| Interval information |
The immunity comma (monzo: [16 -13 2⟩, ratio: 1638400/1594323) is a medium 5-limit comma of about 47.2 cents. It is the difference between the Pythagorean diatonic semitone (256/243) and a stack of two syntonic commas, or between a diptolemaic chromatic semitone (25/24) and a Pythagorean comma.
Temperaments
Tempering out this comma leads to the immunity temperament, which offers hemifourths and hemitwelfths as a result of dividing the diatonic semitone in equal halves.
See Immunity family for the family of temperaments where it is tempered out.
Etymology
This comma was named by Mike Battaglia in 2011 such that the corresponding temperament is paired with amity[1][2].
Perhaps "Immunity," because it's a counterpart to Amity or something like that.
