If you take a single strand of rope between your hands and yank

more strands and wind them together very tightly, you probably
won't be able to break the rope.
The idea of one by the joining of many is that no part or portion
is complete without the other.
Yahweh has no body outside of Yeshua, Yeshua has no Ruach outside
of the Ruach Hakkodesh, and the Ruach Hakkodesh has no soul outside
the Yahweh. They are not separated in any way. They are not three,
separate or distinct entities. [b]They are three, separate and
distinct facets of one entity.

Unfortunately your view did not survive the embroyic faith, if
it was held at all.
I suggest you read about early Christian understanding of the
nature of God and subsequent development through the ages.
I don't understand your rope analogy too.
