'''160083/160000''', the '''seascape comma''', otherwise described as the ''undecimal hemifourths comma'', is an [[unnoticeable comma|unnoticeable]] [[11-limit]] [[comma]] measuring about 9/10 of a [[cent]].

~~'''160083/160000''', the '''seascape comma''', otherwise described~~ as ~~the ''undecimal hemifourths comma'', is an~~ [[~~11-limit~~]] [[~~unnoticeable comma]] measuring about 9~~/~~10 of a cent. Tempering it out gives the highly accurate rank-4 [[Seascape|seascape temperament~~]].

It factors into simpler commas as ([[2401/2400]])⋅([[9801/9800]]).

~~The name comes~~ from the typical base-10 fractional representation of this interval bearing a striking resemblance of that of the [[landscape comma]], 250047/250000, while only adding 11 to the mix of prime factors, and being of a relatively similar size.

== Temperaments ==

[[Tempering out]] this comma gives the highly accurate rank-4 [[Catalog of rank-4 temperaments#Seascape (160083/160000)|seascape]] temperament, which splits the perfect fourth, [[4/3]], into two intervals of [[231/200]].

== Etymology ==

This comma was named by [[Tristan Bay]] in 2024, from the typical base-10 fractional representation of this interval bearing a striking resemblance of that of the [[landscape comma]], 250047/250000, while only adding 11 to the mix of prime factors, and being of a relatively similar size.
