with respect to the items being listed as examples.

Note: prior to and after Hitler came to power, the "3rd Reich" was one of several "3s" which became sacrosanct. Another was the German Belt Buckle with the three-part phrase of "Gott Mitt Uns" (God With Us). Interestingly, one might even cite Hilter's "555" membership number in the German party, only because it was necessary to inflate the membership role to give the impression of increasing advocay. Those who study World War II, and use number values as a tool for making lists and comparisons, might well tell you that World War II involved numerous ("collectively oriented") patterns-of-three or other patterns which provide a tell-tale underlying indication of how the conflicts increased in the values of numbers and how they can be catalogued into columnar displays involving concentrations of repeating values. In short the "3" was prominent such as:

  • 3 axis powers (Germany - Italy - Japan)
  • 3 allied powers (Britain - Russia - USA)
  • 3rd Reich...
    1. 1st Reich: the medieval and early modern Holy Roman Empire of 800 to 1806.
    2. 2nd Reich: the German Empire from 1871 to 1918.
    3. 3rd Reich: official Nazi designation for the regime in Germany from January 1933 to May 1945. ("Third Reich." (2013). Encyclopædia Britannica.)

Cognitively speaking, the "3rd" Reich was a big deal. But not every "3" acquires the same level of cognitive distinction on a global and historical scale. Some "3" events are mentioned as an attribute but not as a title, such as the Rosetta stone having three scripts but the usage of a "3" is not prominent. In other words, no one says "Rosetta Stone 3," but it is used when describing multiple fairy tales and rhymes for children such as the 3 bears, 3 pigs, 3 kittens lost their mittens, etc... However, with the 3 sometimes used as a reference in conjunction with the term "Power" such as in the "power of three," it is not used when describing the use of the 3rd finger of one's hand. Instead, we say "give them the middle finger" but do not routinely say "give them the 3rd finger." Another example is when people refer to the Christian Trinity. You don't hear anyone using the language of "Christian 3". While the Trinity does have three components, the word "trinity" and not "3" is the usual linguistic preferance. Hence, using the "3" in given contexts can provide an attentuation of power, mystique, and even pique curiousty.

These are examples of a small mathematic of cognitive brain functioning. There appears to be no large mathematic counterpart. Humanity seems unable to move into such an arena of conceptualization. Please note I said "unable" and not "incapable". There is a very noticeable conservation of number taking place that I believe is being imposed on all life forms inhabiting Earth due to the incremental deteriorations of the relationships of the Sun, Earth and Moon, which require life forms to adapt to them as a survival mechanism in the face of dwindling resources. And it is only going to get worse, whereby the "threes" phenomean will become more prominent.

In other words it is the exhibition of a conservation of conceptualization with a routine occupation of human behavior that has temporarily moved into a "triplet state" of functionality but as opposed to earlier centuries, does not fall completely back into a singlet... peaceful state; but instead is maintained in a hyper-active, hyper-sensitive and hyper-vigilant doublet (duality/binary) state of excitability— poised to transition into a triplet state (of increased energy output) more easily, but can not be sustained due to the environment and human physiology as it presently navigates its reality. Hence, while a war may be used as an analogy for expressing a 3rd state of attempted sustained existence, it eventually falls back to a singlet/doublet level until something jumps starts the process to begin anew.

However, as the three planetary bodies (Sun, Earth, Moon) deteriorate further with a concomittant decrease in resources for human usage, the situation will drastically change. We should see multiple more attempts to reach and sustain some "three" orientation which may well be concealed in a confluence that I descrive as a three-into-one condition, such as is expressed in such examples as buy three tires get one free, three persons in one godhead, 3 engines in one space shuttle, three rings on one finger, using three fingers to eat with, using three fingers to hold a pen or pencil, the use of a comma after every third group of numbers in notation (after hundreds, after thousands, etc...).

I bring up this point because we can see an increase in the value of "three" (in different variations) being used in different engagements and other activities which will come to bear if their is a global conflict taking place today. For example, China, Israel, the U.S. and Germany have all expressed an interest in using a missile labeled with a 3, despite other armaments not having such a designation. In World War II the "3" value became prominent even if no Journalist or Historian verbally acknowledged the connection to the public, other than repeatedly saying "Third Reich," Third Army Division, big Three Axis and Allied leaders, etc...

