The semicomma or Fokker's comma (ratio: 2109375/2097152, monzo: [-21 3 7⟩), is an interval of 10.061 cents which is the amount by which three classic augmented second intervals of 75/64 exceed 8/5. That means (75/64)3/(8/5), which can also be written ((9/8)(25/24))3/(8/5). In terms of commas, it factors into simpler commas as (15625/15552)(32805/32768), the kleisma and the schisma. Tempering it out leads to orson temperament.
