'''532400/531441''', the '''anthill comma''', is an [[unnoticeable comma|unnoticeable]] [[11-limit]] comma that splits the [[ptolemisma]] into two [[rastma]]s and equates a stack of two [[syntonic comma]]s with [[1331/1296]], the Alpharabian parachromatic semilimma. In addition, it can be identified as the interval separating an octave-reduced stack of two [[729/484]] Alphrabian wide fifths from a [[25/22]] ptolemismic whole tone, and, it is the sum of the [[wizardharry comma]] and the [[parimo]].

'''532400/531441''', the '''anthill comma''', is an [[unnoticeable comma|unnoticeable]] [[11-limit]] comma that splits the [[ptolemisma]] into two [[rastma]]s, equates a stack of three instances of [[88/81]] with [[32/25]], and equates a stack of two [[syntonic comma]]s with [[1331/1296]], the Alpharabian parachromatic semilimma. In addition, it can be identified as the interval separating an octave-reduced stack of two [[729/484]] Alphrabian wide fifths from a [[25/22]] ptolemismic whole tone, and, it is the sum of the [[wizardharry comma]] and the [[parimo]].

== Etymology ==

~~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]].
