Harmony as it is understood right now on this forum is a very nebulous concept.
Usually when people say "harmony" they either mean 2 things :
Harmony does mean both of those things since harmony means "how well each element fits together".
The problem is that when having a discussion with a poster here, and he uses the word "harmony", it's often hard to know what he is actually talking about. Is he talking about ratios and proportions? Is he talking about the subject having mostly >=average features? You don't know. Sometimes you can use context but context does not always make things clear.
I thus propose 2 alternative terms that more clearly communicate what is meant :

- Having mostly average or above average features, rather than like 1 insane halo with mostly below average features.

I thus propose 2 alternative terms that more clearly communicate what is meant :
- Proportions. Having good proportions means that you have mostly good ratios and proportions
- Congruity (... of good features). Having decent congruity means that most of your features are at least average, having very good congruity means that you have mostly above average features. So someone with 1 insane feature but mostly below average traits has lower congruity than someone with mostly average features and 1 decent feature.
