The '''diatonic-paradiatonic nexus comma''', otherwise known as the '''nexus comma''', the '''nexisma''', or – in the earliest materials where this comma is named outside of [[color notation]] – the '''nexuma''', is an [[11-limit]] (also 2.3.11 subgroup) [[unnoticeable comma]] with a ratio of '''1771561/1769472''' and a value of approximately 2 cents. In color notation, this same comma is referred to as the '''tribilo comma'''. It is the amount by which a stack of three [[128/121]] Axirabian diatonic semitones falls short of a [[32/27]] minor third, or equivalently stated, the amount by which a stack of three 121/96 intervals exceeds the octave. It is also the amount by which a stack of six [[12/11]] neutral seconds fall short of a [[27/16]] major sixth, the ~~difference between the~~ [[243/242|rastma]] and the [[Alpharabian comma]], and the ~~sum~~ of the [[32805/32768|schisma]] and the [[parimo]].
