'''25921/25920''', the '''diarithmedia''' is a [[23-limit]] and 2.3.5.7.23-[[subgroup]] [[square superparticular]] ~~square-particular ratio~~ of about 0.067 [[cent]]s. It is the difference between [[161/160]] and [[162/161]], and between [[49/45]] and [[24/23]]2, and therefore tempering this comma out splits the syntonic comma, [[81/80]] into exact halves alongside 49/45. As a further consequence, it equates [[161/144]], the "arithmetic meantone" (being the arithmetic mean of [[9/8]] and [[10/9]]) with [[180/161]] and splits [[5/4]] in half, providing a way to use hemithirds without equating 9/8 and 10/9 together.
