1156/1155
1156/1155, the quadrantonisma, is an unnoticeable 17-limit no-13 superparticular comma measuring about 1.41 cents. It may be properly described as the septendecimal quartertones comma, since it is the difference between 34/33 and 35/34, the two 17-limit quartertones.

Commatic relations
In terms of commas, it is the difference between the following pairs:
- 289/288 and 385/384
- 442/441 and 715/714
- 561/560 and 1089/1088
- 595/594 and 1225/1224
- 936/935 and 4914/4913
It factors into the following pairs:
- 2080/2079 and 2601/2600
- 1275/1274 and 12376/12375
Temperaments
Tempering out this comma in the 17-limit results in the rank-6 quadrantonismic temperament, or in the 2.3.5.7.11.17 subgroup, the rank-5 quadrantonic temperament. In either case 35/33 is split into two equal parts, each representing 34/33~35/34, and quadrantonismic chords are enabled.
If 9801/9800 is also added to the comma list, the quartertone above becomes literally a quarter of 9/8 and is tuned exactly middle of 33/32, the undecimal quartertone, and 36/35, the septimal quartertone. This tempers the harmonic series segment of quartertones, 32::36, to reduce it to three equidistant elements: 33/32, 34/33~35/34, 36/35.
Alternatively, 1089/1088 (S33) can be added to the comma list, which reduces the segment to two distinct elements: 33/32~34/33~35/34, 36/35; 1225/1224 (S35) works similarly, resulting in 33/32, 34/33~35/34~36/35. Tempering out both 1089/1088 and 1225/1224 while observing 1156/1155 is another major option, resulting in 33/32~34/33, 35/34~36/35, and merging all these temperaments will lead to uniwiz, a rank-3 temperament with a single quartertone representing all the differently sized quartertones in the 2.3.5.7.11.17-subgroup.

Etymology
The quadrantonisma was named by Flora Canou in 2023. It is a contraction of quartertones comma into a single word consisting of Latin quadrans ("fourth") and tonus ("tone"). This comma was chosen as the quartertones comma because the quartertones it separates lie in the middle of the harmonic series segment of quartertones, 32::36.
