The '''immunity comma''' ('''1638400/1594323''' = {{monzo| 16 -13 2 }}) is a 5-limit [[medium comma]] of about 47.2 [[cent]]s. [[Tempering out]] this comma leads to the [[immunity family]] of temperaments.
The '''immunity comma''' ({{monzo|legend=1| 16 -13 2 }}, [[ratio]]: 1638400/1594323) is a [[Medium comma|medium]] [[5-limit]] [[comma]] of about 47.2 [[cent]]s. It is the difference between the [[256/243|Pythagorean diatonic semitone (256/243)]] and a stack of two [[syntonic comma]]s, or between a [[25/24|diptolemaic chromatic semitone (25/24)]] and a [[Pythagorean comma]].
 
== Temperaments ==
[[Tempering out]] this comma leads to the [[immunity family]] of temperaments. These temperaments offer [[interseptimal interval|hemifourths and hemitwelfths]] as a result of dividing the diatonic semitone in equal halves.
