The '''olympia''' ([[monzo]]: {{monzo| 17 -5 0 -2 -1 }}, [[ratio]]: 131072/130977) is an 11-limit (~~also~~ 2.3.7.11 subgroup) [[~~unnoticeable~~ comma]] measuring about 1.26 [[cent]]s. It is the difference between the undecimal quartertone ([[33/32]]) and a stack of two septimal commas ([[64/63]]). ~~Even more interesting~~ is the ~~possible factorization~~ into two [[13-limit]] [[superparticular]] ~~ratios~~: [[2080/2079]] × [[4096/4095]]. ~~In fact,~~ the olympia is the default ~~interval~~ represented by three [[mina]]s in the Olympian level of [[Sagittal notation]], from which it gets its name.

The '''olympia''' ([[monzo]]: {{monzo| 17 -5 0 -2 -1 }}, [[ratio]]: 131072/130977), otherwise known as the '''olympic comma''', is an [[unnoticeable comma|unnoticeable]] [[11-limit]] (specifically [[2.3.7.11 subgroup|2.3.7.11-]][[subgroup]]) [[comma]] measuring about 1.26 [[cent]]s. It is the difference between the undecimal quartertone ([[33/32]]) and a stack of two septimal commas (([[64/63]])2), which gives rise to its [[S-expression]] as S642⋅S65. Equivalently, it is the difference between [[22/21]] and a stack of three septimal commas.

It factors into two [[13-limit]] [[superparticular ratio]]s: ([[2080/2079]])⋅([[4096/4095]]). These ratios and the olympia itself are the default intervals represented by one, two, and three [[mina]]s in the Olympian level of [[Sagittal notation]], from which it gets its name.

== Temperaments ==

Tempering out this comma in the full 11-limit results in the rank-4 ~~'''~~olympic temperament~~'''~~ , ~~with~~ a very natural 13-limit extension {2080/2079, 4096/4095} (→[[~~Rank-4 temperament #Olympic (131072~~/~~130977)~~]]).

[[Tempering out]] this comma in the full 11-limit results in the rank-4 olympic temperament (→ [[Rank-4 temperament #Olympic (131072/130977)]]), or in the 2.3.7.11 subgroup, the rank-3 olympian temperament. In either case, it sets 1–64/63–33/32–22/21–[[1089/1024|(33/32)2]] to become equidistant.

Olympic has a very natural 13-limit extension {[[2080/2079]], [[4096/4095]]}. As the comma's order of 11 is one, any 7-limit temperament can be extended to the 11-limit by tempering out this comma, but it works best for temperaments with low complexity and high accuracy in the septimal comma.

Olympian is also very close to undecimal [[gary]], which also tempers out the symbiotic comma and makes all the 2.3.7.11 reachable through the chain of fifths, thus equating [[64/63]] with a [[pythagorean comma]].

-The '''olympia''' ([[monzo]]: {{monzo| 17 -5 0 -2 -1 }}, [[ratio]]: 131072/130977) is an 11-limit (also 2.3.7.11 subgroup) [[unnoticeable comma]] measuring about 1.26 [[cent]]s. It is the difference between the undecimal quartertone ([[33/32]]) and a stack of two septimal commas ([[64/63]]). Even more interesting is the possible factorization into two [[13-limit]] [[superparticular]] ratios: [[2080/2079]] × [[4096/4095]]. In fact, the olympia is the default interval represented by three [[mina]]s in the Olympian level of [[Sagittal notation]], from which it gets its name.
