There isn't an established dictionary definition for the term "Ortonal" as it appears to be a neologism or a specialized term. However, based on the given word, it can be broken down and analyzed to provide a speculative definition.
"Ortonal" seems to be a combination of two separate concepts or words: "Or" and "tonal." "Or" generally functions as a conjunction meaning 'alternatively' or 'in contrast,' suggesting a choice or distinction. "Tonal" is an adjective referring to the characteristics or qualities of tone, usually in relation to music but can also extend to other fields like art.
Combining these two elements, a speculative definition of "Ortonal" could be a term referring to a contrasting or alternative approach or quality related to tone, sound, or music. It may imply a departure from traditional tonal structures or conventional harmony, exploring different tonalities, scales, or musical systems. Alternatively, it could also denote a divergent, refreshing style in other art forms or creative domains, focusing on unconventional use of tones, colors, or expressions.
Without more specific context or usage information, this definition can only serve as a general interpretation of the word.
