explain more specifically what the name is for - not just due to structural similarity of 14 5/4s against a tritone, but also the similarity and ease of confusion in decimal notation, hence the prefix "pseudo-" |

The pseudovishnuzma (ratio: 6106906624/6103515625) is a 13-limit interval which is the difference between a stack of fourteen classical major thirds (5/4) and the larger huntmic tritone (91/64).
It was named due to its similarity but nonetheless the difference from the vishnuzma, which separates a stack of fourteen 5/4's from 729/512.
The key reason, more specifically, for naming the comma "pseudovishnuzma" is that the decimal expressions of the ratios read very similarly, meaning it can be easily confused with the vishnuzma in written text. Pseudovishnusma is 6106906624/6103515625, while the vishnuzma is 6115295232/6103515625.
