The gariatom is an unnoticeable comma measuring about 0.636 cents. It is the amount by which a stack of six garischismas falls short of the Pythagorean comma, or a stack of seven falls short of 64/63, the septimal comma. Edos tempering out the gariatom include 12 and 306.
The name, given by Tristan Bay in 2023, is a reference to both Kirnberger's atom due to its structure and the garischisma due to it being a no-fives 7-limit interval.
As one may expect, the numerator and denominator of this interval are enormous (51 digits each). The full expanded fraction is 748563579464202482532205129083896013730003059949329/748288838313422294120286634350736906063837462003712.
