The pentifacet of Pleneurethics (see Plate Three) with its field of parallel lines in five directions stands for a creature of nature or engine of man. The first facet represents input into the pentifacet. Parallel lines are drawn toward the opposite facet which represents the structural aspect of any device of nature or man. If the structure is proper, fine parallel lines will be reflected to another facet which stands for the function. From there the lines are again reflected to the facet which represents the content of any device. If the content is proper, an output will be achieved.

Lines from the output facet are reflected back to the original facet—this feedback is present in all devices and is necessary for controlling and monitoring of the operation.

The Pleneurethical Star emerges automatically if the pentifacet is proper and all lines have been correctly reflected. Thus, the star is not drawn in or constructed. It arises spontaneously as a result of perfection in the device. Humans will exhibit the Pleneurethical Star only when they have perfected themselves.

The pentifacet was originally derived by installing a simple loop knot in a strip of paper and then carefully flattening the knot. The circle around the pentifacet symbolizes Pleneurethics at work in the world.
