If you make a list of ideas, activities, constructs, etc., which express a quantity other than three, and then collect everyone else's list featuring a different number value, you will find not only an overall limitation, but a graph lineage of those which are most used, those that are used less, and the majority of numbers which are not used. For example, we might construct a chart featuring three broad categories:
- All ideas featuring single numbers (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 6, 7, 8, 9)
- All ideas featuring double numbers...
- All ideas featuring triple or more numbers...
While you can find some who focus on double, triple, and quadruple numbers as having significant meaning as expressed by Numerologists, the number associations being used exhibit a conservation. You will not find Encyclopedias of double or triple or more number patterns being referenced. Even if someone expresses the argument of limitless by voicing words such as infinity, Universe, god, imagination, etc... we find that this list is also conserved. Yes there are a variety... even a supposed infinity available to us, such views come to occupy the "Many" position in a primitive's counting system of three words: One- Two- Many. Overall there are 3 words but some prefer to focus on the "Many" as if to enable them to not (appear) to be cognitively limited. The same goes for the words creativity, originality of thought, imagination, limitless, etc...
Upon using any number as an attempted introductory theoretical framework of cognitive (and other) activity, the quality and quantity of examples being collected may at sometime press the cataloguer to reflect upon their collection and realize there appears to be a limitation and if labeled a Conservation, it is inevitable that we also consider the idea the lists are occurring in a closed system... and that within this system may well reside the originating influence(s) for the listings. Like Darwin's finches, though there are what some might colloquially describe as being "lots of them" or "a bunch of them", the Galapagos islands were, in effect, a rather closed system creating a condition which imposed the necessity of limitation as a survival mechanism, even if a given researcher were personally overwhelmed by such a quantity and quality that they had not elsewhere experienced before. A similar experience may be wrought if someone steps into a field filled with flowers or they pay witness to the murmurations of starlings. Yet, different people have different levels of sensitivity and experiences (or lack thereof), and might well be easily, moderately or not at all moved. Some people are awed by the sight of fireworks, though they may have seen them on multiple occasions. Whereas you might want to use the word desensitivity or callousness for a given circumstance, the point is, with respect to a collection of "threes", or twos, or sevens, etc., most lists are not improved on. Similarly, though there were numerous Naturalists all collecting different types of specimens, we know of only those in the era of Darwin who were thinking in terms of Evolution... even though there may have been multiple others who didn't publicly share their ideas for whatever reason.
With all the different types of collections of different life forms, the idea of evolution, like the idea of a single god, were formulated in relatively isolated cultural settings. (The idea of Evolution [with evidence] in England and the concept of a single god [due to mere belief] emerged in a desert environment.) However, the use of limitation in thinking was also evident in the labeling of the vertebrate limb as The Pentadactyl Limb. In short, Darwin (and others) focused on the five digits (fingers/toes) instead of the overall frame illustrating a 1 large bone- 2 intermediate bones- Many small bones. In addition, it has been described that early evolution describes digits emerging in lobed fins of early tetrapods, as being polydactylous. One must wonder if the Polydactylous condition in the distant past was not linked to the radial body form seen in the several limbed Octopi and starfish.
When speaking of basic body plans of animals, we find the use of three types:
An investigation into the minutia of developmental processes to identify the origin of what constitutes the basic body plan and how did later body plans of more complex life forms arose. Interestingly, a pattern-of-three idea is employed:
One fundamental question in biology is what constitutes the basic type of the animal body plan and how did all the more complex forms, including that of humans, evolve from it. At the simplest level, this body plan can be described by the three axes. These three axes -- the familiar X, Y and Z axes from geometry -- are the anterior-posterior axis, which determines the position of the mouth in front and the anus at the rear, the dorsal-ventral axis, which in vertebrates separates the front of the body from the back, and the left-right axis, which creates a mirror-like symmetry of our extremities and left-right asymmetry of the organs.

If we correlate another 3-based body plan types with the 3 Germ Layers, we come up with the following 3 associations:
For those readers not familiar with the aforementioned 3 Axis:

It is of some interest to note that the primitive sponge also has 3 body plans:
Interestingly, though one might come away by the idea that the 3 sponge body types exhibit an evolutionary progression, it is otherwise thought that all three arose independently: Hydrodynamics of sponge pumps and evolution of the sponge body plan.
If early naturalists, linguists, geologists, herbalists/"apothecarists", metalurgists, etc., had not made their collections, despite any forceful opposition or rolling eye glances from friends, family, colleagues and other professionals in their day and age, we would not have the sciences, philosophy, mathematics, art, theater, military strategy, sports, religion, commerce, education systems, technology, political structures, etc., we have today— for better or worse. No less, someone(s) needs to put those collections together and attempt to create some encompassing philosophy which allows for testability.

- It is used to categorize three common characteristics that Satanic sects share (compare with
cults, wicca, paganism, gangs... some music groups, theater/Ballet ensembles, sports clubs, criminal organizations, "normalized" corporations, government
entities or their subordinate players, etc...):
- An interest in magic (magical thinking/imagination), played out as psychodrama or mystical events (which may include financial/commerce related events).
- The creation of a community that defines membership roles as both people who share a mystical pursuit and those who live according to a set of religious (routinized) tenets (which may also have a particularized dress code).
- A philosophy that thrives on non-conformity (or enforced conformity to their views).
- It is associated with the 3 Major born-in-the-desert religions who believe in the Devil as an actual entity and not merely a word to describe evil:
- Christianity worships a belief in One God, Evil manifested as an entity called the Devil, Satan, etc..., and Angels able to intercede in human affairs.
- Islam Christianity worships a belief in One God, Evil manifested as an entity called the Devil, Satan, etc..., and Angels able to intercede in human affairs.
- Judaism worships a belief in One God, Evil manifested as an entity called the Devil, Satan, etc..., and Angels able to intercede in human affairs.

