The fidesma, with a ratio of 2025/2023 is the difference between two 17/15 wide whole tones and a 9/7 supermajor third. Measuring about 1.7 ¢, it is an unnoticeable comma. It is the superpyth counterpart of 1445/1444, tempered out in any scale where the 5th is sharp enough that two of them approximates 17/15 and four 9/7, most notably 22edo, which is very close to quarter comma superpyth.
This comma's name come from both Latin "fidēs" (meaning "chord"[1]) and Latin fīdēs (meaning "you will rely on"[2]), which is fitting because those who like more accurate forms of superpyth-like temperaments and scales frequently end up relying on the tempering of this comma for a number of essentially tempered chords.
