1048576/1048575, the mebisma is a 41-limit superparticular comma of about 0.00165 cents. It is the amount by which a stack consisting of 16/15, 32/31 and 64/55 exceeds 41/32. This comma is notably tempered by 311edo, an excellent 41-limit temperament.

Etymology

The word megabyte for this comma was suggested by Xenllium in 2023 to refer to the numerator 1048576 (2²⁰) but it was changed due to it having nothing to do with bytes or with the kilobyte comma to the "mebisma" based on "mebi-" being the SI prefix for 2²⁰ = 1024² and being a shorter name.
