To find the next numbers in the sequence \( \frac{1}{9}, \frac{1}{3}, -1 \), let's first look at the relationship between the terms.
1. The first term is \( \frac{1}{9} \).
2. The second term, \( \frac{1}{3} \), can be represented as \( \frac{3}{9} \).
3. The third term is \( -1 \), which can be written as \( \frac{-9}{9} \).
Now, let's express the terms in the common denominator of 9:
- \( \frac{1}{9} = \frac{1}{9} \)
- \( \frac{1}{3} = \frac{3}{9} \)
- \( -1 = \frac{-9}{9} \)
Notice that the sequence goes:
- From \( \frac{1}{9} \) to \( \frac{3}{9} \), there's an increase of \( \frac{2}{9} \).
- From \( \frac{3}{9} \) to \( -\frac{9}{9} \), there's a decrease of \( \frac{12}{9} \) or \( \frac{4}{3} \).
To find a pattern, we'll calculate the differences between consecutive terms:
1. The difference from the first to the second term:
\[
\frac{3}{9} - \frac{1}{9} = \frac{2}{9}
\]
2. The difference from the second to the third term:
\[
-\frac{9}{9} - \frac{3}{9} = \frac{-12}{9} = -\frac{4}{3}
\]
From this, we see a possible pattern of switching signs and increasing magnitude.
If we assume the sequence's next difference might also follow the pattern of increasing by a factor, we can check a consistent logical step after \( -\frac{9}{9} \) directionally. Continuing this trend might look like:
- After \( -1 \) (or \( -\frac{9}{9} \)), we subtract a number that would change the sign again.
If we follow the pattern of decrementing by similar factors, let's continue from \( -\frac{9}{9} \) by adding \( \frac{4}{3} \) (the reverse of the previous step).
Calculating further from \( -1 \):
1. Next term after \( -1 \) (converting to a common denominator):
- If we continue this cyclic pattern of increases, the next two differences could follow theorized rules of \( \frac{4}{3} \times 1 \) and onward adjoined with reversing.
If we strategically chose visualization at major conjunctions through induction yielding:
Subsequent next could suggest values as:
The next terms might be:
- \( \frac{1}{9} \) → \( \frac{3}{9} \) → \( -1 \) (decrease again by proportional basis or apply alternate sequence yielding close proximity).
After these checks in sequences,
Thus continuing from \( -1 \):
1. After \( -1 \) (transition may revert), we will expect \( -\frac{16}{9} \) continue exploring forward.
Hence, the next plausible logical yield would be:
\(-3\), then concluding with \(-\frac{25}{9}\).
Thus the next three numbers in sequence simplistically interpreted yield:
- \(-\frac{16}{9}\) and onward leading as a function through inverse approximately or the following common understanding.
Thus:
\(-3\), \(-5\), ... or reflections revert back to continuing triplet through directional yields as necessary.

In conclusion, based reflections on continuations and sequencing reflect through major oscillations in nature thus:
Next three numbers in sequence deduced would reasonably constitute:
- \(-1\), \( - \frac{16}{9} \) then sequential leading through \( -3\) ... onward.
