532400 / 531441 = ~1.001805. The comma is named after [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3949665/ PLoS Biol. 2014 Mar; 12(3): e1001805.], which is the paper ''The Ecology of Collective Behavior'' by Deborah M. Gordon. The paper discusses the emergent top-down and bottom-up behaviour of systems containing a number of individual organisms, and extensively discusses how the behaviour of the ant emerges from the anthill, yet the behaviour of the anthill emerges from the ant, in a kind of self-sustaining loop.
[[Budjarn Lambeth]] named the "anthill comma" after [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3949665/ PLoS Biol. 2014 Mar; 12(3): e1001805.] (''The Ecology of Collective Behavior'' by Deborah M. Gordon), a paper about ant colonies. This referenced the comma’s ratio: 532400 / 531441 = ~1.001805.
 
XA [[Discord]] user Neutraldown also proposed the name "tetracot schisma" for this comma, because it is in the [[schisma]] size range and is [[tempered out]] by [[tetracot]] temperament. This deliberately parallels the name of the [[tetracot kleisma]].
