'''1701/1700''', the '''palingenesis comma''', also known as the '''palingenetic comma''', or '''palingenesma''', is a [[17-limit]] [[unnoticeable comma]] with a size of roughly 1.02 cents. It identifies the [[21/17|septendecimal submajor third (21/17)]] by a stack of two [[10/9]] intervals, therefore making it comparable with the [[325/324|marveltwin (325/324)]]. It is, in fact, the difference between the [[273/272|tannisma]] and the marveltwin. It also arises as the amount by which a stack consisting of [[27/16]] and [[28/25]] exceeds [[17/9]], and the the amount by which [[85/84]] falls short of [[81/80]]. When tempered out in a linearly independent fashion, the resulting temperaments are called "'''palingenetic temperaments'''", and are characterized by the presence of [[Dyadic chord|essentially tempered chord]]s called "[[palingenetic chords]]" in the [[27-odd-limit]]. | '''1701/1700''', the '''palingenesis comma''', also known as the '''palingenetic comma''', or '''palingenesma''', is a [[17-limit]] [[unnoticeable comma]] with a size of roughly 1.02 cents.

This comma's names ultimately come from the Ancient Greek word "palingenesía" (meaning "rebirth", "regeneration" or "renaissance"<ref>[[Wiktionary: palingenesis #English]]</ref>), a fitting name since people often hope for a new start after each year. The name is also appropriate in light of how certain essentially tempered chords generated by this comma are evocative of the kinds of chords heard in [[ | This comma's names ultimately come from the Ancient Greek word "palingenesía" (meaning "rebirth", "regeneration" or "renaissance"<ref>[[Wiktionary: palingenesis #English]]</ref>), a fitting name since people often hope for a new start after each year.
