    The axis system is "concerned with harmonic and tonal substitution", [1] and posits a novel type of functional relationship between tones and chords.

    Though power chords are not true chords per se, as the term "chord" is generally defined as three or more different pitch classes sounded simultaneously, and a power chord contains only two (the root, the fifth, and often a doubling of the root at the octave), power chords are still expressed using a version of chord notation.
