An isolated electron and positron depict an exact two-fold symmetry. Are there any examples in physics of a truly triplicate symmetry? If not, what constraints are there that prevent it?

How about that for baryons composed of three identical quarks?

To be very picky, the electron/positron symmetry is an exact anti-symmetry like the anti-symmetry between E and B in EM. The spinor wave equation pair have a change of sign, or they would be symmetrical.

I've been told I'm a pedant already.

How about the color charges of quarks?

cyclic rotation of x y and z axis in space ?
