The semiporwellisma (ratio: 16384/16335, monzo: [14 -3 -1 0 -2⟩) is a small 11-limit comma measuring about 5.19 cents, named for it is one of the commas tempered out in the semiporwell temperament. It is the difference between two instances of 33/32, the undecimal quartertone, and 16/15, the classical diatonic semitone. It is also the difference between the rastma and the schisma.
It factors into simpler commas as (4000/3993)⋅(5632/5625). In the full 11-limit, it is the difference between 896/891 and 385/384. In the 13-limit it factors into (2080/2079)⋅(3584/3575). In the 31-limit it factors into (496/495)⋅(1024/1023) or (961/960)⋅(1024/1023)2 and gives rise to its identity as a lopsided comma of S-expression S31⋅S322.
Temperaments
Tempering out this comma in the full 11-limit leads to the rank-4 semiporwellismic temperament (→ Rank-4 temperament #Semiporwellismic (16384/16335)), or in the 2.3.5.11 subgroup, the rank-3 semiporwellic temperament.
Tempering out both 4000/3993 and 5632/5625 leads to the rank-2 escapade temperament, which does little damage to semiporwellic.
See Semiporwellismic clan for the clan of rank-3 temperaments where it is tempered out.
Etymology
This comma was named by Flora Canou in 2021 after the semiporwell temperament, which in turn derives from porwell, the 7-limit comma shared by porcupine and orwell.
