It is instanced across a pattern of trichotomies (e.g. being-nothingness-becoming, immediate-mediate-concrete, abstract-negative-concrete); such trichotomies are not just three-way classificatory divisions; they involve trios of elements functionally interrelated in a process.
Patterns involving trios (e.g., being-nothingness-becoming, immediate-mediate-concrete, abstract-negative-concrete) demonstrate interrelated elements functionally integrated in a process, akin to trichotomies.
