Pentestimists

Pentestimists are a hypothetical philosophical concept that describes individuals or groups who believe that the number five holds a fundamental or sacred significance in the universe or in human understanding. This belief is not tied to any established religion or scientific discipline but rather to a personal or communal conviction about the inherent importance of the number five.

The core tenets of pentestimism would likely involve observing patterns, structures, or events that occur in groups of five. This could manifest in various ways, such as finding meaning in the five senses, the five-pointed star (pentagram), the five fingers or toes of a human, or the five basic tastes. Adherents might seek to organize their lives, their understanding of knowledge, or their social structures around principles of five.

Pentestimism would not necessarily be a formal organized religion with established doctrines or hierarchies. Instead, it could exist as a philosophical lens through which individuals interpret the world, or as a shared worldview within small, informal communities. The emphasis would be on the perceived order, harmony, or completeness that the number five represents. There is no evidence of pentestimism as a recognized movement or belief system in current human societies.
