	Rule of three (writing) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The rule of three is a principle in English writing that suggests that things that come in threes are inherently funnier, more satisfying, or more effective than other numbers of things.
		A series of three is often used to create a progression in which the tension is created, then built up, then released.
		Ternary form, for example, consists of three sections: a theme, a response (or a second theme) and a variation on the first theme - that is, A-B-A. On a more fundamental level, triads (chords consisting of three notes) are the root of almost all Western chordal music.

		There are two “rules of three” in reuse: (a) It is three times as difficult to build reusable components as single use components, and (b) a reusable component should be tried out in three different applications before it will be sufficiently general to accept into a reuse library.
		The second rule of thumb is about being sure that your reusable component really is generalized.
