In [[just intonation]], '''65/64''', the '''wilsorma''', is a [[superparticular]] interval of around 26.8¢, nearly a quarter of a semitone or eighth of a tone. It belongs to the [[13-prime-limit]], which means that the highest prime in the ratio is 13. 65 is 5 times 13, which means that 65/64 can be treated as a harmonic 13th above a harmonic 5th or vice versa. It is the difference between [[5/4]] and [[16/13]]; [[8/5]] and [[13/8]]; [[13/12]] and [[16/15]]; [[15/8]] and [[24/13]], [[13/10]] and [[32/25]]; [[20/13]] and [[25/16]], and of course, infinitely many other pairs of just intervals. It differs from the septimal comma [[64/63]] by [[4096/4095]] and from the syntonic comma [[81/80]] by [[325/324]]. | In [[just intonation]], '''65/64''', the '''wilsorma''', is a [[superparticular]] interval of around 26.8¢, nearly a quarter of a semitone or eighth of a tone.

Tempering it out turns 5/4 and 13/8 into [[Octave_complement|octave complements]] of one-another. This is particularly useful in many [[13-limit]] [[Magic_family|magic family]] extensions, as it means they are very simply mapped to plus and minus one generator. | |||
