+'''64/63''', the '''septimal comma''' (also '''Archytas' comma''', or more simply and systematically the '''archytas comma''' or '''archy comma'''), is a [[small comma|small]] [[7-limit]] [[superparticular]] [[comma]] which separates [[9/8]] and [[8/7]] and has the eighth square number as a numerator. It can be considered the [[2.3.7 subgroup]] equivalent of the [[81/80]] comma, and seperates complex pythagorean intervals from simpler 7-limit ones. For example, it is the difference between [[32/27]] and [[7/6]], and the difference between [[81/64]] and [[9/7]]. Since its numerator is a power of 2, it is a [[Mersenne comma]].
