The Scale is Dead, Long Live the Fifth
Thus do we choose to announce the reign of a new

Analysis
Fifths provide the chord frames, generate the chords by division,
inserting the thirds (i.e. mediants) within the frames
and determining the chord's mode (i.e. major or minor),
as well as generate the scales by multiplication,
through the choice of each second fifth.
