272629760/272629233, the 65/19 atom, is a 19-limit (2.3.5.13.19 subgroup) unnoticeable comma. It represents the tiny interval between the pythagorean comma 312/219 and the wilsorma 65/64 lowered by the 19-schisma 513/512.
Notably, the 65/19 atom is also the amount by which the 13-comma 6656/6561 ("tetris comma") exceeds the 19/5-comma 41553/40960 (an apotome above 19/16 lowered by 5/4). Their difference is small enough that the untempered Promethian (high precision) and Herculean (ultra precision) sagittal accidental systems equate the 13-comma with the 19/5 comma: the most accurate possible representation of the 13th harmonic in JI sagittal accidentals at these precision levels (as three octaves above a P5) accrues this 0.0033 ¢ error.
