Tonality Science 

The scientific study of the tones individuals use to express a word.
Carlos was listening to Grand Funk Railroad play "The Loco-Motion" and was amazed by the singer's adroit use of tonality to each time he expressed a word or a few of them in succession convey a message or messages which were quite a little different, complimented, or reinforced the words he sang. He realized tonality was but has not been raised to the level of a science, and coined the term Tonality Science to go in that direction.

deceptive tonality 

Telling a lie in tonality that makes the lie more believable, and kills any doubts.
Some people use a deceptive tonality to reinforce a lie they are telling. For example, they will answer, “No,” but in a tonality that says it would be unthinkable for that person to have said or done what they are saying they did not say or do, and they may even intimidate the listener so he will feel stupid if he ever doubted or dared to question their statement.
