'''19712/19683''', the '''symbiosma''' or '''symbiotic comma''', is an [[11-limit]] [[unnoticeable comma]] measuring about 2.55 cents. It gets its names from the fact that it is tempered out in such notable temperaments as [[Vishnuzmic family #Vishnu|vishnu]], [[Breedsmic temperaments #Newt|newt]], [[Mirkwai clan #Kwai|kwai]], [[Hemifamity temperaments #Supers|supers]], [[Schismatic family #Guiron|guiron]] and [[Amity family|amity]], and, from the fact that it also makes a good extension to a number of other temperaments such as [[Canou family|canou]]. It is the difference between an apotome [[2187/2048]] and a stack of [[33/32]] and [[28/27]]. Alternatively stated, it identifies [[11/8]] by an apotome over [[9/7]]. Moreover, it is the sum of the [[quartisma]] and the [[nexuma]]. Tempering out this comma in a linearly independent fashion results in '''symbiotic temperament'''.

It is the difference between an apotome [[2187/2048]] and [[77/72]]- the latter of which can be broken down into a [[33/32]] quartertone stacked on top of [[28/27]]. Alternatively stated, it identifies [[11/8]] by an apotome over [[9/7]]. Moreover, it is the sum of the [[quartisma]] and the [[nexuma]]. Tempering out this comma in a linearly independent fashion results in '''symbiotic temperament'''.
