1500625/1492992, the uniwiz comma, is the small interval that separates a stack of four 35/24 subfifths with the just major ninth 9/2. It also is the difference between 9/8 and a stack of four 36/35 quartertones. This has the effect of splitting the whole tone in 4 equal parts, and the octave to be split in half.

Interval information
Name uniwiz comma

uniwizma

Color name quadzoyo 2nd, z^4y^42

Approximations

It is very well approximated by 1\145 and 2\270, and consistently represented in edos such as 171, 224, and 441.

Temperaments

When tempered alone, it leads to the rank-3 uniwiz temperament, which has ~36/35 (or ~35/24) and ~5/4 as generators, and semioctave period. Because it has 2 periods per octave, odd edos cannot be tempering this comma. When the schisma is added, it leads to the rank-2 kleischismic, for which 94 and 118 are great edos.

Despite the name "kleischismic", it does not temper the kleisma. It finds ~3/2 at 2 generators plus a semioctave. By tempering 1225/1224, it also finds ~17/16 at two generators.
