'''2025/2024''', the '''cupcake comma''' or '''cupcakesma''' is a [[23-limit]] [[Superparticular ratio|superparticular comma]] of 0.8551 [[cent]]s. It is the amount by which a stack consisting of [[9/8]], [[15/11]] and [[30/23]] exceeds an [[octave]], and forms the difference between [[45/44]] and [[46/45]]. It merges the last two commas together by splitting the [[23/22]] small semitone in two equal parts. Tempering it out in the 2.3.5.11.23 subgroup results in the '''cupcake temperament'''. Tempering it out in the full [[23-limit]] it results in the '''cupcakesmic temperament''', which enables the [[cupcakesmic chords]].

== Etymology ==

The ~~name~~ ''fokkerisma'' ~~was named~~ by [[User:Xenllium|Xenllium]] in 2023, after [[Adriaan Fokker|Adriaan Daniël Fokker]], a Dutch physicist and musician. Fokker led a revival of interest in [[31edo|31-tone equal temperament]] (31edo), and invented the Fokker organ, a 31-tone equal-tempered organ. Rational intervals 45/44 and 46/45 were mapped to 1/31 of an octave (38.71¢, halfway between both ratios) in some EDOs of the 31n-edo family (such as 31edo and [[217edo]]). ~~''Not~~ to be ~~confused with~~ [[Semicomma|Fokker's comma]]'' (otherwise known as semicomma, 2109375/2097152, 10.06¢).

The names cupcake comma and cupcakesma refer to the connection between this comma and [[45/44]] (also known as the cake comma).

It was formerly ''fokkerisma'' by [[User:Xenllium|Xenllium]] in 2023, after [[Adriaan Fokker|Adriaan Daniël Fokker]], a Dutch physicist and musician. Fokker led a revival of interest in [[31edo|31-tone equal temperament]] (31edo), and invented the Fokker organ, a 31-tone equal-tempered organ.

This name was deemed to be confusable [[Semicomma|Fokker's comma]] (otherwise known as semicomma, 2109375/2097152, 10.06¢), so a poll was held on [[Talk:2025/2024]] to rename the comma. The names cupcake comma and cupcakesma ended up winning.
