I found an interesting one on: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ternary_plot

I should have realised that 'ternary' is a reference to 3. Thus it represents a diagrammatic representation of the outcome of 3 influences. The context of the 'sliding scale' scale of influence is indicated within the enclosed zone of the axis. I observe that there are some 3 space examples around. The mind boggles!
