The '''chalmersia''' is an [[unnoticeable comma|unnoticeable]] [[13-limit]] [[comma]] with a [[ratio]] of '''123201/123200''' and a size of approximately 0.014 [[cent]]s. It is the smallest 13-limit [[superparticular]] comma.


The '''chalmersia''' is an [[unnoticeable comma|unnoticeable]] [[13-limit]] comma with a ratio of '''123201/123200''' and a value of approximately 0.01 [[cent|cents]]. Tempering this comma out equates a stack consisting of a [[729/512]] tritone plus a [[169/128]] grave fourth with a stack consisting of a [[25/16]] augmented fifth plus a [[77/64]] minor third- a feature highly characteristic of '''[[chalmers temperaments]]'''.
It factors into the two smallest [[17-limit]] superparticular ratios: 123201/123200 = ([[194481/194480]])⋅([[336141/336140]]).

[[Tempering out]] this comma in the full 13-limit gives the rank-5 '''chalmersic temperament'''.

The chalmersia is an unnoticeable 13-limit comma with a ratio of 123201/123200 and a size of approximately 0.014 cents. It is the smallest 13-limit superparticular comma.

It factors into the two smallest 17-limit superparticular ratios: 123201/123200 = (194481/194480)⋅(336141/336140).

Temperaments

Tempering out this comma in the full 13-limit gives the rank-5 chalmersic temperament. It equates 351/350 and 352/351, thus splitting 176/175 into two, and equates 385/351 and 351/320, thus splitting 77/64 into two. In addition, it equates a stack consisting of a 729/512 tritone plus a 169/128 grave fourth with a stack consisting of a 25/16 augmented fifth plus a 77/64 minor third; it splits 81/77 into two 40/39's; it splits 11/7 into two 351/280's; and it splits the pythagorean limma 256/243 into 26/25 and 78/77.

Etymology

The chalmersia was named by Gene Ward Smith in 2003 after John Chalmers[1].

The remarkable 123201/123200 might be named the chalmersia, since John Chalmers is presumably the first to see it.
