1024/1023, the kibisma is a 31-limit superparticular comma of about 1.69 cents. It forms the difference between 32/31 and 33/32. By tempering it out is defined the kibismic temperament, which enables the kibismic chords. It is a Mersenne comma.
Etymology
The word kilobyte for this comma was suggested by Xenllium in 2023 to refer to 1024 (210) bytes but it was changed due to it having nothing to do with the logical kilobyte comma of 1024/1000 = 128/125, and as a result has nothing to do with bytes either, so kibisma was preferred as kibi is the SI prefix for unambiguously referring to 210.
