Religions

Palmistellationism

This is the main religion of Bothflanks.

Palmistellationists believe that the the stars α, ι, θ, η and ζ Draconis marks the place where the fingers of Lady's right hand touched the heaven when she was upheaving it; and that there are valleys with rivers in the place where the left hand of Lady's Fame touched earth. This is described in the Books of Holy Hands.

Metarationalism

Metarationalists believe that the Christian dogma of the triunitarism of the God gives the number of persons of the God only approximately, and that the exact number is slightly grater, π.


Beside that, there are also two devils and the number of persons of each of them is √2.

The phase of the first devil is 0 and of the other one π (180°), whereas the phase of the God is π/2 (90°).

The symbol of the God is a gray circle, the symbols of the devils are a purple and a green diagonal of the circumscribed square. The symbol of the God shall be in the upper layer, the symbol of the green devil in the lower one.

According of another opinion, only the God is metarational, whereas the devils in this case are nod tempered but natural, and the number of persons of the authentic devil is 1.40625 (45/32) and the number of persons of the plagal devil is 1.42 (64/45).


In both cases, the number of persons of the God exceeds the sum of persons of the devils.

Octotheism

Octotheists believe that there are four pairs of gods or Gods. The difference between gods and Gods is that gods affect the world directly, whereas Gods remain outside the world and affect it through archangels. The four pairs of Gods affect the world through 28 pairs of archangels, whereas the monotheistic Graygod affects the world through 13 pairs of archangels. Archangels are divided into three ranks: 4 pairs of upper archangels, 12 pairs of middle archangels (at monotheists only 6 pairs) a 12 pairs lower archangels (at monotheists only 3 pairs).

Calendars

Fingered calendar

A small week consists of 5 days named after fingers: Thumbday, Indexday, Middleday, Ringday, Littleday.

A month consists of 6 small weeks = 30 days.

A year consists of 1 small week + 12 months = 73 small weeks = 365 days.

A vigentiennium consists of 1 small week + 20 years = 1461 small weeks = 7305 days.

Thus each year and each vigentiennium starts with the Thumbday.

Hued calendar

A medium week consists of 6 days named after hues: Redday, Yellowday, Greenday, Cyanday, Blueday, Purpleday.

A month consists of 5 medium weeks + 1 day = 31 days.

A bimester (AKA xsmall season) consists of 2 months which overlap by 1 day, so that the length of a bimester is 2 × 31 - 1 = 61 days.

A year consists of 6 bimesters = 366 days.

A octoennium consists of 8 years = 488 medium weeks = 2928 days. The octoennia are overlaping; the last medium week of an octoenium is also the first medium week of the next octoennium, so that the length os a biennium is 8 × 366 - 6 = 2922 days.

Thus each year and each octoennium starts with the Redday.
