'''1024/1023''', the '''~~kilobyte comma~~''' is a [[31-limit]] [[Superparticular ratio|superparticular comma]] of about 1.69 [[cent]]s. It forms the difference between [[32/31]] and [[33/32]]. By tempering it out is defined the '''kilobyte temperament''', which enables the [[kilobyte chords]]. It is a [[Mersenne comma]].

'''1024/1023''', the '''kibisma''' is a [[31-limit]] [[Superparticular ratio|superparticular comma]] of about 1.69 [[cent]]s. It forms the difference between [[32/31]] and [[33/32]]. By tempering it out is defined the '''kilobyte temperament''', which enables the [[kilobyte chords]]. It is a [[Mersenne comma]].

== Etymology ==

The word ''kilobyte'' for this comma was ~~introduced~~ by [[User:Xenllium|Xenllium]] in 2023~~. It often refers~~ to 1024 (210) bytes ~~instead of 1000, arising from~~ the ~~prevalence of sizes that are~~ [[~~wikipedia:Power of two~~|~~powers of two~~]] ~~in modern digital memory architectures~~.

The word ''kilobyte'' for this comma was suggested by [[User:Xenllium|Xenllium]] in 2023 to refer to 1024 (210) bytes but it was changed due to it having nothing to do with the logical [[128/125|kilobyte comma]] of 1024/1000 = 128/125, and as a result has nothing to do with bytes either, so ''kibisma'' was preferred as ''kibi'' is the SI prefix for unambiguously referring to 210.
