The interval of '''225/224''', the '''marvel comma''', otherwise known as the '''septimal kleisma''', is a [[7-limit]] [[superparticular]] [[comma]]. It pops up as the difference between ~~pairs of~~ 7-limit ~~ratios~~, ~~for example as (~~[[15~~/14~~]]~~)/(~~[[16/15]]~~) or (~~[[45/32]]~~)/(~~[[7/5]]). ~~Maybe most simply~~, it can be seen as the amount by which ~~{{nowrap|~~ [[~~15/~~8~~]] * [[15~~/8]] exceeds [[7/2]] }}, or ~~equivalently,~~ the amount by which {{nowrap| ~~(15/8)/(16/15) =~~ [[~~225~~/~~128~~]] }} exceeds 7/4.

The interval of '''225/224''', the '''marvel comma''', otherwise known as the '''septimal kleisma''', is a [[7-limit]] [[superparticular]] [[comma]]. It pops up as the difference between a 7-limit ratio and a 5-limit ratio. For example, it's the difference between [[16/15]] and [[15/14]], and between [[7/5]] and [[45/32]]. Moreover, it can be seen as the amount by which [[8/7]] exceeds a stack of two {{nowrap|[[16/15]]'s}}, or as the amount by which a stack of two {{nowrap|[[5/4]]'s}} exceeds [[14/9]]. It's also the difference between [[75/64]] and [[7/6]], and between [[25/24]], the classical chromatic semitone, and [[28/27]], the septimal third-tone.

~~Another~~ useful ~~relation is as the difference between~~ the [[~~25/24~~]]~~, the classical chromatic semitone, and~~ [[~~28/27~~]]~~, the septimal third-tone. Hence,~~ it ~~is also the difference between~~ [[32/~~25]] and [[9/7~~]], ~~and between~~ [[75/64]] and ~~[[7/6]]~~.

As a comma with a single power of 7 in it, it is tremendously useful in terms of bringing prime 7 into the framework of [[5-limit]] [[just intonation|JI]]; tempering it out maps [[7/4]] to the classic augmented sixth, [[225/128]] and enables all of the aforementioned equivalences.

In terms of commas, it is the difference between [[81/80]] and [[126/125]] and is tempered out alongside these two commas in [[septimal meantone]]. In the 11-limit it factors neatly into ([[385/384]])([[540/539]]), and in the 13-limit, ([[351/350]])([[625/624]]) or ([[325/324]])([[729/728]]).

-The interval of '''225/224''', the '''marvel comma''', otherwise known as the '''septimal kleisma''', is a [[7-limit]] [[superparticular]] [[comma]]. It pops up as the difference between pairs of 7-limit ratios, for example as ([[15/14]])/([[16/15]]) or ([[45/32]])/([[7/5]]). Maybe most simply, it can be seen as the amount by which {{nowrap| [[15/8]] * [[15/8]] exceeds [[7/2]] }}, or equivalently, the amount by which {{nowrap| (15/8)/(16/15) = [[225/128]] }} exceeds 7/4.
