The perfectness of double-entry bookkeeping system has been praised by many notable authors in history. And ever since it was developed, the basis of framework of double-entry bookkeeping system has remained unchanged for more than five centuries.
But it is possible that the dichotomy of double-entry bookkeeping system is extended to trichotomy of triple-entry bookkeeping system by means of interpreting existing two dimensions of double-entry bookkeeping system as wealth=capital instead of conventional interpretation, that is assets=equities.
Therefore, the purpose of this study is to present the triple-entry bookkeeping system in order to disprove the perfectness hypothesis of double-entry bookkeeping system.
The results of this study are as follows;
1) Temporal triple-entry bookkeeping system can be presented because of being able to extend the dichotomy of present(wealth)=past(capital) to the trichotomy of future(budget)=present(wealth)=past(capital).
2) Differential triple-entry bookkeeping system can be presented because of being able to consider capital as the "derivative" of the wealth and force as the "derivative" of the capital.
Finally consideration of accounting in the third dimension are as follows; 1) extension of triple-entry bookkeeping system to quadruple-entry bookkeeping system or multi-entry bookkeeping system, 2) possibility of extension of causal entry bookkeeping to triple-entry bookkeeping, 3) implementation of triple-entry system in real world.
