The vishnuzma or semisuper comma (ratio: 6115295232/6103515625, monzo: [23 6 -14) of 3.338 cents, is the amount by which seven classical chromatic semitones fall short of a just perfect fourth and also by which fourteen classical major thirds miss the pythagorean augmented fourth; in other words the interval (4/3)/(25/24)7.

Temperaments

Tempering out this comma leads to temperaments of the vishnuzmic family.

Etymology

This comma was named by Gene Ward Smith in 2001 in terms of the corresponding temperament, semisuper, for one possible generator of the temperament was a "semisuper fourth"[1]. Semisuper comma appeared shortly after[2]. It is yet to be found out how and why the later name vishnuzma was added.
