They represent universal ideals: - The **Good** is about purpose and moral rightness, fulfilling what something was meant to achieve. - The **True** is about conformity to reality, objective fact, or being in alignment with what is real and unchanging. - The **Beautiful** arises where goodness and truth are realized; it appeals to the feelings, imagination, and self-expression. Philosophically, these three are interconnected and often viewed as inseparable parts of a unified whole that represent how humans seek meaning, ethics, and aesthetics. They are seen not as subjective but as transcendent realities that everything participates in to some degree. Some thinkers trace this triad back to Plato, Aristotle, and later Christian thought, where it is even linked metaphorically to the Trinity—God embodying all three (Good, True, Beautiful). C.S. Lewis and others highlight an ontological sequence flowing from Being to Truth, then Goodness, then Beauty, suggesting truth as the foundation—knowing reality accurately—followed by ethical action (goodness), and then flourishing or excellence (beauty). In summary, they express how humans understand and engage with reality intellectually (truth), morally (good), and aesthetically or emotionally (beautiful), all rooted in a shared reality beyond mere opinion or preference.[1][2][3][4] [1](

As an analogy, we used to think of books, music, and movies as distinct. Then they all became represented by packets sent over the internet. Yes, we listened to music in audio players and viewed books in ebook readers, but their fundamental structure became digital. Similarly, today we think of stocks, bonds, gold, loans, and art as different. But all of them are represented as debits and credits on blockchains. Again, the fundamental structure became digital. Now, we are starting to think of different kinds of collections of people –— whether communities, cities, companies, or countries —– all fundamentally as networks, where the digital profiles and how they interact become more and more fundamental.
