This was missing the most important relation: between the schisma and the Pyth. comma. The diaschisma, however, can be derived from the continuum (it's not eleven schismas). Spell out number of stacks to reduce visual noise. |

'''Kirnberger's atom''', is an [[unnoticeable comma|unnoticeable]] [[5-limit]] [[comma]].

It is the difference between the [[81/80|syntonic comma]] and a stack of eleven [[32805/32768|schismas]], between the [[Pythagorean comma]] and a stack of twelve schismas, or equivalently, between twelve syntonic commas and eleven Pythagorean commas. | ||
