The '''chalmersia''' is an [[unnoticeable comma|unnoticeable]] [[13-limit]] comma with a ratio of '''123201/123200''' and a value of approximately 0.014 [[cent]]s. It is the smallest 13-limit [[superparticular]] comma. Tempering it out equates [[351/350]] and [[352/351]], thus splitting [[176/175]] into two, and equates 385/351 and 351/320, thus splitting [[77/64]] into two – these are features highly characteristic of '''chalmers temperaments'''. In addition, it equates a stack consisting of a [[729/512]] tritone plus a [[169/128]] grave fourth with a stack consisting of a [[25/16]] augmented fifth plus a [[77/64]] minor third.

~~Although "chalmersia" is the name that is primarily used for this article as it is the name for this comma on the [http:~~//www.huygens-fokker.org/docs/intervals.html Huygens-Fokker Foundation's interval list], there are other similar names that this comma sometimes goes by, including '''chalmersma''', '''chalmersima''', '''chalmerisma''' and '''chalmersisma'''.