Very often we find so-called professionals afraid to engage in a public acknowledgement of a recurrence if it involves a particular pattern that is often ridiculed by Mathematicians as being Numerology (and not up to the supposed standard that they think represents actual mathematics); and belittled by Psychologists and Psychiatrists as an activity to be described as either obsessive-compulsiveness or some projected manifestation of an underlying neuroses. Because numbers are often used by activities involving questionable (Esoteric, Alternative philosophical, Religious) ideas by past thinkers whose views have been brought into question multiple times, there is a leaning towards —first and foremost— discriminating against the use of numbers if it is outside the typical purview of their "advanced," "modern," "complexified," ideological practices of their profession. Even though we can find multiple ideas with a distinct "three-patterned" value in mathematics, psychology, and other subjects, such a recurrence doesn't warrant further investigation because the professionals in such fields do not know how address the issue without falling into some religious, numerological, or metaphysical trappings. Very often they allow the views given by others as a means to add their name to the list of those who routinely prefer to apply some derogatory label.

It is of need then to submit... let us say, a suggestion... that those Mathematicians and Psychologists as well as others who depreciate those engaged in research such as myself, are not appreciably conversant in the topic of "threes" due to a lack of knowledge about a subject (admittedly) still in its infancy of development. Their routine appraisals, assessments and attitudinal claims (often based on what others in their profession have said) are thus a declaration of their ignorance... which means the whole of their foundations should be scrutinized; particularly when we find that they exhibit a fundamental binary orientation commensurate with the old Yin/Yang enterprise. For example, if we look at the foundational structures of both mathematics and psychology, we see that they can be compared quite easily with the old yin/yang list of dichotomies. Indeed, while it is widely known that there is the issue of a persistent use of dichotomies in psychology, those in psychology are failing to recognize just how wide-spread this is in other subjects, much less consider it as an example of a cognitive orientation in a larger set of patterning... to one degree or another such as the binary code usage in computers and the Binomial Nomenclature of "genus and species" developed by Carolus Linnaeus in the 1700s.

What I am thinking at this period of investigation is that the cognitive structuring of human perception has and is developing along a sequential path which can be identified numerically, just as we might apply enumeration to the three Germ layers, where we differentiate more complex life forms with three layers and more simplified life forms with two and even one germ layer; though the one germ layer situation may not now have a distinctively clear biological representation... though I consider sponges a good animal candidate. If we place examples of the yin/yang, psychology, mathematics and computer language side by side or at least in close proximity to one another, a viewer can more easily appreciate the existence and persistence of human usage thereof. I do so in a section labeled "Three Vs Two" towards the end of the poster on this page.

While some people wonder why the Chinese appear to be more adept at doing Mathematics than their Western peer groups, not only is it because of their more dedicated work ethic in this regard, but also because they have a culture with a culturally prominent history of using a two-pattern (yin/yang) philosophy. They simply need to find the parallel juncture of equanimity between one style of dichotomy and another style. Instead of the Western countries adopting a particularly prominent realization of a "threes" presence, they permit such an ideology to retain antiquated correlations such as the threes in fairytales, threes in religion, and threes associated with trios of cartoon characters. It's either this or western philosophy wants to enforce ensnarment by claiming a three-part structure such as in syllogisms... which I prefer to call sillygisms. Western Mathematicians, Psychologists, Theologians, Philosophers and others enforce the adoption of the idea that a "threes" philosophy is either specialized or esoterically rationalized. They will use one and develop for an "in house" speciality but never permit, encourage or even suggest there is value in such a study... because they do not broaden their appreciation of how varied and wide-spread such a pattern is actually being used. If it can't be explained primarily by their subject matter, then it doesn't matter to them. Their academically trained field of study does not permit taking in a multitude of seemingly disparate ideas... albeit with a similar pattern, and allowing the presence of such to be explained with just a minor portion of their interest. If something is to be of interest, it must use their professions tools of investigation as the primary source of elucidation.

