'''1029/1024''', the '''gamelisma''', is a [[7-limit]] (also 2.3.7 subgroup) [[small comma]] measuring about 8.4 cents. It is the amount by which a stack of three [[8/7]]s falls short of [[3/2]]. Tempering out this comma for the 2.3.7 subgroup leads to [[slendric]] temperament. In addition to the perfect fifth being split into three equal parts, the [[256/243|Pythagorean limma (256/243)]] is also split into three in the same way, one for [[64/63]]~[[49/48]] and two for [[28/27]]. It therefore provides the little interval known as [[quark]].
'''1029/1024''', the '''slendric comma''' or '''gamelisma''', is a [[small comma|small]] [[7-limit]] (also 2.3.7-[[subgroup]]) [[comma]] measuring about 8.4 [[cent]]s. It is the amount by which a stack of three [[8/7]]'s falls short of [[3/2]], and the ratio between S7 = [[49/48]] and S8 = [[64/63]], which gives it the [[S-expression]] of S7/S8, making it an ultraparticular comma.
 
== Commatic relations ==
This comma factorizes into [[superparticular]]s as:
* [[217/216]] × [[3969/3968]] (subgroup: [[31-limit|2.3.7.31]])
* [[225/224]] × [[2401/2400]] (subgroup: [[7-limit|2.3.5.7]])
* [[273/272]] × [[833/832]] (subgroup: [[17-limit|2.3.7.13.17]])
* [[343/342]] × [[513/512]] (subgroup: [[19-limit|2.3.7.19]])
* [[385/384]] × [[441/440]] (subgroup: [[11-limit|2.3.5.7.11]]).
 
Tempering out these constituent commas adds new intervals (outside of the 2.3.7 subgroup) to the chain of 8/7s while doing minimal additional damage to 2.3.7 itself.


== Temperaments ==
== Temperaments ==
Tempering out this comma alone in the 7-limit leads to the rank-3 [[gamelismic]] temperament, or in the 2.3.7 [[subgroup]], the rank-2 [[slendric]] temperament. Either case, it enables the [[slendric pentad]]. See [[Gamelismic family]] for the rank-3 family where it is tempered out. See [[Gamelismic clan]] for the rank-2 clan where it is tempered out.  
Tempering out this comma alone in the [[2.3.7 subgroup]] leads to the rank-2 [[slendric]] temperament, or in the full 7-limit, the rank-3 [[gamelismic]] temperament. In either case, it enables the [[slendric pentad]], and the perfect fifth is split into three equal parts, one for 8/7 and two for [[21/16]]. In addition, the [[256/243|Pythagorean limma (256/243)]] is also split into three, one for 64/63[[~]]49/48 and two for [[28/27]]. It therefore provides the little interval known as a [[quark]].

This comma was known as the ''gamelan residue'' no later than May 2001. It was allegedly named by [[Adriaan Fokker]]<ref>[https://yahootuninggroupsultimatebackup.github.io/tuning/topicId_22907.html Yahoo! Tuning Group| ''Re: "Miracle Scale" -- comparing notes on an exciting week'']</ref>.

It was allegedly named by [[Adriaan Fokker]]<ref>[https://yahootuninggroupsultimatebackup.github.io/tuning/topicId_22907.html Yahoo! Tuning Group| ''Re: "Miracle Scale" -- comparing notes on an exciting week'']</ref>. The name ''gamelisma'', a contracted form of ''gamelan residue'', appeared somewhat later.
 
It may also be called the ''slendrisma'' or ''gamelic comma'', as systematic derivations of ''slendric comma'' and ''gamelisma'', respectively.
