The '''archangelic comma''' ([[monzo]]: {{monzo| 301994 -190537 }}) is the amount by which 190537 [[perfect fifth]]s fall short of 111457 [[octave]]s, in other words 2<sup>111457</sup>/(3/2)<sup>190537</sup>. This difference is inaudible at roughly 0.0001 [[cents]].

This comma was named in direct opposition to the [[satanic comma]] due to being the first [[3-limit]] comma to have a 3-2 [[telicity]] k-strength greater than 1 after it in the 3/2 convergence series, and, due to actually surpassing it in 3-2 [[telicity]] k-strength.
This comma was named by [[Aura]] in direct opposition to the [[satanic comma]] due to [[190537edo]] actually surpassing [[665edo]] in 3-2 telicity k-strength. However, it is opposite the satanic comma in other ways, such as the fact that tempering this comma results in a stretched fifth rather than a compressed fifth.

Tempering out this comma leads to the [[Archangelic family]] of temperaments. It is tempered out in [[190537edo]] and its multiples.
Tempering out this comma leads to the [[archangelic family]] of temperaments. It is tempered out in 190537edo, which is a 28-strong 3-2 telic system due to tempering this comma out.
