"If a rock falls and breaks into three smaller rocks, all sitting on the flat surface of the ground, how many objects are there? Three rocks? Three rocks and a triangle? Where did that fourth object, the triangle, "come from"?"

Wow, what profound wisdom, you do realize that if this phenomenon where to occur, the triangle existed long before the phenomena. Triangles were apparent throughout nature before your rock ever broke. After a statement like this, you have no room to infer lack of anyones intelligence. Please attempt to make a coherent statement before blatant attacks.

What a curious response. First off, how was that question an attack? LOL!

Secondly, I'm not asking about where triangles came from, I'm asking where that specific triangle came from. Did an angel go to the Big Pile O' Platonic Forms, pick out a triangle, and fasten it onto the three rocks? Or did that triangle emerge out of nothing the moment the big rock broke into three?
