reduced harmonic
The satanic comma (monzo: [-1054 665⟩) is the difference between 666 perfect fifths (octave-reduced) and a single perfect fifth. Equivalently, it is the difference between 665 perfect fifths (octave-reduced) and the unison – but that would not be as devilishly intriguing. This difference is inaudible, at only 0.076 ¢.
It is tempered out in 665edo and its multiples (1330edo, etc.), with 665edo itself being an 11-strong 3-2 telic system due to tempering this comma out.
Etymology
This comma was named by Marc Jones in 1990[1].