The Culture which adopts a bona fide "threes" philosophy as a pervasive model of ideological consideration outside the ridiculous trappings of religions, superstition, gaming, recreation, military, political and business strategies, etc., will be more readily prepared when a ternary computer system unfolds that enables an unprecedented level and activity of artificial intelligence, and along with it a factual ternary (trinary) model of mathematics and psychology. It is a philosophy which will be more adept at helping humans to survive as resources deplete to levels where disparities will create conflicting strategies of survival, just as we see occurring in multiple forms and formulas at rather meek levels in the present early 21st century world. Humanity has not yet collectively witnessed with first hand, day-to-day experiences the effects of constraints imposed by severe restrictions in resources which can not be replenished. But such instances have and do occur in Nature. The laws of conservation are one example of how the Universe has had to progress due to restrictions in resources. The use of one or more binary philosophies will not provide the necessary cognitive tools of adaptability which will be needed.

If we accept the premise that human perception is valid, then the value of three being used in Particle Physics (3 families of fundamental particles), Biology (Triplet code of DNA/RNA and three Germ Layers), Anatomy (3s in human anatomy) and Planetary activity (3 laws of planetary Motion), not to mention humanity's presence on the 3rd planet; then we must conclude that Nature itself is either a Numerologist and/or needs Psychological intervention because of its obsessive... if not compulsive usage of a "3" pattern that humanity is at present out of step with (yet try's acquiring the prestige, power and manifest presence thereof in different ways); but will be forced into using, as more resources become depleted in-line with the deteriorating relationships amongst the Sun, Earth and Moon. (These planetary bodies are having an incremental falling out in their declining years, so to speak. Hence, the need for humanity to sever the umbilical cord of antiquated "Mother Earth" orientations and leave the nest like most life forms tend to do.)

Not only should humanity see an increase in "3s" usage as time passes, but an increase in the fusion... the coalescence of such a pattern such as in the Trinitarian view that there are "3 persons in 1 god" or 3 engines in 1 space shuttle, etc... Yep, the three moments of the Sun are on a path of "fusing" together and along with them, any and all things which have come to be directly or indirectly influenced by the event due to the slowing of the Earth's rotation and the expansion of the Sun itself, if not solar irradiations.

Resources were and continue to be at a minimum; (with a descending arc), when we take into consideration such examples as:

