243/242, the rastma or the neutral third comma, is an 11-limit (also 2.3.11 subgroup) comma with a value of roughly 7.1 cents. It is significant in Just Intonation as the amount by which a stack of two 33/32 quartertones falls short of an apotome as well as the difference between 11/9 and 27/22, and, the difference between 45/44 and 55/54. Tempering it out leads to a form of rastmic temperament or neutral temperament. When not tempered out, the rastma behaves much like an 11-limit counterpart to the 5-limit's syntonic comma – a property that becomes especially apparent when one works extensively with 33/32 quartertones.
