🌳 Triadic Pattern Decision Tree

By Nawder Loswin 1/4/2026 © www.TriadicFrameworks.org#

A flowchart‑style guide for choosing the right 3‑Pack pattern#

This decision tree helps developers determine which triadic pattern best fits their workflow by answering a sequence of simple, structural questions.

Think of it as the triadic compass for RTT‑aligned design.

🌱 START HERE#

Is the action simple, atomic, and self-contained?
        |
       Yes
        → Use: CORE 3‑PACK
       No
        ↓

🔁 REPETITION OR SINGLE CYCLE?#

Does the workflow repeat the same triadic rhythm multiple times?
        |
       Yes
        → Use: SEQUENTIAL TRIADS (Triadic Chain)
       No
        ↓

🧩 DOES A STEP CONTAIN SUB‑STEPS?#

Does any single step require its own full begin→transform→close arc?
        |
       Yes
        → Use: NESTED TRIADS
       No
        ↓

🧱 DEPTH OR ELABORATION?#

Does each primitive (P1, P2, P3) need its own triadic elaboration?
        |
       Yes
        → Use: TRIADIC EXPANSION (3×3 Pattern)
       No
        ↓

🧗 ASCENDING LEVELS OR REFINEMENT?#

Does the workflow move through increasing levels of abstraction or refinement?
        |
       Yes
        → Use: TRIADIC LADDER
       No
        ↓

🔄 REVERSIBILITY OR SYMMETRY?#

Does the workflow need a forward pass and a reverse pass?
        |
       Yes
        → Use: TRIADIC MIRROR
       No
        ↓

🌀 GROWTH OR DEEPENING CONTEXT?#

Does each cycle expand, deepen, or accumulate context?
        |
       Yes
        → Use: TRIADIC SPIRAL
       No
        ↓

✨ MULTIPLE AGENTS OR PARALLEL TRIADS?#

Are multiple independent triads orbiting a shared intent?
        |
       Yes
        → Use: TRIADIC CONSTELLATION
       No
        ↓

🧵 INTERLEAVING OR CONCURRENCY?#

Do multiple triads interleave across threads, layers, or streams?
        |
       Yes
        → Use: TRIADIC WEAVE
       No
        ↓

🌊 STAGED PIPELINES OR DEPENDENT STEPS?#

Does each triad’s closure trigger the next triad’s beginning?
        |
       Yes
        → Use: TRIADIC CASCADE
       No
        ↓

🧬 VARIATION OR EXPLORATION IN THE TRANSFORMATION PHASE?#

Does P2 require branching, mutation, or experimentation?
        |
       Yes
        → Use: TRIADIC MUTATION
       No
        ↓

🔭 REFRAMING OR OVERLAY‑DRIVEN INTERPRETATION?#

Is the triad acting as a lens over another process?
        |
       Yes
        → Use: TRIADIC LENS PATTERN
       No
        ↓

🧘 IF NONE OF THE ABOVE FIT…#

Return to the CORE 3‑PACK.
The simplest pattern is often the correct one.

🧙 Mythmatical Architect’s Note#

A decision tree is not a rulebook — it is a conversation with structure.
Each question reveals the shape of the workflow.
Each answer narrows the resonance.
Each pattern is a way of moving through intention with clarity.

Use this tree as a compass, not a cage.
