The '''phaotic comma''', or '''phaotisma''' ~~(from Ancient Greek ''pháos'' 'light')~~, is an [[unnoticeable comma|unnoticeable]] [[13-limit]] ([[2.3.5.13 subgroup]]) comma with the ratio '''256000/255879''', and a size of approximately 0.82{{cent}}. It separates a stack of two [[81/80|syntonic commas]] from [[40/39]], or three [[27/20]] acute fourths from [[16/13]] (up an octave). It factors into {{nowrap|([[4096/4095]])([[4375/4374]])}} or {{nowrap|([[6656/6561]])([[507/500]])<sup>−1</sup>}}.
