domain toward systematic understanding of the underlying subtle non-local, nonmaterial relative level of nature and further to the infinitely self-interacting, allencompassing unified field. Thus three fundamental domains of the totality of nature are becoming delineated-the gross manifest relative domain, the subtle manifest relative domain, and the unmanifest transcendent domain-all three phenomenally existing within but ultimately nothing other than the one unified field of nature, the unmanifest level of Veda (1).
Fundamental forces in Vedic science and modern science match up

This world (with three units in one) is nothing but space-time-action as substances.
In the conceptual delineation of duality, there is an implied trinity. The trinity is also ubiquitous in both ancient Vedic science and modern science, as well as in religious traditions (1). Most ancient sciences, in India and elsewhere around the world, also share with modern science a common source in binary simple logic from which emerge three-fold and sometimes four-fold and five-fold schemes in light of various models of symmetry and laws of conservation. A similar scheme can be found in advanced computer science.
For example, in the delineation of observer and observed there is the connecting process of observing; in the delineation of creation and dissolution operators there is the maintenance operator, in the delineation of subject and object there is the predicate, and in the delineation of Father and Son there is the Holy Spirit. Also, there are the fundamental trinities of knower-process of knowing-known, sat-cit-ananda, rishi-devata-chhandas, Brahma-Vishnu-Siva, and so on. Trinity implies duality and transcendental, addressing two-valued logic and three-valued logic as well. This is significant because two-valued logic creates paradoxes, which cannot be solved by it. Only as late as 1963 did Bertrand Russell propose threevalued logic mathematically to address two-valued paradoxes.
In Sankhya, the five fundamental qualities and constituents (Tanmatras and Mahabhutas) are a further delineation of the three fundamental forces of Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas, the trigunas. They also relate to the five fundamental constituents grouped into the tridoshas in Ayurveda. These levels of fundamental trinities
