The '''tridecapyth comma''' is the [[13-limit]] [[unnoticeable comma]] '''3489660928/3486784401''', which measures roughly 1.43 [[cent]]s. It is the interval which, when tempered out, not only equates [[13/8]] with a stack of twenty [[3/2]] perfect fifths octave-reduced, but also a stack of two [[Pythagorean comma]]s with the [[1053/1024]] tridecimal quartertone.
The '''tridecapyth comma''' ({{Monzo|legend=1| 28 -20 0 0 0 1 }}, [[ratio]]: 3489660928/3486784401), also described as the ''tridecaschisma'' (from "trideca-" (for 13) + "schisma"), is an [[unnoticeable comma]] in [[13-limit|13-limit just intonation]] which measures roughly 1.43 {{cent}}. It is the interval by which [[13/8]] exceeds a stack of twenty [[3/2|perfect fifths (3/2)]] octave reduced, and by which [[16/13]] falls short of a stack of four [[256/243|Pythagorean limmas (256/243)]]. It is perhaps more easily conceptualized as reaching [[13/4]] through ([[9/8]])<sup>10</sup>. In terms of commas, it is the amount by which [[1053/1024|tridecimal quartertone (1053/1024)]] is greater than a stack of two [[Pythagorean comma]]s.

Tempering out this comma in the 2.3.13 subgroup leads tridecapyth, which can be seen as a way of giving a mapping of prime 13 to any temperament with an extremely accurate tuning of its fifth (like the [[53edo]] tuning of [[schismic]]). Interestingly, the mapping is ''so'' accurate that more optimized tunings of schismic that use a flatter fifth are not accurate enough to preserve the mapping; for 118edo we get the 118f [[val]] that takes the second-best, flat mapping of prime 13, and the same is true for [[171edo]] where we get the 171f val. However, due to its small note count, [[41edo]] technically uses this mapping too, so that the val sum 41 + 53 = [[94edo]] also uses this mapping, suggesting it's of interest to flatter tunings of [[garibaldi]] with fifths tending close to pure; this corresponds to the extension of garibaldi called [[cassandra]]. If we add this mapping to 5-limit schismic instead we get [[tridecaschismic]].
