Can I see Triads? Trinitas Vestigias(sp?)

Can one find evidence for the Trinity in nature?
I took the following from John Frame, The Doctrine of God, p.744.

God's oneness as unity, equality, and concord (Augustine).

ONTOLOGY
predicables, cases, and exemplifications

Instantiation, association, and classification;
particle, wave, field

Good, true, beautiful (interestingly enough, these are commonly listed as "transcendentals").

EPISTEMOLOGY
object, subject, and law (see DKG)
situational, normative, and existential perspectives
in logic: major premise, minor premise, conclusion
knowledge as justified, true belief.

ETHICS
Faith, hope, and love as virtues that abide
teleological, deontological, existential perspectives on ethics
goal, motive, standard

PHYSICAL SCIENCE
Height, width, length (each constitutes all of space, yet they are distinct)
outside, inside, above
past, present, future
Matter, energy, and meaning (David Bohm believed that each of these replicates the other two. Each is a basic manifestation of reality)

The nine dimensions of some recent theories (a trinity of trinities)
The sun brings light, heat, and life.

THE HUMAN BODY
Mind, knowledge, love.
Memory, understanding, will
being, knowing, willing.

ART, MUSIC, LITERATURE
Tonic, tierce, quint
timbre, volume, harmony
beauty as integrity, proportion, and splendor


anyway, I got these from Frame
