'''460/459''', the '''scanisma''' or '''vicewolf comma''', is a [[23-limit]] [[Superparticular ratio|superparticular comma]] of about 3.77 [[cent]]s. It forms the difference between [[23/17]] (vicesimotertial wolf fourth) and [[27/20]] (classical wolf fourth). ~~By tempering~~ it out ~~is defined~~ the '''scanismic temperament''', which enables the [[scanismic chords]].

'''460/459''', the '''scanisma''' or '''vicewolf comma''', is a [[23-limit]] [[Superparticular ratio|superparticular comma]] of about 3.77 [[cent]]s. It forms the difference between [[23/17]] (vicesimotertial wolf fourth) and [[27/20]] (classical wolf fourth). It is also the amount by which a stack of [[23/18]] (the vicesimoterial major third) and [[20/17]] (the diatismic minor third) exceed [[3/2]] (the perfect fifth). Tempering it out defines the '''scanismic temperament''', which enables the [[scanismic chords]].

== Etymology ==

The words ''scanisma'' and ''vicewolf'' were introduced by [[User:Xenllium|Xenllium]] in 2023. The former refers to [[Wikipedia:460 Scania|460 Scania]], the asteroid, and the latter is a contraction of ''vicesimotertial wolf'' into a single word.
