'''4000/3993''', the '''wizardharry comma''', is an [[unnoticeable comma|unnoticeable]] [[11-limit]] comma with a size of roughly 3.03 [[cents]]. It is the amount by which a stack of three [[11/10]] submajor seconds falls short of the [[4/3]] perfect fourth. Tempering it out means the ~~4th~~ is divided into an equal stepped tetrachord, however, it does this by means equating a stack of three 11/10 intervals with 4/3, rather than by equating three [[10/9]] whole tones with 4/3 as in the [[porcupine family]] of temperaments, although 11-limit [[porcupine]] does both as 11/10 and 10/9 are equated.
