Trinitarian doctrine states that the trinity cannot be known except by revelation from god. It is inaccessible to reason alone and emphatically not comprehensible by man - it cannot be made coherent...and be true. That is a rejection of trinitarian doctrine.
You are giving the boards metaphors for an anti-trinitarian position. How could these explain or rationalize the trinitarian position? Could we interpret this as something similar to other trends in ethnographic surveys? That a persons place and place in time not only changes what they believe - but how? Now only the belief, but beliefs about it? How jews in palestine could come to be christians in rome without believing that anything about their belief had changed or that they were discussing something else entirely with respect to their predecessors?
When we discuss trinitarian doctrine, it's development, or the sense that -it- makes...we are considering what is contended to be a central and strict mystery of the faith with a rather frank claim to it's rational status - but when you discuss trinitarian doctrine you're considering some other thing - a rational product that can be coherently described and is comprehensible to man.
