in actuality, a perceptual shift that positions a couple to perceive a decline in the quality of their marriage with the arrival of the first child.

		In counterpoint to the myriad introductory texts that offer discussions of theoretical and substantive issues entertained by scholars, Principles is novel in that it encourages students to acquire the tools necessary for investigating policy issues and outcomes in world politics.
		The goal of the course is not simply to inform students of how others have studied problems in world politics; rather, the intent is to demonstrate how theories of world politics can be applied, and, in turn, to have the students engage in this process of application.
		Various factors at different levels of analysis (national, dyadic, and systemic) will be considered in an attempt to understand why nations fight.

		An antisynchronous alliance is when the partners are together but at odds, similar to music when a syncopated counterpoint plays parallel to the main melodic line.
		A third type of dyadic organization is incoherence, when the system is unable to achieve synchrony or antisynchrony.
		This can be an impasse, or it might be a phase transition, which is followed by a spontaneous reorganization into new patterns related to growth and development in the patient's self.

	MTO 2.6: Margaret Bent, Diatonic ficta
		Counterpoint, as defined in DF from Tinctoris and earlier theorists, is concerned not with lines or vague general attributes but with two-voice progressions--what we might call two-part or dyadic harmony.
		It is in respecting and reconciling melodic principles and the rules of counterpoint that ficta is necessitated; I have tried to show that ficta needs to be viewed in the context of counterpoint as a whole, and not informed just by precepts specifically labelled as ficta.
		I was exploring the implications of counterpoint, not primarily fixing up a piece for performance--perhaps I did not make this clear enough (in DF n.49), but it is clearer to me now.

		Indeed, Knoblauch’s music seems intended to flow through and around the clinician, like all good theory and poignant experience, to be heard, felt, and responded to emotionally, not to be reified and carted back to the office on Monday morning for measured implementation.
		Whereas a wide range of verbal and nonverbal modes of communication (auditory, visual, olfactory, etc.) facilitate the simultaneous and dyadic constitution of human experiencing, he privileges rhythm (Chapter 1), tone (Chapter 2), and turn-taking (Chapter 3) as the substance and medium of the resonance/dissonance process.
		This book helps reconcile the endless point and counterpoint debates about therapeutic action as Knoblauch eases us into the dynamic, often unpredictable world of the musical edge in which what is useful one moment is otherwise the next.

		However, it was clear that the patron's superior position could not be explained solely in terms of the local community; his power often derived from his position in the broader society.
		Politics is seen as a pyramid of dyadic links, with rivalries between "big men" at every level of the ascending hierarchy of power and influence.

		However, Renaissance musicians would have been highly trained in dyadic counterpoint and thus possessed this and other information necessary to read a score, "what modern notation requires [accidentals] would then have been perfectly apparent without notation to a singer versed in counterpoint." See musica ficta.
		A singer would interpret his or her part by figuring cadential formulas with other parts in mind, and when singing together musicians would avoid parallel octaves and fifths or alter their cadential parts in light of decisions by other musicians (Bent, 1998).
		Palestrina, on the other hand, came to cultivate a freely flowing style of counterpoint in a thick, rich texture within which consonance followed dissonance on a nearly beat-by-beat basis, and suspensions ruled the day (see counterpoint).

	MTO 2.7: "Mode versus Ficta" in context
		My problem with this explanation is the assumption that an essentially three-voice structure should be comprised of "two superimposed contrapuntal pairs." The describing of counterpoint as "dyadic harmony" is certainly appropriate for the earlier fifteenth century (and before), but I question its exclusive application to music of the Josquin period.
		If so, it will not be because of the rules of two-voice counterpoint, but despite them.
		Here the Tenor voice indulges in what is--by dyadic principles--a dubious piece of voice-leading: the Ab, which forms the lower note of a tritone,rises to Bb on the next chord.

		In another composition, or later in the same one, may be a cadence to D. That cadence, without notated accidentals, appears in the music to be C over E. That, however, is a minor sixth resolving to an octave, rather than a major one, which would necessitate that C be sung sharped.
		In addition to the evidence of this supposed sharp’s sometime notation, contrapuntal treatises of the Renaissance, such as that of Johannes Tinctoris, nearly all counsel resolution at cadences through the largest possible sixth, that is, the major (see dyadic counterpoint).
		It was formerly believed that such treatises were addressed to composers; now, by further examination of their Latin texts, many musicologists have concluded that they are in fact speaking to performers, both of notated and improvised polyphony.

		Thus, dyadic interactions, as extrinsically specified by the bodies involved at the level of secondness, also project a virtual level of thirdness that anticipates changes in future states respecting the interactions occurring here and now.
		And the measure of these interactions occurs through precisely the same type of causality operative in the sign, whereby it achieves indifference to the being and non-being, presently considered, of what is signified.
		There is one fundamental rule of correspondence between humans and animals on the one hand and plants on the other, this being of critical importance for life: Plants produce the oxygen all humans and animals breathe.