  • The formation (structure and extent) of basic Nuclear particles. (The value "3" is formidable, such as Protons-Neutrons-Electrons, 1/3 fractioning, 3 quarks/anti-quarks, etc...)
  • The Formation of. (Conservation of energy, mass (or matter), linear momentum, angular momentum, and electric charge.)
  • The Formation of a Conservation of Number in Particle physics... though possibly applicable elsewhere. Even though this idea is far removed from the consciousness of present day physicists... though they work with fractions when dealing with particles, the phrase "conservation of number" is not on their radar screen of perceptual queries, because it would thus require using ideas from other subjects to place it into a greater context of valuation.
  • The formation of matter. (Human physiology lives with solids, such as food; liquids, such as water; gases, such as breathing in oxygen and flatuating methane gas. While there is plasma, I don't see anyone rolling around in it, much less eating, drinking or breathing it.) In fact, one might add that because most vehicles use a liquid fuel, humanity's state of technological development is still in its infancy... requiring to be bottle-fed. While a rocket may use solid fuel, not the day-to-day grocery getter.
  • The formation of elements. (We have a measly 118 at the present time of investigation. Why so few if there is not an active conservation taking place? In addition, there was and is a continuing interest in using a Triadic formula for the chemical elements.
  • The formation of the Universe. (Why are binary systems foremost being articulated by Astronomers, and not some other numerical-related value?) {A high proportion, perhaps one-half, of all stars in the Milky Way Galaxy are binaries or members of more complex multiple systems. "binary star." (2013). Encyclopædia Britannica.}
  • The formation of the Universe's shape is thought to be (one or more) of three forms. (positive, negative, flat curvature)
  • The Temperature of Outer Space is approximately 3 degrees.
  • The formation of Three Dimensions. (Time and other creatively constructed dimensional geometries are discursive extensions thereof.)
  • The formation of the Earth. (As the 3rd planet).
  • The formation of Water. (3 Molecules: H2O)
  • The formation of the Triplet/Singlet atomic states of molecular activity.
  • The formation of Oxygen. (The Great Oxygen Event ...GOE... is often singularly discussed. We have O, O2, O3.
    • The ground state of molecular oxygen is very unusual in that it is a triplet; hence, it can accept electronic energy from more-energetic triplet states of other molecules in a process called quenching (as in the case of the space shuttle wing described above). When this occurs, the donor molecule begins in its triplet state and undergoes a change in spin to its singlet ground state. The molecular oxygen begins in its triplet ground state and also changes spin to a singlet excited state. Because the total spin between the two molecules is unchanged, the transfer of energy can occur rapidly and efficiently. "photochemical reaction." (2013). Encyclopædia Britannica.
  • The Formation of the Atmosphere's composition: (Although debate continues about its earliest introduction.) The composition is relatively simple, although a considerable number of gases may be present in small amounts. Almost 99 percent consists of oxygen and nitrogen, with argon making up most of the remainder. Carbon dioxide, essential for plant life, is present in an extremely small amount. ("chemical element." (2013). Encyclopædia Britannica.)
  • The formation of complex life. (By way of a triplet code and 3 maturationally developing Germ Layers.)
  • The formation of a cellular energy source involves three distinct nucleotides. (At any given moment, therefore, a living cell contains AMP (adenosine-mono[1]-phosphate), ADP (adenosine-di[2]-phosphate) and ATP (adenosine-tri[3]-phosphate); the relative proportion of the three nucleotides provides an index of the energy state of the cell. "metabolism." (2013). Encyclopædia Britannica.)
  • The formation of human anatomy is replete with patterns-of-three, not to mention the multiple triadic considerations.
  • The Usage of the value "Pi" is approximately 3.14. (Which also is Einstein's Birthday at March 14th.)
  • The Value of the American Government's debt is now in the Trillions. Being a Trillionaire is the objective of some financial orientations.
  • The formation of all Languages apparently has a Tri-modal structure consisting of Subject- Object- Verb, but not necessarily in this word order.

  • ETC...

And for those readers who say they could make a similar list of another pattern, by all means... do so and let me know what it is. I will present it and give you full credit. And also, please fully note that your list is an expressed conservation as well, whether or not you attribute it to declining resources in terms of being part of a survival strategy within the scope of "diminishing returns" whose frequently used definition is being applied in the present context outside the scope of mere economics.

For example:


Diminishing returns, (also called law of diminishing returns or principle of diminishing marginal productivity):

(An) economic law stating that if one input in the production of a commodity is increased while all other inputs are held fixed, a point will eventually be reached at which additions of the input yield progressively smaller, or diminishing, increases in output.

In the classic example of the law, a farmer who owns a given acreage of land will find that a certain number of labourers will yield the maximum output per worker. If he should hire more workers, the combination of land and labour would be less efficient because the proportional increase in the overall output would be less than the expansion of the labour force. The output per worker would therefore fall. This rule holds in any process of production unless the technique of production also changes.

Early economists, neglecting the possibility of scientific and technical progress that would improve the means of production, used the law of diminishing returns to predict that as population expanded in the world, output per head would fall, to the point where the level of misery would keep the population from increasing further. In stagnant economies, where techniques of production have not changed for long periods, this effect is clearly seen. In progressive economies, on the other hand, technical advances have succeeded in more than offsetting this factor and in raising the standard of living in spite of rising populations.

"diminishing returns." (2013). Encyclopædia Britannica.

Yet, look at the social problems which have been wrought by this binary perspective and application so very typical of standard Economics.

The width and Length of the Homepage II 3s (Black poster) collection was stopped at 993/30000, just as I had with the first collection, though I wanted to continue it as well. I do so with the present addition on this page. Again, please do not consider that I advocate any of the ideas being exhibited as examples. I have not read any of the books with a "three" title other than perhaps some short review. Nor do I follow a particular view being expressed by this or that protest group, religion, alternate ideology, etc... I am collecting examples whether or not a given reader finds some example(s) offensive, irrelevant, etc., to their beliefs. It should also be noted that I may duplicate some example such as the 3 Macbeth witches, when I find what I think is a better picture than a previous one used, or some previous information did not contain an image.

