The triangle itself EXCLUDES time and temporality as INNER aspects of 
history and development, the triangle orients us to synchronicity and 
synchronous aspects of activity and excludes diachronicity and diachronous 
aspects. This is my sense. Michael

It would be fascinating to look at Bronfenbrenner embedded context two d
picture in same in UB's spirit, but not in his representation.
