I see three persons and two processions as the basis for the diversity within God himself (equally ultimate with his unity) as the basis for all created reality: (1) Son from Father; and (2) Spirit from Father and Son.
Thank you Anna, I appreciate that insight. While many theologians have searched for triads in creation on account of the Trinity, I’ve never seen anyone connect dyads in creation on account of God’s 2 processions. At least not explicitly as vestigia trinitatis, signs of the trinity. Perhaps not everything aspires to a triad, as Bavinck put it, because a dyad can also reflect God?
Can 1 plus 1 ever equal 3? Aaron, I love reading, being challenged by, and growing through your writing. (Do three participial phrases strung together in parallel count as triadic?)
Another triad: the skull brain, the heart brain and the belly brain.
Oh my goodness, yes! How did I miss that. Was just researching the other day the relative number of neurons in those 3. Thanks Barbara!

Maybe another vestigium trinitatis indicating dyad would be exitus-reditus (trinitarian unfolding/processions unto enfolding/perichoresis).
