'''460/459''', the '''scanisma''' or '''vicewolf comma''', is a [[23-limit]] [[Superparticular ratio|superparticular comma]] of about 3.77 [[cent]]s. It forms the difference between [[23/17]] (vicesimotertial wolf fourth) and [[27/20]] (classical wolf fourth). By tempering it out is defined the '''scanismic temperament''', which enables the [[scanismic chords]].
'''460/459''', the '''scanisma''' or '''vicewolf comma''', is a [[23-limit]] [[Superparticular ratio|superparticular comma]] of about 3.77 [[cent]]s. It forms the difference between [[23/17]] (vicesimotertial wolf fourth) and [[27/20]] (classical wolf fourth). It is also the amount by which a stack of [[23/18]] (the vicesimoterial major third) and [[20/17]] (the diatismic minor third) exceed [[3/2]] (the perfect fifth). Tempering it out defines the '''scanismic temperament''', which enables the [[scanismic chords]].