Images are necessary since many people browse information by looking for pictures, such as when flipping through a magazine while sitting in a Doctor's office. Religious texts are famous for being absent of using pictures as a medium of communication, because, it appears, the God of different religions uses word of mouth signs and symbols like in the augury of birds, entrails, insect behavior, etc... However, one might argue that art in the past was conveyed in crafts, tools, clothing, meal preparation, burial rites, jewelry, etc., even if they were not explicitly defined in terms of having a relationship with some religion. There are many pattern-of-three images which one might offer as examples. Yet, one person's art is another person's trash. Like music, the reader might consider one image better than another or a group of others, so offering different examples of the same information from time to time is not necessarily repetition in terms of forgetfulness, but more to the point of providing an alternative perspective that may catch a person's eye at a given moment.

As with the lists on the previous two pages, I will update the following list from time to time as time permits. In any case, if you are interested in threes research, you should keep a copy of the different pages at this site and others, since a given author or website could expire without notice. If I expire and you visit m grave site, please make sure some type of "three" headstone or other attribute is being displayed. However, my preference is to be placed into outer space so that I can be revived by some future civilization or individual in order that I might continue my threes research.

A short and much abbreviated timeline on threes development


One might say that I am an amateur collector of bones and artefacts of the human mind. While some subjects appear to have multiple examples, others have fewer. Yet, it should be stated that we of the present do not know which... if any of today's subjects will be used in the deep future. However, these particular items all have a similar structure involving a three pattern, or make reference as to being an inclusive 3 pattern such as when one claims that while the Earth is the 3rd planet from the Sun, it is not a pattern-of-three in itself. Like those of the present having origins in the past, their shape and usage today does not mean they will be of any value for the system of survival needed in the future. This, for example, is why one might assume, is the reason that the Old Testament of the Bible needed to be updated with a New Testament that may itself at some time be updated with a Newer Testament. because all religious texts are little more than made-up codes and guidelines to be used as survival handbooks in a deteriorating environment, under the guidance of those who charge a fee called tithing. Revisions take place and additions are added to adjust to changing conditions which continue to deteriorate. Yet, if a given text is perfect, there should be no need for revision or an update. Indeed, one might further argue about the supposed sanctity of a text when its main character such as Jesus and Mohammed did not themselves write anything, perhaps because both of them are products of human imagination like so many myths, legends and fairytales presenting different modes, models and mechanisms of dichotomy, (good/bad, darkness/light, peace/destruction, etc...), just as one would expect from a primitive childish mind.

While some readers may think it odd, quirky, an expressed Obsessive/Compulsive order to collect "threes" examples, it is not difficult to see that it is in the act, if not art of collecting that ALL serious studies have taken their cue. For example, where would anthropology be if no one had ever collected bones? Or how about collecting the different ideas of mathematics or flowers or the items which Darwin and his contemporaries indulged in? What if no one collected medical ideas or ideas labeled as religion, philosophy or Astronomy? Whose to say what the end result will be in some future setting with respect to a collection of threes... contrasted to other patterns? If one looks at the (abbreviated) definitions about several subjects (that I culled from the Britannica), I very easily see how they pertain to the phenomena of threes. A short review might be of service to some readers, as well as some simple renderings of the Three in context. While the associations may not be what you want to describe as representing a given subject, there is something familiar with the connections:

