256/255: Difference between revisions
Don't fight me on this. Char has a lower accuracy that is more associated with 120/119 than with this comma. If that temp should make this a char comma then it'd also make the marvel comma a char comma |

'''256/255''', the '''charisma''', ''' | '''256/255''', the '''charisma''', '''charic comma''' or '''septendecimal kleisma''' is a [[small comma|small]] [[17-limit]] [[superparticular]] comma about 6.8 [[cent]]s in size. It is the difference between [[16/15]] (the classical diatonic semitone) and [[17/16]] (the large septendecimal semitone), the difference between [[128/85]] (the archagall fifth) and [[3/2]] (the just perfect fifth), and the amount by which a stack consisting of [[15/8]] and 17/16 falls short of an [[octave]]. It is a [[Mersenne comma]]. | ||

The "char" in the name ''charisma'' (or '' | The "char" in the name ''charisma'' (or ''charic comma'') refers to the char data type in C-derived programming languages, where the char represents a byte of at least or exactly 8 bits. Thereby, the maximum unsigned value for an 8-bit char is 255 and the number of values an 8-bit char can take is 256, hence 256/255. | ||
The former name ''diasemisma'' was proposed by [[User:Xenllium|Xenllium]] in May 2023. It is a contraction of ''diatonic semitone'' into a single word. In some contexts, both [[16/15]] and [[17/16]] are considered minor second (ie. [[diatonic semitone]]), namely classical diatonic semitone and minor diatonic semitone respectively. However, a rename to ''charisma'' was proposed as part of an effort to make naming more standardised and for a number of reasons including potential confusion with [[diasem]] and the former nonconforming naming of [[horcrux]] in the 11- and 13-limit (which were formerly named "charisma" and "charismic", creating a potential false impression that the former was a comma, not a temperament, and that the latter was the temperament defined by tempering that comma in the corresponding prime limit); specifically, see the [[Talk:256/255|talk page]] and [[Temperament naming #Contemporary rules]] for details. | The former name ''diasemisma'' was proposed by [[User:Xenllium|Xenllium]] in May 2023.