- It is the 3rd number in the Fibonacci Sequence
and accounts for the enumeration of the entire sequence. (Each number is the sum of the previous two numbers.)- 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55...
- The next number is found by adding up the two numbers before it:
- The 2 is the sum found by adding the two numbers before it (1+1).
- The 3 is the sum found by adding the two numbers before it (1+2),
- The 5 is the sum found by adding the two numbers before it (2+3),
- and so on!
- It is a value associated with early folk medicine regarding 3
distinct poisonous plants:
(The expression "leaves of three, let them be" is an historical refrain regarding the 3 plants.)
- Poison Oak
- Poison Sumac
- Poison Ivy
- Is is a value associated with the categories of plants based on photosynthesis:
- C3 plants (C3 photosynthesis is the predominant way plants will take in carbon dioxide and produce carbohydrates.) ... comprise about 85% of all plant species...
- C4 plants comprise about 3% of plants
- CAM plants (crassulacean acid metabolism), comprise about 8% of all plants
- It is a value defining the 3 Stages of Photosynthesis:
- Stage 1: Harvesting Radiant Energy; When a beam of sunlight hits a green, leafy plant, the process of photosynthesis is set in motion.
- Stage 2: Converting Radiant Energy; After radiant energy from sunlight is absorbed, the plant converts light energy into a usable form of chemical energy to fuel the plant's cells.
- Stage 3: Storing Radiant Energy; The last stage of the photosynthesis process is known as the Calvin-Benson cycle, in which the plant uses atmospheric carbon dioxide and water from soil to convert ATP and NADPH. The chemical reactions that make up the Calvin-Benson cycle occur in the stroma of the chloroplast. This stage of the process of photosynthesis is light-independent and can happen even at night. The first step of photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells.
- It is a value associated with a 3-color photosynthesis orientation; (...Photosynthetic organisms specifically use a subpart called PAR
(Photosynthetically Active Radiation; PAR ranges from 400-760nm.):
- Blue light is 470-500nm.
- Red light is 660-760nm).
- Green light (500-580nm) is reflected back by the plants and this is the reason that plants appear green in color.
- It is a value associated with 3 cellular energy systems; (Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the
most important high-energy compound used in reactions essential to life, such as nucleic acid synthesis, protein synthesis, and muscle contraction:
- AMP (Adenosine - mono - Phosphate)
- ADP (Adenosine - di - Phosphate)
- ATP (Adenosine - tri - Phosphate; Most important energy source)
- It is a sequential representation seen in a three-phase pattern of gas exchange often observed in adult and diapausing pupal insects:
- Closed (spiracles are closed, no gas exchange occurs);
- Flutter (spiracles are closed except for brief periods of spiracular opening during which oxygen uptake occurs and variable amounts of carbon dioxide and water vapor are emitted);
- Open (spiracles are open and gas exchange rates are high).
- It is a value associated directly and indirectly in
3 stages of cellular respiration:
- Stage 1; Glycolysis.
- Stage 2; Tricarboxylic acid cycle (aka the Krebs cycle, and the citric acid cycle.
- Stage 3; Electron transport.
- It is seen in the 3 steps of the Calvin Cycle involving the production of
glyceraldehydes-5-phosphate (G-3-P)... after which glucose is formed:
- Carboxylation: Acceptance of CO2 by RuBP which is a 5-carbon compound and the CO2-acceptor). 2 molecules of 3-phosphoglycerate are generated as the result of the carboxylation process.
- Reduction: Generation of 3C/4C/5C/6C/7C molecules.
- Regeneration of RUBP: 3 molecules of RuBP are regenerated.
- In totality, 3 molecules of CO2 produce 1 molecule of G-3-P. This uses 9 ATPs and 6 NADPHs. And, 6 molecules of CO2 produce 2 molecules of G-3-P which further produce 1 molecule of glucose. This uses 18ATPs and 12 NADPHs. (The main enzyme is RuBisCo)
- Endomorph; has large bones and a higher percentage of body fat than other metabolic types. The endomorph has evolved to be good at storing nutrients–a desirable characteristic in cold, harsh climates where people may be holed up for long periods.
- Ectomorph; is that annoying person who can seemingly eat anything and never gain a pound. However, it can also be very difficult for an ectomorph to gain muscle when they want to, as these people are usually defined by being skinny.
- Mesomorph; in the strictest sense, is the metabolic type that most people want to have. However, only about 10% of the population is true mesomorphs. When thinking about mesomorphs, think about the mythical Greek God physique.
- It can be used to categorize 3 important plant pigments:
- Chlorophyll-a: Its primary function is absorbing sunlight and converting it into chemical energy. It captures photons and uses their energy to initiate a series of electron transfers.
- Chlorophyll-b The green pigment which is responsible for collecting light energy and passing into chlorophyll A during photosynthesis is called
- chlorophyll B. It is found in plants and green algae.
- Cartenoids; vital for life.
- The carotenoids found in fruit, such as the red of tomato (lycopene), the yellow of corn seeds (zeaxanthin), or the orange of an orange peel (ß-carotene), are used to attract seed-dispersing organisms. In photosynthesis, carotenoids function as photosynthetic pigments that are very efficient molecules for the disposal of excess energy. When a leaf is exposed to full sun, the light-dependent reactions are required to process an enormous amount of energy; if that energy is not handled properly, it can do significant damage. Therefore, many carotenoids are stored in the thylakoid membrane to absorb excess energy and safely release that energy as heat.
