The '''nexuma''', or '''nexus comma''', is an [[11-limit]] [[unnoticeable comma]] with a ratio of '''1771561/1769472''' = {{Monzo|-16 -3 0 0 6}} and a value of approximately 2.04265 cents. It is the sum of the [[32805/32768|schisma]] and the [[parimo]], as well as the amount by which a stack of three [[128/121]] undecimal diatonic semitones fall short of a [[32/27]] minor third. Tempering it out leads to the joining of the 11-limit and the 3-limit, a fact which, in light of both the important functions of the 3-limit and the fact that the 11-limit is the best p-limit for representing quartertones, lends itself to this temperament being dubbed '''nexus temperament'''. | The '''nexuma''', or '''nexus comma''', is an [[11-limit]] [[unnoticeable comma]] with a ratio of '''1771561/1769472''' = {{Monzo|-16 -3 0 0 6}} and a value of approximately 2.04265 cents.
