Mishnah I.8.2.  [I.2]  Some call these sets of letters "three books of letters" - Three mothers, seven doublets, and twelve simple ones.  As books, they cover all three facets of the universe's formation – underlying laws which describe potential possibilities and unite Creation, then the actual ongoing development of the Universe, and finally the Universe as we experience it and engage with it.
