However, despite the usefulness of the Binomial naming system, there is now need to provide examples of the "after every 3rd" idea from different subjects to help the reader understand that it is a recurring pattern being exhibited by human thinking, and may in fact indicate a standard Operational pattern of Nature... or simply the nature of the brain humanity has:

3 to 1 Synoptic gospels reference
  • There are 3 (Biblical) synoptic (with similar information) gospels and 1 idiosyncratic (non-similar information) (Matthew, Mark, Luke + John).
  • We say [North-South-East]... "and" West, with the word "and" much like the use of a comma when used to separate the 1's-10's-100's from the 1,000ths place.
  • Here[s a 3 to 1 expression: [For he's a jolly good fellow- For he's a jolly good fellow- For he's a jolly good fellow]- Which nobody can deny.
  • Use of a familiar pattern-of-three when telling jokes is "punctuated" by expressions of humor, disgust or someone calling you an idiot. Many jokes often involve three characters or three themes.
  • Use of a paper-rock-scissors betting game to realize a winner or a "do-over" attempt (which sounds like some criteria Evolution follows in going back to the drawing board).

While examples of 3-to-1 are aplenty, I want to get the reader to get away from any habit which might label the sequences as being "four". For example, the following items would not be labeled as four because 3 of the characters are similar and are thus generally viewed as a group (or elements/members) of a specific set, with the mention of another character as a group of 1.

Keep in mind that the following examples illustrate a common cognitive theme of enumeration taking place and obscured from observation by the use of words and the common behavior of people to compartmentalize interests to a give genre of personalized orientation which is further individualized to exclude other information that they may be familiar with, but do not customarily catalog together and make referential comparisons which reveal recurring patterns. It is like looking at a repeat of primitive human efforts to establish a counting system that involves the first three numbers, but then comes faced with that which is beyond the conceptual framework of "Three". In other words, the idea of a "1" was followed by some language or thought-equivalent "Many" theme. Perhaps a list of such a vocation in early thought processing will be of value to some readers:

  • 1- Many [1 count value and a Many value]
  • 1- 2- Many [1- 2 count value and a Many value]
  • 1- 2- 3- Many [1- 2- 3 count value and a Many value]

Regardless of how the "Many" term was described by ancient languages, it nonetheless references cognitive stopping points. And yes, you can count 1-2-3-Many and label the "Many" as a "4", yet forget to think in terms of an expressed counting behavior which has the potential to exceed the "4" and place it in a potential 3-parts set of 4-5-6. The "Many" is a part of the conceptual framework in which the [1-2-3] are similar to a type of cognitive babbling stage of development which precedes a multiplicity of vocalization called speech. The following examples could very well be an indication that human consciousness is in a constrained stage of Babbling, but there are a few people who have or are stepping into what I call a 3rd consciousness realm of perception and expression.

The problems is, humanity is not prepared to face a stage of Evolution which supersedes the common institutionalized exercise of not only using dualities, but exercises an aggressive demand that everyone complies with the standard of dichotomization which serves their survival interests. If not, let's put the "out of bounds" children on some drug, or force them to select a drug of their choice, or use various financial measures of compliance in accord with the dichotomies of Banking/Commerce standards... or else make life so difficult that those who feel forced to commit some monetary-oriented crime can be incarcerated. Everyone is required to adopted some accepted orientation of dichotomization because not a single present day institution of higher learning, Politics, Government, etc., is formally aware of the existence of human Evolution proceeding towards a realization of Trichotomization has a perceptualized "higher cognitive counting measurement".

Instead, let's use a variety of pharmacological constraints/restraints to get people to go along with whatever program of dichotomy is set into place by present standards of Psychology, Philosophy, Education, Music, Government, Corporations, Politics, etc...

There are many types of drugs, and some have gained government acceptance so long as it can get a cut of the gains through taxation. Such as coffee, tobacco, alcohol, gambling, legalized double standards of law for different social classes, corporate theft, enforced Insurance purchases, Social Security Ponzi schemes, Stock Market Ponzi schemes, Nationalized Medical insurance Ponzi schemes, Nationalized vehicle and home Insurance schemes, non-federally insured banking schemes, Retirement/Stock Market alliance scam, etc...

