Everything Comes in Threes

Triples and Triads.
Every layered, taxonomic or network model of anything.
1D — The identity of every thing being distinct from not-this-thing and the distinction made.
2D — Levels or layers (in 2D orthogonal to any axis in n-dimensions) come in threes. This layer, the next layer and the interface between the two is the most obvious. But each layer comes in threes — the layer and it’s two interfaces to adjacent layers (network node-edge equivalence). But once you unpick each distinction, it has relationships between the two (or more) things it is distinguishing, etc. Fractally, each component, each identity is a triple.
