243/242, the rastma or the neutral third comma, is an 11-limit (also 2.3.11 subgroup) comma with a value of roughly 7.1 cents. It is significant in Just Intonation as the amount by which a stack of two 11/9 neutral thirds fall short of 3/2 just perfect fifth, by which a stack of two 33/32 quartertones falls short of an apotome (2187/2048) as well as the difference between 11/9 and 27/22, and, the difference between 45/44 and 55/54. The last makes the theory where the rastma serves as the subchroma that separates greater and lesser 11-limit chromas – a theory that becomes especially useful when one works extensively with high-fidelity renditions of the 11-limit.

## Temperaments

Tempering it out in the full 11-limit leads to the rastmic temperament, enabling rastmic chords, or, in the 2.3.11 subgroup, the neutral temperament, enabling neutral chords.
