okay if this is wrong i'm going to need help but vector arithmetic should check out

'''Copper comma''', or alternately '''29-atom''' is a 5-limit comma which is to [[29edo]] as is the Kirnberger's atom is to [[12edo]].

Tempering it out results in the rank-2 '''copper''' temperament, which splits the octave into 29 parts, and the reduced generator is the difference between a more precise fifth and the 29-tone-tempered one, just as [[atomic]] does to 12edo. A circle of 29 of the flattened fifths amounting to 17 periods, differs from 17 octaves by the copper comma.

A circle of 29 of the sharpened fifths equal to {{monzo|-537 -326 9}}, differs from 17 octaves by the copper comma. The difference is that since 29edo is an above-pythagorean temperament, the copper fifth is sharp of 3/2. The tiny interval between the two, {{monzo|-536 325 9}} can be called [[29-schisma]].