With respect to children being given a drug to "calm them down", their "accelerated" state of activity is paired with an accelerated state of perception that takes in a lot of information, but because social institutions like Educations and Psychology (etc...) don't have members who collectively experience this reality where there are numerous instances of available patterns that are not typically organized by the dichotomy-organized standards of society, the multiple (accelerated) perceptions of children have no standardized means of collating their perceptions into a recognizable theme. For example, imagine a child becoming hyper-aware of reality in which their mind becomes tuned into a "3" channel, but socially institutionalized conventions require them to perceive, accept-as-truth, and adopt one and another dualization as a working model to be incorporated into one's conceptual framework of application of compliant behavior in concert with the wide-spread acceptance of dualization expressed by every single religion, even if they use alternative patterns in practice. Indeed, asking for compliance to duality is akin to following some precept vociferously pronounced by religion from one's birth until death. {Heaven/Hell, right/wrong, good/bad, etc... even though Jesus himself said he did not come to bring peace but a sword in Matthew 10:34}

  • etc...

We need to stop being inclined to reference the use of "four" as a refutation of a recurring "three" rule and look at it as an incomplete development of a second set of three. In other words, it is a portrait of the human brain acting as a scratched record repeating itself. It is not a "four" expression but an illustration that the potential of evolutionary growth in human thinking is presently on a conveyor belt of activity that is using the same underlying scaffolding but relabeling (dress, color, language, etc...) the product for different markets (contexts).

After Every Third another set of three can occur, but frequently doesn't, yet because we are not aware that such a rule exists, we count the truncation as a "4" (or as a 5, 6, 7, 8...) instead of the start of a new set of three whose development, for one reason(s) or another reaches a next one or next two... or if a three is achieved, it is misconstrued as not being part of some earlier 3-part sequence, or that none has occurred because we are unable to recognize a step and may instead call it a missing link or that the overall design is not related to some earlier model. Far too many want exact look-a-likes in order to make comparisons and call the comparisons as being similar... such as the "5" of the Pentadactyl limb being overall interpreted as a pattern-of-three.

The patterns in Baseball have have some similarities with biology, and was in fact used by the (paleontologist, evolutionary biologist, and science writer) Stephen Jay Gould who developed such views as the "Wall" (Evolution runs into a wall) analogy and "Punctuated Equilibrium" (which is followed by long periods of stability where little change takes place). The recurring periods of so-called "stability" during a baseball game is what some describe as its boring aspect. Clearly, the notion of "Punctuated Equilibrium" in the dynamics of Evolution is like the intermittent bursts of activity which can occur during a baseball game; such as when a player steals a base or a home run occurs... if not some dog, duck or human quack running onto the field. However, Gould did not see the presence of the idea concerning the title of this page "After Every Third". Had he been aware of it. another book encapsulating this idea would surely have been written. ("Gould, Stephen Jay." Encyclopædia Britannica, 2013.)

Did Baseball influence the idea of Punctuated Equilibrium?

It should also be pointed out that while some readers might want to make a point about there being four bases and thus (to them) represents the idea of throwing a wrench into the "threes" formula, let me point out that it still effectively represents the "After Every Third" idea by denoting the cognitive alignment which plays out. We numerically describe the first 3 bases, but alternatively describe the so-called 4th base as either home plate or home base. Thus, we have not only a 3-to-1 example, but an indication of a new start after the three in which words instead of numbers are used. While this case clearly exhibits 1 after the 3, some examples in other subjects may express 2 after the 3 or 3 after the 3. Nonetheless, the same cognitive formula is being used where the different contexts of different subjects may use symbols and vocabulary specific to the requirements for intellectually participating in the environment of a given subject in order to facilitate communication and understanding. Every subject apparently has its own symbols and vocabulary that one must grasp in order to speak about it with any appreciable understanding, though all subjects are constrained in what underlying cognitive patterns can be used due to the Nature of the human brain and biology.

