1287/1280, the catadictma, is a 13-limit small comma. It is the amount by which a stack consisting of 16/11 and 16/13 falls short of 9/5. It can be factored into simpler commas as (351/350)(385/384), or as (225/224)(1001/1000). In terms of superparticulars, it is (33/32)/(40/39). By tempering it out is defined the catadictmic temperament, which enables the catadictmic chords. Adding 676/675 lets you efficiently incorporate 11-limit harmony into barbados chords.
