-The '''Pythagorean augmented fourth''', '''729/512''', may be reached by stacking six perfect fifths ([[3/2]]), and reducing by three octaves. It is separated from the 5-limit interval of [[64/45]] by the [[32805/32768|schisma (32805/32768)]], less than 2 cents.

-In addition, it can be interpreted as a literal tritone, since it can be made by stacking three whole tones, [[9/8]].
+From a literal point of view, this interval is the only one that rightly bears the name ''[[tritone]]'', because it is created by combining three [[tone]]s: <code>([[9/8]])<sup>3</sup></code>.