At every third we can observe the realization of a greater complexity will occur or has occurred. However, if the word "complexity" does not sit well with some readers, than one might otherwise (at the very least) describe this as a new dynamic, particularly when that which follows three may be the beginning of a different type/style of three... thought a complete "3-series" need not be achieved. In other words, that which follows a set of three may only achieve the 1st place (like a batter hitting a ball that can only advance them to 1st base). The next two batters may strike out, and thus the one on 1st base is an expression of evolution that we might call a mutation and not the potential start of a new beginning which produces a rally of home runs in Evolutionary terms of development... so to speak. However, metaphorically speaking... in evolution, just as in baseball, we sometimes see 2nd base being achieved. Hence, the 1st set of three produces not a set of 1, but a set of 2. In some instances, evolution does achieve a set of 3 following or preceeding some other set of 3. Hence, like in basic counting notation, the hundreds place may be followed by a 4th (thousands place) but not reach the 5th (10,000ths) position or 100,000ths station of development. However, in many instances we do see the development of a new set of three being achieved... perhaps in what appears to be a different subject area, as if Evolution is a gifted inventor who works on multiple projects at the same time, but may concentrate on one, two, or three... for periods of time before changing gears and switching to some other interest... like a painter stopping at some point in the development of a painting in order to start or continue with a statue project or even some architectural interest... if not commissioned to work on a bridge, street, or warfare project. (Multiple artists in the past wore several different occupational hats, such as the multiple interests Leonardo Da Vinci had.


Short representation of Leonardo Da Vinci

In an attempt to simplify the foregoing, let me say that the potential to reach a "Home base/Home plate" design in Evolution (despite flaws as we see in human physiology which can create medical issues), has the potential to occur after a 3rd (base) position has been achieved. And yes, a given runner on 1st (or 2nd) can steal to home and not express a representative "being on 2nd or 3rd base" status; thus obscuring an easily detectable earlier position which we may call a missing link; or leave some with the notion that "something supernatural event occurred" as an intervention, simply because humans do not yet have the correct model of thinking to understand the circumstances. Baseball runners on a given plate, can exhibit "punctuated" movements by stealing one or more bases that could even develop into what can be called a "home run" design. At present, surviving members of the different life forms are those that can either be said to have reached a "home run" design due to survivability, even though the survivability of a species, of a civilization, of an idea, of a fad, music genre, etc., are more on the order of being a foul ball or high pop up that is eventually caught and thus extinguishes that part of an inning. It may be the result of a fluke, luck, or deliberately taking advantage of exploitable resources, but it nonetheless achieves viability, regardless of our human definition or description of perfection.

Note: while some may want to think of long enduring species of hominids in terms of being a "home run" (or a civilization such as ancient Rome), the fact that they eventually became extinct suggests we might be better off in looking at them as being parts of an inning or even as foul balls that the spectators (researchers) are focused on like a rolling ground ball that takes awhile before it comes to an end, or even a ball hit high into the air and takes awhile before it comes down and either lands in foul territory or is caught. While it is understood that if a batter gets struck out while others are on base the strike out also affects their position in that they too suffer the same fate of being "struck out"... called becoming extinct... or at least diminished to some play a different role. The same thing occurs in Evolution. The entire game can come to a halt during a rain storm, or in evolutionary terms, an asteroid storm. The "After Every Third" slogan needs to be identified in terms of whether it is occurring as an infinitesimal calculus, or in terms of some other math model such as Algebra, Geometry, basic Arithmetic, Trigonometry, set theory, etc... In what manner of formulaic expression is a given representation occurring, and is it part of a series of different calculations taking place in a larger formula as some sort of unrecognized Order of Operation? In other words, does Evolution occur in a straight simple formula or addition, or does it- will it- can it proceed as a multiply expressed order of operations such as the PEMDAS? (Parentheis, Exponent, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction...). Is the idea of "After Every Third" represent a type of Standard Operating Procedure that is itself static or dynamic? Has it remained the same or is it subject to evolving?

