The Joke is related to Alchemy and creation of the Philosopher's Stone. First the base material is purged "The Blackening" Aka Nigrido then it is purified "The Whitening" Albedo, then it is changed into higher material "The Yellowing/Goldening" which in latin is Cinitras (Aka a hypothsized 4th sister) finally it is transformed and transended given life, like blood thus "The Redening" Rubedo. The three (possibly 4) sisters are named after the Alchemical processes to create the Philosopher's Stone, source of eternal life and the catacylst that can transmute any base matter into any other base matter.
