Quote from ‘Abstracts of 8 Lectures’

Term: 
Triad
Quote: 

Let me remind you that three things do not necessarily make a genuine triad or have what I call threeness, except in a modified and reduced sense. By a genuine triad I mean three things in a genuine triple relation which is not a mere mixture of dual relations.