Standard Operating Procedure (S.O.P.): set of written guidelines or instructions for the completion of a routine task, designed to increase performance, improve efficiency, and ensure quality through systemic homogenization. The term was first recorded in the mid-20th century.

SOPs are utilized in various contexts by a vast array of entities, including those in the areas of business, education, government, health care, industry, and the military. Although categorical variations are inevitable, all SOPs have in common the systematization of the individual steps performed in the implementation of a repetitive task to create an overall quality system. SOPs first identify and summarize a task, describe its purpose, and specify when and by whom it is to be performed while simultaneously defining uncommon or specialized terms and addressing potential concerns (e.g., necessary equipment or supplies, health and safety cautions, etc.). They then describe the sequential procedures to be followed, often utilizing activity checklists and graphic illustrations (e.g., charts, tables, photographs, diagrams, etc.) to help ensure that the procedures are being performed accurately and in order.

SOPs can also provide many other benefits, such as minimizing the chance of miscommunication, affording comparability, and ensuring regulatory compliance. However, they must be periodically assessed and modified to maintain currency, thus enabling them to further improve final results. The disadvantages of SOPs include excessive paperwork and a reduction in workplace individuality.

Humanity is at present the king of a long successive (hit and miss) history of home run designs, despite all its flaws. And this design was achieved by way of successive sets-of-three having occurred in Nature. And even though Palentologists may rush to describe multiple earlier models of humans which don't appear to exhibit a "set of three" rule, this may be little more than an expression that the human mind has not yet developed the accuracy for detecting appropriate compartmentalizations of Natural events... they prefer to use (for example) the traditional Binomial system because it serves a human model of thinking which is most comfortable perceiving reality in dualistic terms.

The successive sets-of-three in Nature continues to be expressed in Human anatomy as well in multiple different ideas under different labels and guises. However, we can see patterns which appear to describe constructs that have more or less than a set-of-three formula, and thus want to throw out the idea of such a rule, because present conditions of intellectual activity allow for a "throw away" attitude to be practiced, spurned out by multiple venues of commercialization which also occur in the arenas of Education, Religion, and Philosophy. For whatever reasons, we can see less than a set of three having developed in some circumstances and on other occasions we see what some might describe as being more than three (4, 5, 6...), but I would describe both in developmental terms where a set-of-three design rue remains a valid means of interpreting Natural events. Sometimes a set-of-three is not achieved, and sometimes one set is replaced by or occurs simultaneouslyy with another partial set having developed as a potential "next generation", like offspring which may or may not look or act like their forerunners. While one might describe the presence of multiple reasons, this too may be governed by the "After Every 3rd" rule. The reason(s) for a set-of-three not being fully achieved may itself use some as yet undefined rule-of-three governing Nature's disposition— as being witnessed in this era of human evolution. However, the survival strategies which have been adopted may not be serviceable for changing environmental conditions which are out of human control, even if they originated due to human activity.

Some earlier designed evolutionary models may be interpreted to be home run kings, so long as the design of the ball park (environment) remains viable to their design. However, taken out of their element or having to face changes they are not prepared for, their "home run" statistic may become a liability because they have acquired skills not easily transplantable to a changed or changing environment. Such is the case for multiple types of intellectualized conventions such as Communism, Democracy, Socialism, Religion, Eastern Philosophy, technology, medicine, music, art, farming, architecture, etc... as well as one's race and gender. Human gender is already being attacked by the very stupid (self-centered) attempted (individual-specific and not species-specific) survival strategies of the LGBTQ+ cult that is raging through the streets of humanity like a dust storm filled with volcanic ash and multiple types of urban tumble weed. And yet, true to the present rule-of-three idea being presented here, we find that some members of the clan egotistically describe themselves as a "3rd" species. Ha! The "three" makes its mark again like some emblazoned logo most of humanity is oblivious to. (The 3-line etched out sword mark of the character "Zorro" comes to mind.)

