The number three in scripture points to the Godhead and divine fullness.

God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Ghost

In God's creation we see God's hand in the fact that the number 3 is stamped on everything.

Take the sun for instance. It is a type of God or better Jesus Christ. The sun produces three types of rays. (1) Visible light rays that can be seen and felt as it lightens the day and warms you and everyting it touches. Type of Jesus (2)Rays that can be felt but not seen or ultra violet rays. They are invisible but they warm what they touch. Type of the Holy Spirit (3)actinic rays that cannot be seen nor felt Type of the Father in Heaven Never seen and only felt through Spirit

God created man in His image. Body, Soul and Spirit (1Ths. 5:23)

There are three heavens Atmosphere, Outer Space, 3rd Heaven (2 Cor. 12:2) or abode of God

God created all color. There are only three primary colors that all colors are derived from. Red, Yellow and Blue. By mixing these three you get all the rest.

The water you drink is H2O 2 atoms of hydrogen 1 of oxygen.

The earth is land, sea and air.

You have to have length, width and depth to have a physical entity.

God's attributes are Omniscience, omnipresence, omnipotence.

Time is past, present and future

Human capability is limited to thought, word and deed.

The three main classes in God's creation is mineral, vegetable and animal

There were three feasts unto the Lord that Israel was to keep (Deut. 16:16) which mark the three divisions of the resurrection of the saved. Firstfruits, harvest and gleanings.

These are but a few examples of how the number three points to the Triune nature of God and His creation.

As to 3 and purpose or God's purpose. I would say yes since every thing God touches get's marked in some way by the number 3.
