In [[13-limit]] [[just intonation]], '''65/64''', the '''wilsorma''', is a [[superparticular]] interval of around 26.8{{cent}}, nearly a quarter of a semitone or eighth of a tone. 65 is 5 times 13, which means that 65/64 can be treated as a harmonic 13th above a harmonic 5th or vice versa. It is the difference between [[5/4]] and [[16/13]]; [[8/5]] and [[13/8]]; [[13/12]] and [[16/15]]; [[15/8]] and [[24/13]], [[13/10]] and [[32/25]]; [[20/13]] and [[25/16]], and of course, infinitely many other pairs of just intervals. It differs from the septimal comma [[64/63]] by [[4096/4095]] and from the syntonic comma [[81/80]] by [[325/324]]. | In [[13-limit]] [[just intonation]], '''65/64''', the '''wilsorma''', is a [[superparticular]] interval of around 26.8{{cent}}, nearly a quarter of a semitone or eighth of a tone. 65 is 5 times 13, which means that 65/64 can be treated as a harmonic 13th above a harmonic 5th or vice versa.

Tempering it out turns 5/4 and 13/8 into [[octave complement]]s of one another. This is particularly useful in many [[13-limit]] [[magic family]] extensions, as it means they are very simply mapped to plus and minus one generator. | Tempering it out turns 5/4 and 13/8 into [[octave complement]]s of one another.

[[Ben Johnston's notation]] denotes this interval simply with the number "13", and its reciprocal as <span style="display: inline-block; transform: rotate(180deg)">13</span> (a turned 13). | |||