Let us provide a bit of evidence for the proposed rule of three denoted as "After Every Third":

Take for example particle physics... Apparently it has reached its zenith by:

  • Having developed 3 large particles called Protons- Neutrons- Electrons.
  • Having developed 3 families of fundamental particles.
  • Having developed the scenario of 3 quarks and 3 anti-quarks for Protons and Neutons.
  • Having the expressed three values of 1/3rd, 2/3rd, 1 (whole).

The Standard model of particle physics has three "related" natural near-symmetries. These state that the actual universe about us is indistinguishable from one where:

  1. Every particle is replaced with its antiparticle. This is C-symmetry (Charge symmetry);
  2. Everything appears as if reflected in a mirror. This is P-symmetry (Parity symmetry);
  3. The direction of time is reversed. This is T-symmetry (Time symmetry)

3 families of particles with recurring cognitive patterning. The "2-3-4" ensemble has its own frequency of appearance in other examples such as the pair, 3-of-a-kind and 4-of-a-kind enumerated hands in poker. The "flush" is not enumerated and ideologically represents the 3 bases and home plate in baseball.

2, 3, 4 particle ensemble as a cognitive triad

The Number Three in multiple ideas humans regard as Natural
(Initial compilation begun by Mark Mahin. I simply added to it.)

With regard to the development of the Universe, we can take for example the human idea for the shape of the Universe:

  1. 1 geometry describes it as being flat. (linear)
  2. 1 geometry describes it as being spherical. (circular)
  3. 1 geometry describes it as being saddle-shaped. (triangular-like)

Ancient peoples recognized 3 distinct groupings of "7", which no doubt played a part as to the influence of the number being adopted by religious mystics, and led to claiming there were seven wonders of the ancient world, the seven continents of today, the Trivium/Quadrivium later on in Universities, and that the human skin has seven layers:

  1. The seven stars of the Pleiades.
  2. The Seven stars of the Big Dipper (which was used as the originating source of the swastika by viewing and collating the Big Dipper during the 2 solstices and 2 equinoxes).
  3. The seven viewable planets ("wanderers") seen without a telescope: Sun, Earth, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn.

Seven Wonders of the Ancient world: preeminent architectural and sculptural achievements of the ancient Mediterranean and Middle East, as listed by various observers. The best known are those of the 2nd-century-BC writer Antipater of Sidon and of a later but unknown observer of the 2nd century BC who claimed to be the mathematician Philon of Byzantium. Included on the list in its eventual form were the following:

  1. Pyramids of Giza, the oldest of the wonders and the only one of the seven substantially in existence today.
  2. Hanging Gardens of Babylon, thought to be a series of landscaped terraces, exact location unknown, generally ascribed to Queen Sammu-ramat, King Nebuchadrezzar II, or the Assyrian king Sennacherib.
  3. Statue of Zeus at Olympia, a large, ornate figure of the god on his throne, made about 430 BC by Phidias of Athens.
  4. Temple of Artemis at Ephesus, a structure famous for its imposing size and for the works of art that adorned it.
  5. Mausoleum of Halicarnassus, monumental tomb of the Anatolian king Mausolus built by his widow Artemisia.
  6. Colossus of Rhodes, a huge bronze statue built at the harbour of Rhodes in commemoration of the raising of the siege of Rhodes (305–304 BC).
  7. Pharos of Alexandria, the most famous lighthouse of the ancient world, built for Ptolemy II of Egypt about 280 BC on the island of Pharos off Alexandria.

Some early lists included the Walls of Babylon or the Palace of King Cyrus of Persia in place of one of the sites noted above.

3 recurring Moon formation theories: Fission- Capture- Impact.

Fission, Capture, Impact plus Co-creation.

