4096/4095, the schismina, is a 13-limit superparticular ratio of about 0.42 cents. It is the difference between:

It is also a Mersenne comma, and the smallest superparticular ratio in the 2.3.5.7.13 subgroup on which it is also a PIFE-like comma.

The name lends itself to the general interval size measure knowns as the mina. In Sagittal notation, 4096/4095 is the default comma represented by a mina or three tinas.

Temperaments

By tempering it out is defined the schisminic temperament, which enables the schisminic chords, the essentially tempered chords in the no-11 21-odd-limit. You may find a list of good equal temperaments that support this temperament below.
