English term or phrase: the three casts of nature
Aus einem Buch über Logodesign: Professionalle Designer besprechen und kritisieren Logos von unterschiedlichen Designagenturen. Mir will keine schöne Formulierung für "the three casts of nature" einfallen. Wer hat eine Idee? Vielen Dank im Voraus!

Hier eine Abbildung des Logos: http://tinyurl.com/5eq8cp

Und hier der Kontext:

"Everything about this mark has been considered. According to the designer’s statement, the triangle shape references the three Gods of the universe and the three casts of nature. The lettering uses Balinese traditional written forms."

die drei Welten des Kosmos
Explanation:
Ist vielleicht ein Übersetzungsfehler auf dem Weg ins Englische (cast - stage?):

A triangle also signifies the three Gods of the universe (Trimurti – Brahma, Wisnu and Siwa), the three casts of nature (Bhur, Bwah and Swah Loka), as well as the three stages of life (birth, life, and death).
(http://www.bali-travelnews.com/Batrav/Batrav213/cstory_3.htm )

Und mit "Bhur, Bwah, Swah Loka" habe ich dann folgendes gefunden:
The triangle also represents the three Gods of the universe (Trimurti – Brahma, Wisnu, and Siwa), three stages of nature (Bhur, Bwah and Swah Loka), and three stages of Life (Born, Live, and Die).
(http://blog.baliwww.com/miscellaneous/875/ )

The padmasana presents the form of Balinese macrocosmos. It is divided into three sections – the familiar Tri Loka: Bhur (the world of demon), Bwah (the world of human), Swah (the world of gods).