Humans have proposed many 3-part and 3-to-1 ratio ideas involving fundamental forces:

  • 3 laws of motion (by Sir Isaac Newton)
  • 3 laws of planetary motion (by Johannes Kepler)
  • 3 forces which agree with the Standard Model of Physics: Strong- Weak- Electromagnetic
  • 1 force which does not agree with the Standard Model Gravity (Resists explanation as part of attempted Unified Field Theories).
  • 3 early atmospheric gases preceded the development of water on Earth: a gaseous mixture rich in carbon carbon monoxide (CO), dioxide (CO2) and molecular nitrogen (N2) (Source: "ocean." Encyclopædia Britannica, 2013.).
  • 3 forms of matter readily available on Earth: Solids- Liquids- Gases and 1 form of matter not readily available: Plasma

3 phases of 1 matter

Metaphor of matter to human consciousness

Despite all the wondrous planetary and cosmic constructs, all of it presently pales in comparison to the origination of a 3rd planet such as Earth, upon which the complexity of life began (as far as we have thus far discovered as a fact and does not linger about human thought processing as a supposition).

  1. The planetary trio of the Sun- Earth- Moon effect a life-serving environment. Each with definitive properties.
  2. The Sun affected life's macro-molecules with a triple-patterned strobe light effect due to an accelerated Earth billions of years ago.
  3. The Sun's 3 "moments/phases" (dawn-noon-dusk) are heading along a course in which they will "fuse" as the Sun expands, thus imposing a 3-to-1 ratio impression.

While the development of life has had its stops, starts, and various excursions, we nonetheless can pay witness to a recurrence of developmental scenarios in which a three-patterned arrangement can be defined.

With respect to stops, starts and excursions, we see this trio of activity (sometimes visible as a 3-to-1 ratio format) occurring in the optically active amino acids which also exhibit left/right chirality (direction of orientation... like a right or left-handed baseball pitcher):

Amino acid handedness
  1. 3 Stop codons— UAG, UGA, and UAA (represent translation-termination signals)
  2. 1 Start codon—
  3. Limitation of amino acid developmental usage (20 "excursions") for humans, though other amino acid counts are possible:
    • Group I [non-polar] amino acids are (8 in quantity)— alanine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, proline, phenylalanine, methionine, and tryptophan.
    • Group II [Polar, uncharged] amino acids are (7 in quantity)— glycine, serine, cysteine, threonine, tyrosine, asparagine, and glutamine.
    • Group III [Acidic] amino acids are (2 in quantity)— aspartic acid, glutamic acid.
    • Group IV (basic) amino acids are (3 in quantity)— arginine, histidine, and lysine.

Source for above description: "amino acid." Encyclopædia Britannica,2013.

3 stop and 1 start codons

We do not see hundreds, thousands, or millions of different amino acids. Biology's excursions are an expressed limitation which in turn express environmental pressures. These developmental excursions are then placed into categories which routinely use a similar patterning structure consistent with the type of brain and communicated symbology/language used by humans during a given period in history. The "after every third" notion can be used as a tool to collate different ideas found in multiple subjects. Clearly, while Nature follows rules, the rules are sometimes broken, or at least stretched or jumbled up... as if Nature is trying to free itself from the bondage of incrementally deteriorating environmental/planetary patterns. (Like a child throwing contents of their room into disarray as a defiant gesture to a parent instructing them to put their things in a designated place in conformance with the parent's rationale.)

Thus, it needs to be understood that despite the constraints on development which patterns in Nature exhibit, Nature provides indications it attempts to step outside these molds with experimental forays whose forms, (sometimes called mutations)... may nonetheless exhibit their own three-patterned model (such as genetic trisomies)... if not numerically, then geometrically or alternatively... as observed within the corridors of human perceptibility.

Let me again provide one of the foregoing images in order to better start the following short list of examples concerning development from the simple to the more complex, which also describes an evolutionary time line:


A simple illustration of a few examples

  • 1st a single-stranded RNA.
      3 main types: Messenger- Ribosomal- Transfer
  • 2nd a double-stranded DNA.
    • 3 main types: A- B- Z
  • 3rd a triple-conformation of Protein structure such as the important Collagen.

