“Mirror” Harmony:SCALES:
Here we will take a brief look at the major scale modes and their “Mirror” effect via inversion. When we employ contrary motion we get the same intervals descending as we do ascending. So for example if the Lydian scale ascends T T T S the scale below descends exactly the same with TTTS.
Other way around:
The Dorian mode being “Palindromic” produces the same scale either way.
Scale extension: 13 note scale

Polytonality and Polymodality Mirror Harmony with Scale:
Each mode of the major scale has it’s mirror [modal] opposite because the whole diatonic scale system can be symmetrically inverted.
Inverted Symmetrical Reflection. The intervals are the same both in harmonisation and contrary motion.
OR:
Lydian-Locrian=Mirror pair
Ionian-Phrygian=Mirror Pair
Mixolydian-Aeolian=Mirror pair
Dorian-Dorian=Palindromic [Produces the same scale either way].
Major scale mirrors
Polymodality modal mirrors
Hungarian Minor Polytonal mirrors
Polytonality exotic scales
Polymodality Modes in contrary motion
NEGATIVE HARMONY
Through inversion we find the opposite of the C Major Scale
Here we see the opposites in the chords with Minor Reflecting Major and Major reflecting Minor. Diminished stays the same though.
