The '''chalmersia'''<ref>As in [http://www.huygens-fokker.org/docs/intervals.html Huygens-Fokker Foundation's interval list]. There are other similar names that this comma sometimes goes by, including ''chalmersma'', ''chalmersima'', ''chalmerisma'' and ''chalmersisma'', though at least some of these are mistakes.</ref> is an [[unnoticeable comma|unnoticeable]] [[13-limit]] comma with a ratio of '''123201/123200''' and a value of approximately 0.014 [[cent]]s. Named in honor of [[John H. Chalmers]], it is the smallest 13-limit [[superparticular]] comma. Tempering it out equates [[351/350]] and [[352/351]], thus splitting [[176/175]] into two, and equates 385/351 and 351/320, thus splitting [[77/64]] into two these are features highly characteristic of '''chalmers temperaments'''. In addition, it equates a stack consisting of a [[729/512]] tritone plus a [[169/128]] grave fourth with a stack consisting of a [[25/16]] augmented fifth plus a [[77/64]] minor third.  
The '''chalmersia''' is an [[unnoticeable comma|unnoticeable]] [[13-limit]] comma with a ratio of '''123201/123200''' and a size of approximately 0.014{{cent}}. It is the smallest 13-limit [[superparticular]] comma. Tempering it out equates [[351/350]] and [[352/351]], thus splitting [[176/175]] into two, and equates 385/351 and 351/320, thus splitting [[77/64]] into two: these are properties characteristic of '''chalmersic temperaments'''. In addition, it equates a stack consisting of a [[729/512]] tritone plus a [[169/128]] grave fourth with a stack consisting of a [[25/16]] augmented fifth plus a [[77/64]] minor third; it splits [[81/77]] into two [[40/39]]s; and it splits the pythagorean limma [[256/243]] into [[26/25]] and [[78/77]].
 
It factors into the two smallest 17-limit superparticular ratios: 123201/123200 = (194481/194480)(336141/336140).
 
== Temperaments ==
Tempering out the comma in the full 13-limit gives the rank-5 '''chalmersic temperament'''.

== Etymology ==
The chalmersia was named by [[Gene Ward Smith]] in 2003 after [[John Chalmers]]<ref>[https://yahootuninggroupsultimatebackup.github.io/tuning-math/topicId_7316.html Yahoo! Tuning Group | ''Nameable 13-limit'']</ref>.
 
:''The remarkable 123201/123200 might be named the chalmersia, since John Chalmers is presumably the first to see it.''
—Gene Ward Smith
