lesser massma - clarification necessary because 1728/1727 can also be named massma just like 144/143 is named grossma |

It forms the difference between the [[octave]] and a stack of [[7/6]], [[13/12]] and [[19/12]], and less likely, the difference between [[19/18]] and [[96/91]], which in turn is [[8/7]] less [[13/12]] or [[16/13]] less [[7/6]]. | ||

== Temperaments == | |||
Tempering out this comma in the 19-limit leads to the rank-7 '''ramanujanismic temperament''', or in the 2.3.7.13.19 subgroup, the rank-4 '''ramanujanic temperament'''. In either case it enables the [[ramanujanismic chords]], the [[essentially tempered chord]]s in the 19- or 21-odd-limit. The basic equivalence related to all these chords can be expressed as (7/6)(13/12)(19/12)~2/1, similar to (7/5)(11/10)(13/10)~2/1 as is enabled by the [[1001/1000|sinbadma (1001/1000)]]. Futhermore, [[8/7]] is short of a stack consisting of 19/18 and 13/12, [[16/13]] short of a stack consisting of 19/18 and 7/6, and [[32/19]] short of a stack consisting of 7/6 and 13/9, all by the ramanujanisma, so that any accurate tuning of the 2.3.13.19, 2.3.7.19, or 2.3.7.13 subgroup will naturally have an accurate approximation to [[7/1|7]], [[13/1|13]], or [[19/1|19]], respectively. | |||
== Terminology == | |||
The name ''ramanujanisma'' was first proposed by [[User:Fredg999|Frédéric Gagné]] in reference to the anecdotal story of [[Wikipedia: Ramanujan|Ramanujan]] finding 1729 an interesting number. Alternative names include ''lesser massma'', proposed by [[User:Eliora|Eliora]], in reference to the number 1728 being known as the ''Maß'' in German, and ''dodecentisma'', proposed by [[User:Godtone|Godtone]], in reference to the size being close to the relative ''cent'' of ''12''edo (''dodeca'') (12 × 100 = 1200 and this comma is a low [[prime limit]] superparticular approximating 1/1200 of an octave) and in reference to 1728 being a power of 12 (''dodeca''). | |||
