'''~~1.9537 cents~~'''

The '''schisma''', '''32805/32768''', is a small interval about 2 [[cent]]s. It arises as the difference between the [[Pythagorean comma]] and the [[syntonic comma]]. It is equal to ([[9/8]])4/([[8/5]]) and to ([[135/128]])/([[256/243]]) and also to ([[9/8]])3/([[64/45]]).

The ~~schisma~~, ~~32805/32768~~, ~~is the difference between~~ the [[~~Pythagorean_comma|~~Pythagorean comma]] ~~and~~ the [[~~81_80|syntonic comma~~]]. ~~Tempering~~ it ~~out leads~~ to [[~~Schismatic_family|schismatic temperament~~]].

== History and etymology ==

''Schisma'' is a borrowing of Ancient Greek, meaning "split". The term was first used by [[Boethius]] (6th century), in his ''De institutione musica'', using it to refer to half of the [[Pythagorean comma]]. The modern sense was introduced by [[Helmholtz]]' ''On the Sensations of Tone'', in particular the translation by [[Alexander Ellis]], where it is spelled ''skhisma''. Since it is extremely close to the [[superparticular]] ratio [[887/886]] {{nowrap|(2-1 443-1 887)}}, it is used interchangably with this interval in some of Helmholtz' writing.

Tempering out this comma gives a [[5-limit]] microtemperament called [[schismic|schismatic, schismic or helmholtz]], which if extended to larger [[subgroup]]s leads to the [[schismatic family]] of temperaments.

[[Category:~~schisma~~]]

Commas arising from the difference between a stack of Pythagorean intervals and other primes may also be called schismas. The difference between the [[Pythagorean comma]] and [[septimal comma]] is called the [[septimal schisma]]. Other examples are [[undevicesimal schisma]] and [[Alpharabian schisma]].

== Trivia ==

The schisma explains how the greatly composite numbers 1048576 (220) and 104976 (184) look alike in decimal. The largest common power of two between these numbers is 25, (when 1049760 is written to equalize) and when reduced by that, 1049760/1048576 becomes 32805/32768.
