The points between an inch were traditionally divided into 12 equal parts. This goes back to Mesopotamian times. The inch was divided into 12 the foot was divided by twelve and the yard was the tripartite three.
The tripartite system can be seen in nature as hexagon's bee hives, snow flakes and the giants causeway in Ireland to name only three.
Another tripartite system worth looking at is how bamboo is used in China to build scaffolding.