A 3-to-1 ratio appears in RNA and DNA (3 are the same, 1 is different):

  • RNA: Adenosine- Cytosine- Guanine... Uracil
  • DNA: Adenosine- Cytosine- Guanine... Thymine

3 to 1 ratio found in DNA and RNA

With respect to proteins, we see the "3-to-1" displayed as a "1-to-3":

  • Primary structure (conformation) is differentiated from the separate complexities found in the Secondary-Tertiary-Quaternary structures (conformations).

3 bead structure to 3 ribbion structures

The foregoing 3-patterned scenario was eventually followed by the development of 3 Germ layers:

  • 1st, a single germ layer such as the ectoderm (for simple life forms). "mono-ploblastic"
  • 2nd, then 2 germ layers such as the ectoderm/endoderm (for more complex life forms). "di-ploblastic"
  • 3rd, then 3 germ layers such as the ectoderm/mesoderm/endoderm (for the most complex life forms such as humans). "tri-ploblastic"

Advancements in Germ layer differentiation

This is not to say that everything about humans is most complex and thus to be construed as being most advanced. However, we do see that there is a vast array of 3-part structuring taking place with human anatomy, as displayed by this list: List of threes in human anatomy

While there are multiple other examples from biology, let me skip to the development of the brain which is frequently described in a general way as being Triune. It is this structure from which the notion of a consciousness is derived. And it is this structure which highly complex in its usage of multiple ideas involving patterns-of-three... even though it attempts to imaginatively think beyond this pattern by using different labels or compounding singularities and duplicities. One such label is Monism- Dualism- Pluralism. While it is a three-patterned expression, some will argue that the word "pluralism" defines a situation that is more than three, and yet overlook that a pattern-of-three is being used to described a plurality!

Hypothetical scenario of how counting began

one, two, many in chinese numbering system

From a review of the history of counting, we note that humanity's fledgling attempts to construct a counting system can be described with three words noted as "one- two- many". The 3rd place word "many" can be interchangeably labeled pile, heap, much, more, plural, most, bunch, alot, or even some large enumeration such as 10,000. Nonetheless, despite intellectual exercises of flamboyance and exaggeration, the constructs represent an underlying orientation to a 3rd position in the cognitive application of describing perceptual limitations. In other words, we condense and symbolize in order to conform to a largely unrecognized attachment to the use of a 3-part theme, in many cases. Yet, this is referencing a potential developmental trend of capability and not necessarily a certainty of achievement.

Three part structures of brain development in multiple life forms.

In terms of consciousness derived from a brain having developed from a biological history in which a pattern-of-three scenario is evident, it is not a stretch of the imagination to propose the possibility that consciousness may well have the capability to follow a similar developmental course. It is a possibility that has already been considered by multiple others in their respective studies of interest... typically seen in the subjects of religion, metaphysics and Eastern philosophy (such as for example Buddhism). Indeed, it can also be seen that in some instances the way to achieve such a presumed state of exalted consciousness (frequently labeled Enlightenment), is to perform some three-patterned ritual or participate in the view of a 3-part path, or repeat some three-patterned phrase or Mantra. (Such as "OM" with its three letters noted as AUM, where the A and U are fused [coalesced] together.).

With respect to the Christian Trinity, its obvious "three" structure inclines many observers to recognize it as a symbolic reference to the Sun's three phases/moments (dawn- noon- dusk); particularly the point where it is describe as "3 persons in 1 godhead", which symbolically describes the Sun as the originating influence from very ancient times. Yet, let us assume the triplet code of DNA is a similar representation and any notion of "four" is actually a reference to a 3 to 1 ratio such as there being 3 stop codons and 1 start codon, or that both DNA and RNA have the same three amino acids (Adenosine- Cytosine- Guanine), while DNA also has Thymine and RNA has Uracil... thus stating a 3 to 1 ratio, similar to the ratio seen in Mendelian genetics.

3 stops and 1 start codon

Because humanity indulges in the use of exaggeration and flamboyance, using large numbers to reference a cognitively organized third position, the use of some terms can alternatively be used to describe the "Many" placement such as the words "God", "infinity", "Universe", etc...

