## Abstract

This paper considers three different partition relations from partition calculus, two of which are pair relations and one of which is a triple relation. An examination of the first partition relation and the ramification argument used to prove it will motivate questions regarding how to strengthen it. These questions will lead to an examination of the second partition relation and its submodel argument where the answers to those questions will motivate further questions. The final partition relation will then be compared to the prior two and an analysis of its strength will motivate final questions that will guide future mathematicians who wish to prove claims about positive or negative triple partition relations.
