and I'm seeing two kinds of {subversion} here

Relative scales {G Ionian... A Dorian; etc

&

parallel scales

{G Ionian... G Dorian; etc

me thinks the latter is more directly "subversive"

in that the tonal center is the same; but the intervals in relation to it are changed

it's interesting to me that the amount of deviation kind bounces back and fourth through the modes

sort of like the circle of fourths/fifths bounces back and fourth

Ionian, Mixolydian (in terms of degree of deviation from Ionian: just a flatted 7)

oh wait that IS a fifth

(lol)
