Triadic Relation

A triadic relation involves three components or entities connected in a way that each one influences or relates to the others. Unlike simple pairs of relationships, triadic relations capture more complex interactions, where the relationship depends on all three elements simultaneously. For example, in social networks, a friendship among three people—where each person influences the group—is a triadic relation. It helps analyze how three entities interconnect, highlighting the dynamics that wouldn't be visible in just pairs, thereby providing a richer understanding of complex systems.
