semisuper comma
The vishnuzma or semisuper comma (ratio: 6115295232/6103515625, monzo: [23 6 -14⟩) of 3.338 cents, is the amount by which seven classical chromatic semitones fall short of a just perfect fourth and also by which fourteen classical major thirds miss the pythagorean augmented fourth; in other words the interval (4/3)/(25/24)7.
Temperaments
Tempering out this comma leads to temperaments of the vishnuzmic family.
Etymology
This comma was named by Gene Ward Smith in 2002 as the semisuper comma[1]. It is yet to be found out how and why the later name vishnuzma was added.