  1. Sociology: a social science that studies human societies, their interactions, and the processes that preserve and change them.
    • The "Three" is preserved because it plays a recurring role, such as in the 3 traditional classes (Upper - Middle - Lower); 3 traditional Races (African - Asian - Caucasian), etc... (And despite those who cite more than three for whatever reason, the examples remain as valid examples of Historical cognitive processing.)
  2. Psychology: scientific discipline that studies psychological and biological processes and behaviour in humans and other animals.
    • Why has a given number taken up root in your psyche and another not so? The typical impulse to define and describe Threes Collecting as "obsessive-compulsive," doesn't adequately address this behavior, since many professionals are collectors in their respective field of interest.
  3. Anthropology: “the science of humanity,” which studies human beings in aspects ranging from the biology and evolutionary history of Homo sapiens to the features of society and culture that decisively distinguish humans from other animal species.
    • The "Three" is very much a sustained feature of many societies and cultures, used in multiple disciplines in multiple ways. Cultural Anthropology attempts to do so do not place the different contents of number interests in different cultures in any other area except to toss it into a bin similar to hairdos, clothing and similar types of cultural applications.
  4. Mathematics: the science of structure, order, and relation that has evolved from elemental practices of counting, measuring, and describing the shapes of objects. It deals with logical reasoning and quantitative calculation, and its development has involved an increasing degree of idealization and abstraction of its subject matter.
    • The "Three" has structure, order and relation. It is used in logical reasoning as well as rationalization.
  5. Physics: science that deals with the structure of matter and the interactions between the fundamental constituents of the observable universe.
    • The "Three" is... as a matter of fact, used extensively in physics such as the three basic particles, three families of fundamental particles, 3 laws of motion, etc...
  6. Biology: study of living things and their vital processes. The field deals with all the physiochemical aspects of life. As a result of the modern tendency to unify scientific knowledge and investigation, however, there has been an overlapping of the field of biology with other scientific disciplines.
    • The "Three" is, in a sense, alive... like a symbiotic organism. It grows, dies, is adaptive, mutates... it has been incorporated into the DNA structure as a triplet code. No less, it is as much alive as a virus that is not considered to be alive.
  7. Archeology: the scientific study of the material remains of past human life and activities. These include human artifacts from the very earliest stone tools to the man-made objects that are buried or thrown away in the present day: everything made by human beings—from simple tools to complex machines, from the earliest houses and temples and tombs to palaces, cathedrals, and pyramids.
    • The "three" is an artifact, as well as a working tool.
  8. Chemistry: the science that deals with the properties, composition, and structure of substances (defined as elements and compounds), the transformations they undergo, and the energy that is released or absorbed during these processes. Every substance, whether naturally occurring or artificially produced, consists of one or more of the hundred-odd species of atoms that have been identified as elements.
    • The "Three" represents substance.
  9. Education: discipline that is concerned with methods of teaching and learning in schools or school-like environments as opposed to various non-formal and informal means of socialization (e.g., rural development projects and education through parent-child relationships).
    • For example, the usage of the "Rule of Three" as an educational method.)
  10. Linguistics: the scientific study of language. The word was first used in the middle of the 19th century to emphasize the difference between a newer approach to the study of language that was then developing and the more traditional approach of philology. The differences were and are largely matters of attitude, emphasis, and purpose.
    • Apparently the "Three" is used in all Languages, and in some measures is an expressed symbolic language itself. No less, we find it in word order.

The following list contains a handful of named individuals or entities having the assigned title of "III" or the 3rd. It is not meant to be exhaustive only a sampling. It was culled from the Encyclopæia Britannica Ultimate Reference Suite, 2013. I simply put in the "III" as a search reference and then went to each selection individually to gather a bit more information. There are 100 examples in this selection. No doubt the reader could assign more examples to it. And yes, I realize there are those who will argue that some people have I, II, IV, V, or more behind their name to indicate they are first, second, fourth, etc., in their family or associations line. However, such readers fail to recognize the absence of very large numerical values being attached to names.

For Example, while we see Ptolemy I through Ptolemy XV (1st through the 15th), and the Ptolemaic Dynasty existing for approximately 300 years, this, thus far in human history, is the exception and not the rule by which humans engage in playing out their different social narratives. Most often the numerical value is below X (10). An exception to note is that of Roman Catholic Popes. In any respect, the point to make is that we do not routinely use large numbers for most of our day-to-day references. I think this is representative of a FORCED mandate of conservation dictated by the ongoing incremental deterioration of the planet, solar system, and galaxy. It's not that larger numbers do not exist for us to use, it is just that they aren't used by Nature either. For example, there are about 118 Natural (not man-made) chemical elements in the Periodic table of elements for the Entire Universe, as far as we know in this day and age from our Earth-bound perspective. Not hundreds and hundreds and hundreds. A measly handful.

