The septimal ruthenia or septiruthenia (monzo: [-263 88 0 44⟩), known as the 44-septimal comma in earlier materials, is an unnoticeable [[7-limit comma of about 0.38 cents which is defined as the difference between a stack of fourty-four 64/63's and the octave.
It's called "ruthenia" because of the 44th element, ruthenium, following the convention of naming certain fractional-octave temperaments after chemical elements. For edos N up to ~16000, it is tempered out if and only if 44 divides N. The relationship between 64/63 and one step of 44edo is highly precise, even up many thousands of edos.
