The problem with Trinity is that it's beyond anything manifested. It's a hint at God's unmanifested transcendent mystery, something before/beyond anything mind can grasp. Nothing in this verbalisation should be taken literally or rationaly. The absurdity of 3=1 is obvious.
After Trinity is accepted as such it can be traced only as a reflection in everything in creation e.g. mind, body and spirit in microcosmos of man. There are also a lot of triads in the tree of life ... I agree sephirots are not God or Gods but vessels or facets of divine manifestation. So sephirots can't be equal to persons of Holy Trinity. That would be also in contradiction with Christian doctrine. I haven't read much what was writen by Christian cabbalists on this topic yet.
The "four worlds" as I understand are the inner/outer planes further divided in two planes. There seems to be no triad just a diad. Nevertheless the third element could be the relationship or communication between inner and outer. The element of love, (comm)union and fruit of this. A family starts with marriage - a union of two: man-woman. But there is also a third part hidden - their loving relationship or union itself. When the child - the fruit of their love - is born the third part becomes tangibly manifest.
