The centisma is a 17-limit (2.3.17 subgroup) unnoticeable comma measuring about 0.189 cents in size. It is the difference between a stack of 400 17/12's and the octave. The tempering out of this results in a period of 1 step of 400edo (3 cents) and makes 17/12, an astronomically close interval to 603 cents (603.00041), exactly 603 cents. Similarly, it makes the semitonisma exactly 6 cents. As such this temperament is very abursdly accurate and it isn't supported by anything other than 400edo until reaching 13400edo.
