In knot theory, the cinquefoil knot, also known as Solomon's seal knot or the pentafoil knot, is one of only two knots with crossing number five, the other being the three-twist knot. It is catalogued as knot 5-1 in the Alexander-Briggs notation and can also be described as a (5,2)-torus knot. The cinquefoil is the closed, knotted form produced by joining the ends of a double overhand knot.

Entity-backed identity for the object-kind enum value this mathematical object already carries, resolved to a mathematics concept by an explicit value-to-entity map (phase 3 bucket conversion, docs\design_entity_backed_browse_buckets_20260928.md). The object-kind fact itself stays on the object unchanged.
