'''9801/9800''', the '''kalisma''', sometimes described as ''Gauss' comma'', is an [[unnoticeable comma|unnoticeable]] [[11-limit]] [[comma]] measuring about 0.18{{cent}}. It is the smallest 11-limit [[superparticular]] interval. It can be described as the difference between [[99/70]] and its [[octave complement]] [[140/99]], between ([[35/33]])<sup>2</sup> and [[9/8]], or between ([[176/175]])<sup>2</sup> and [[2048/2025]]. | |||
In terms of superparticular commas, it is the difference between: | |||
* [[99/98]] and [[100/99]] | |||
* [[351/350]] and [[364/363]] | |||
* [[1716/1715]] and [[2080/2079]] | |||
* [[3025/3024]] and [[4375/4374]] | |||
It is also the difference between the following notable non-superparticular commas: | |||
* [[245/243]] and [[121/120]] | |||
* [[245/242]] and [[81/80]] | |||
* [[176/175]] and [[896/891]] | |||
It factors into the two smallest 13-limit superparticular commas: 9801/9800 = 10648/10647 | It also factors into the two smallest 13-limit superparticular commas: 9801/9800 = ([[10648/10647]])⋅([[123201/123200]]). | ||

Tempering | [[Tempering out]] this comma leads to the '''kalismic temperament''', which splits the [[octave]] into two equal parts, each representing 99/70~140/99. Tempering it out also means that the [[pythagorean comma]] is split into two [[2835/2816]] halves, [[10/9]] and [[11/7]] are a semioctave apart, as well as are [[11/10]] and [[14/9]]. Odd-numbered edos cannot temper it out, as they do not have a semioctave. | ||
See [[Rank-4 temperament #Kalismic (9801/9800)]] for some technical details. See [[Kalismic temperaments]] for a collection of rank-3 temperaments where it is tempered out. | |||