The same goes for life existing on one planet in this solar system and not all of them. It's a conservation we are being FORCED to comply with as a survival mechanism. If I am correct in terms of my current assessment, humanity should see an increased usage of conservation to the extent many of the "three" ideas will be fused to produce a singularity, just as the Sun's three phases (or moments, called dawn-noon- dusk), will continue to "fuse" as the Sun expands and the Earth's rotation slows, as the moon recedes. The three will become one, just is as characterized by the 3-in-1 persons idea of Christian theology whose practitioners do not realize their idea was born from solar worship. Their idea of the Trinity is a symbolic gesture of a Natural event derived from very early Nature worshippers... or at least Nature attendees called Pagans. Whereas it is thought nice for some to want to keep this one type of image in mind, it should be noted that humans are adept at using symbols... which involved substitutions, one of which is to use the word "many" for the value 3...or more. Hence, we find the old numbering system phrase of "1- 2- Many" or used as a phrase by the American government written as "Out of Many, one" [or "One out of Many"] (Seen in Latin as E Pluribus Unum). Yep, out of the "many" comes the "one." It is an indication of how Nature can influence the ideas of humans and yet humans do not actually know what is being taught to them. For the most part, Americans are oblivious to the connection between the expression and the actual impetus. It has nothing whatsoever to do with their Business, Government or Religious nonsense. It is Nature telling humans how it is to be affected as part of the changing survival requirements.


Again, here are a list of "threes" examples that typically reference a title such as a King or Pope. Notice that we do not have enumerations running into the hundreds... which is a tell-tale sign of the limitation in cognitive activity I have spoken elsewhere about. Just as there is a growing acknowledgement in the physical abilities of humans as witnessed in those sports (such as the Olympics) which record strength, endurance, speed, etc., it is becoming evident that human physiology has limitations. This may well carry over into mental, visual and constructive (as well as destructive) capacities, though some would argue that through electro-mechanical or genetic modifications humans could be more than they presently are; the heavy burden of an ongoing environmental (Sun, Moon, Earth) degradation(s) is forcing humanity into a tighter and tighter circle due to diminishing resources. It is apparent that humanity's best course is to use ALL RESOURCES to remove the species from the planet. My view, again, is that humanity has just over 300 years (form 2023) to get off the Earth, another 333 years to get out of the solar system and another 333 years to remove itself from the Milky Way Galaxy.

  1. Amenhotep III, (king of Egypt), also called Amenophis III; reigned 1390–53 BCE, in a period of peaceful prosperity, who devoted himself to expanding diplomatic contacts and to extensive building in Egypt and Nubia.
  2. Adrian III, Saint (pope), also known as Hadrian III; pope from 884 to 885.
  3. Agis III (king of Sparta); Spartan king (338–331) who rebelled unsuccessfully against Alexander the Great. A member of the Eurypontid house (one of the two royal families of Sparta), Agis succeeded to the throne of his father, Archidamus III.
  4. Ahmed III (Ottoman sultan); sultan of the Ottoman Empire from 1703 to 1730.

Effective power in France had long been wielded by the Carolingian mayors of the palace, but the revolt that followed the death of Charles Martel in 741 made it wise for his sons Carloman and Pippin III the Short, in 743, to place Childeric III, a Merovingian of questionable legitimacy, on the Frankish throne, which had been vacant since 737, so that they could dissemble their authority behind his name. Carloman entered a monastery in 747, and, when Pippin felt sufficiently secure to have himself elected king of the Franks (751), Childeric was deposed, tonsured, and confined in the monastery of Sithiu (St. Bertin), near Saint-Omer.

After continually trying to represent her marriage as invalid, his frivolous consort, Marguerite-Louise d'Orléans, finally abandoned him in 1675 and went back to France. The humiliations that he had to endure in order to keep Tuscany neutral in the European conflicts of the age of Louis XIV were barely compensated by his navy's share in Francesco Morosini's victories over the Turks (1684). When his brother and his two sons proved childless, Cosimo and his brilliant minister Carlo Rinuccini had to envisage the extinction of his dynasty and even proposed, at one point, that a republican form of government should be restored in Tuscany.
