"Kepler's Three Laws" of planetary motion

Kepler's Second Law of Planetary Motion states that a line from a planet to the sun will sweep out equal areas in equal times. The planet moves more slowly when it is farther from the sun and faster when it is near it. (This is equivalent to the conservation of angular momentum.)

Kepler's First Law of Planetary Motion states that the orbits of the planets are ellipses with the sun at one focus of the ellipse.

Kepler's Third Law of Planetary Motion states that T2 is proportional to a3, where T is the orbital period of a planet (its year) and a is the semi-major axis of the ellipse.

Dukkha (Sanskrit duhkha) or unsatisfactoriness. Nothing found in the physical world or even the psychological realm can bring lasting deep satisfaction.  (The Buddha’s comments on the three characteristics of everything existing, the three dharma seals.)

Anatta (Sanskrit anatman) impersonality, or non-Self. The human personality, "soul", or Self, is a conventional appellation applied to the assembly of physical and psychological components, each individually subject to constant flux; there is no central core (or essence); this is somewhat similar to a bundle theory of mind or soul.

Anicca (Sanskrit anitya) or impermanence. This refers not only to the fact that all conditioned things eventually cease to exist, but also that all conditioned things are in a constant state of flux. (Visualize a leaf growing on a tree. It dies and falls off the tree but is soon replaced by a new leaf.)

The law of three is one of the two fundamental laws of the cosmos.  It enters into virtually every aspect of everything we encounter moment by moment, day by day.  Several things should be noted straight away. 

The first is that since this triadic characteristic is universal it provides a universal map to the relationships we deal with all the time.  More specifically it provides an understanding of the role a particular element plays… and consequently how to better play that role, or a recognition that that role is missing in a particular event.  More on that later.

The next thing to recognize is that all triads are incomplete.  That is to say they are in some way unbalanced and need connections to other triads for their completion or balancing.

Another important aspect is recognizing the source for a particular element in a triad.  That is to say the impulses that originate the three independent elements of a triad can separately come from two different sources: essential sources or existential sources in Bennett’s terminology. 

The essential sources come from “above” as it were.  They are the non-conditioned elements that enter into triads.  The highest triads, for example, are made up of three essential impulses. 

The Existential sources come from “below”, which is to say that they enter into a triad as conditioned or limited impulses.  Lower triads are made up of mixed impulses, both essential and existential.  Still lower triads can consist of all existential impulses.

Both protons and neutrons contain three quarks.

But the dissection stops there: electrons and quarks are the smallest pieces of ordinary matter.

Almost always the analysis falls into three groups:

New York Times  Op-Ed.

In a paper last month in Infant and Child Development, Dr. Dyer proposed that co-sleeping families fall into three distinct categories. There are intentional co-sleepers — those who sleep with their children because they want to breast-feed for a long stretch and believe bed sharing is good for a child’s well-being and emotional development. Another group is reactive co-sleepers, those parents who don’t really want to sleep with their kids, but do so because they can’t get their children to sleep any other way or because financial hardship requires them to share a room with a child.

And then there is a third group that she tentatively calls circumstantial co-sleepers — parents who sleep with their children occasionally because of circumstances like sharing a bed on a family vacation, during a thunderstorm or because the child is sick.
