The interval of '''225/224''', the '''marvel comma''', otherwise known as the '''septimal kleisma''', is a [[7-limit]] [[superparticular]] [[comma]]. It pops up as the difference between pairs of 7-limit ratios, for example as ([[15/14]])/([[16/15]]) or ([[45/32]])/([[7/5]]).  
The interval of '''225/224''', the '''marvel comma''', otherwise known as the '''septimal kleisma''', is a [[7-limit]] [[superparticular]] [[comma]]. It pops up as the difference between a 7-limit ratio and a 5-limit ratio. For example, it's the difference between [[16/15]] and [[15/14]], and between [[7/5]] and [[45/32]]. Moreover, it can be seen as the amount by which [[8/7]] exceeds a stack of two {{nowrap|[[16/15]]'s}}, or as the amount by which a stack of two {{nowrap|[[5/4]]'s}} exceeds [[14/9]]. It's also the difference between [[75/64]] and [[7/6]], and between [[25/24]], the classical chromatic semitone, and [[28/27]], the septimal third-tone.  


Another useful relation is as the difference between the [[25/24]], the classical chromatic semitone, and [[28/27]], the septimal third-tone. Hence, it is also the difference between [[32/25]] and [[9/7]], and between [[75/64]] and [[7/6]].
As a comma with a single power of 7 in it, it is tremendously useful in terms of bringing prime 7 into the framework of [[5-limit]] [[just intonation|JI]]; tempering it out maps [[7/4]] to the classic augmented sixth, [[225/128]] and enables all of the aforementioned equivalences.


In terms of commas, it is the difference between [[81/80]] and [[126/125]] and is tempered out alongside these two commas in [[septimal meantone]]. In the 11-limit it factors neatly into ([[385/384]])([[540/539]]), and in the 13-limit, ([[351/350]])([[625/624]]) or ([[325/324]])([[729/728]]).
