The nexuma, or nexus comma, is an 11-limit unnoticeable comma with a ratio of 1771561/1769472 = [-16 -3 0 0 6 and a value of approximately 2.04265 cents. It is the sum of the 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.