While humanity has the suggested potential to develop a third consciousness, let us note that it is an expression of the Sun's influence along a course of deterioration, where the influence of the Moon is receding, the Sun is burning out and expanding, and the Earth's rotation is slowing. As such, the realization of the potential to achieve a third consciousness is the realization of a new survival standard which supersedes all religious beliefs, philosophies, and current social/commercial orientations. I must stress that the realization of a 3rd consciousness potential must be removed from the lofted spiritual/sacred/Enlightenment categories ascribed to it by Eastern philosophy and Western religion and viewed in terms of a practical survival mechanism to direct humanity off the Earth, out of the Solar system and away from the Milky way galaxy. The realization that every single resource and effort to achieve humanity's separation from "mother earth" (hence, cutting its traditions of umbilical cord-like attachment), is the practical side of a 3rd consciousness realization.

From the Sun, to Jesus, to the Trinity

While it is observed that the so-called 3 great Monotheistic (single dominant god) religions apparently originated in Desert environments (Christianity- Islam- Judaism), it is not customary for them to be referred to as survival strategies influenced by ancient practices of solar worship that were very important in agrarian settings where the singular notion of "hour" was important, but the later complexities of evolving social/commercial practices yielded a need for the use of minute hands and then second hands on clocks. Nonetheless, such religions were influenced by early solar worship or at least influenced by ideas of solar worship.

The idea of a halo is said to be an artistic metaphor for the brim of a hat worn by pagans working in the fields. In present day interpretations, the word Sun is onomatopoeically connected with the word "son" that is used to describe Jesus as the son of god... and the once god associated dawn-noon-dusk became the Trinity... or 3 in 1 godhead. The referenced "god" was initially associated with the Sun, but religious metaphysicians adulterated the view to make it reference some above-human label of superiority which could not be seen (nor named according to Islamic religious theory). The Sun could not both be God and the Sun since God made the Sun and is not thought to be self-created or born from something even greater... even though the human mind seeks for something greater than that which is, its imagination is limited and not increased simply by the use of a word. For example, since infinity can be described, God can not be infinity but something far superior and is therefore nameless... at least in the minds of some superstitious and imaginatively impoverished individuals whose measure of truth is standardized by their attention, attendance and attitude to some practiced service of tradition.

Similarly, we find different ideologies having sprouted up in different global environments, typically in isolation. And some ideologies such as Buddhism became adopted by distant peoples as being most appropriate for their circumstances. While established religions/philosophies are often perceived as being stronger in terms of viability to assist in helping a person to survive more comfortably if accepted, changing environments due to wars, famines, pestilence, etc., can cause a person to rethink the viability of a given perspective that may be strict and demanding with little flexibility. However, the increasing footfalls of different societies into the lifestyles of once isolated peoples can cause dramatic shifts in belief systems. Yet, such views are well known. I am not saying anything that hasn't been said before... until now.

Stubbornness will only delay the inevitable requirement to alter one's survival strategy as the incremental deteriorations of the Sun- Moon- Earth triplex become more intense in shaping the global environment. There will be a decrease in the multiplicity of separate types of environment which at the present allow for the usage of a variety of belief systems involving superstition, tradition, and myth-influenced fable creation where elements of history are used to support a retention of traditional beliefs that have become systemically used to define multiple other aspects of a given culture such as its laws, commerce, industry, and interpretation of Natural events. Humanity is slowly having to come to terms with the realization that there is a need for a globally adopted survival strategy for the species to increase its chances for evolutionary possibilities to be embraced and sustained. Every single "Binomial" system of orientation, be it called a duality, dichotomy, binary, pairing, or otherwise; will have to be confronted with the face value of its limitations and its self-defeating strategy of dismissiveness when confronted by an increased consciousness of Trichotomization. However, Trichotomization is not an excuse to adopt some notion of multiplicity to effect an argument against binary realities which are a part of a system of Trichotomization. Trichotomization does not exist in isolation from nor is it against binary realities, but organizes them into a respectively larger system of realization as a more promising survival strategy.
