🌍 The “Triangle Model” in a Tripolar World:
Every Nation Will Be Positioned Somewhere Along a Side
As the world shifts into a tripolar structure—with the United States, China, and the EU/Third Bloc forming the three major poles—each country’s strategic position becomes stable not inside the triangle, but somewhere along one of its sides.
This phenomenon can be described as the Triangle Model.
1. In a tripolar world, global power can be represented as an “equilateral triangle”
The three poles are:
• USA (blue): security, transparency, AI, democracy
• China (red): resources, manufacturing, state-led stability, concentrated power
• 3rd/EU (green): norms, moderation, international order, balance
These three poles function as the primary gravity centers of the international system,
creating a visible triangle-shaped tension field in global politics.
2. No nation can remain at a “vertex”
→ Each country naturally moves toward a side between two poles
Sitting at a vertex implies:
• total dependence on a single great power
• zero diplomatic flexibility
• severe economic security risks
—an extremely fragile position.
Thus, countries increase their chances of survival by positioning themselves between two poles, not at one.
Examples:
• Japan → between USA and the 3rd/EU
• Iran → between China and the 3rd/EU
• Russia → between USA and China
In other words:
all nations naturally gravitate toward one side of the triangle.
3. The “interior” of the triangle is an empty zone
→ No country can survive there
A country located inside the triangle would:
• receive no reliable support from any major power
• align with no recognizable value system
• fail to diversify strategic risks
• lack usable diplomatic leverage
This is essentially a defenseless vacuum position,
which no state can realistically maintain.
Therefore, every nation must position itself along a side, never at the center.
4. Each side represents a “hybrid line” of two value systems / two power sources
The three sides correspond to:
• USA ↔ 3rd(EU)
→ a hybrid of freedom, norms, and international order
• 3rd(EU) ↔ China
→ a hybrid of resources, norms, and state-led control
• China ↔ USA
→ a tension axis of power, technology, and security
These sides act as the mid-lines of emotional and political concentration
(the “Emotionics equilibrium lines” between two forces).
5. The Triangle Model explains why a tripolar world becomes more stable over time
With the Triangle Model, we can understand:
• why the world converges toward a tripolar structure
• why nations become less extreme
• why a tripolar system is more Emotionics-stable than a bipolar one
• why moderating actors (like the EU) naturally become central
Countries positioned along the sides can maintain balance and avoid
the escalation of Fake Hope or Fake Fear.
This stabilizes global politics over the long term.
✨ Conclusion: In a tripolar world, all nations align along the sides
• The world becomes structured like an equilateral triangle
• Nations position themselves on the sides, not the vertices
• Each side represents a meaningful blend of two major forces
• The interior remains empty—a zone where no state can survive
• Therefore, the Triangle Model becomes the new map of international politics
