The Principle of The Ninth:
The begining of a new pattern through dissonance!
An accomplished practitioner will, through blending, adhering, redirecting smoothly and quickly neutralize the most violent of attacks and through the principle of the 9th begin a new pattern. Effectively ending the combat and bringing it to resolution.
In music or music theory a ninth is the note nine scale degrees from the root of chord (counting the root itself) and also the interval between the root and the ninth.
In tonal music of common practice, the interval of a ninth is heard as a dissonance. A ninth is a compound second, but the ninth is considered less dissonant than the second.
A ninth chord is a chord with a ninth, and as an extended chord typically includes the seventh along with the basic triad structure. Thus, a Cmaj9 consists of C E G B and D. When the symbol "9" is not preceded by the word "major" or "maj", the implied seventh is a minor seventh -- e.g. a C9 consists of C E G Bb and D.
