The interval 64/63, called '''septimal comma''' or '''Archytas' comma''' or (in German) '''[http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Komma_%28Musik%29#Leipziger_Komma Leipziger Komma]''', is a [[superparticular|superparticular ratio]] which equates [[9/8|9/8]] and [[8/7|8/7]] if tempered out and has the eighth square number as a numerator. It also equates [[7/4|7/4]] with [[16/9|16/9]], so that the just dominant seventh chord, 1-5/4-3/2-16/9, and the otonal tetrad, 1-5/4-3/2-7/4, are equated to the same chord when 64/63 is tempered out. Equal divisions of the octave tempering out 64/63 include 12, 15, 22, 27, 37, 49 and 59.

The interval 64/63, called **septimal comma** or **Archytas' comma** or (in German) **[[@http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Komma_%28Musik%29#Leipziger_Komma|Leipziger Komma]]**, is a [[xenharmonic/superparticular|superparticular ratio]] which equates [[xenharmonic/9_8|9/8]] and [[xenharmonic/8_7|8/7]] if tempered out and has the eighth square number as a numerator. It also equates [[xenharmonic/7_4|7/4]] with [[xenharmonic/16_9|16/9]], so that the just dominant seventh chord, 1-5/4-3/2-16/9, and the otonal tetrad, 1-5/4-3/2-7/4, are equated to the same chord when 64/63 is tempered out. Equal divisions of the octave tempering out 64/63 include 12, 15, 22, 27, 37, 49 and 59.

It is similar to the Didymus or syntonic comma, 81/80, in that when it is tempered out it makes a stack of four fifths equal a major third (octave equivalent). In the case of 81/80, however, the major third is 5/4, while with the Archytas comma, the major third is 9/7. (Note that [[Porcupine family|Porcupine]], which tempers out 64/63, uses a minor tone as a generator and generally is considered to have 5/4 major thirds, so it doesn't depend on this equivalency.)

If you are using 9/7 major thirds, this also implies that the major third is split into two equal steps that represent both 9/8 and 8/7: If a stack of four fifths gets you to (octave-equivalent) 9/7, and a stack of two fifths gets you to 9/8, then the difference must be (9/7)/(9/8) = 8/7. The 8/7 and 9/8 intervals are equal, however, as a result of the generation process.
