The comma derives from the resemblance of a perfect power of 6, 7776, to a decimal repdigit number 7777. It is the difference between a stack of five [[6/1]]'s and 7, 11, and 101 harmonics stacked, or when octave-reduced, between 7/4, 11/8, and 101/64 and the Pythagorean major seventh, [[243/128]]. It is also the difference between 404/243 and 128/77. | The comma derives from the resemblance of a perfect power of 6, 7776, to a decimal repdigit number 7777.
