triadic
Based on threes
Triadic means consisting of or relating to three elements, typically functioning as a group or unit.
The term appears in music theory (triadic harmony involves three-note chords), philosophy, and technical fields: The therapist used a triadic approach, working with both parents and child together.
Triadic relationships or structures emphasize the interplay among three distinct parts.
