How does this circuit work?

This house has 3 phase power.

I was replacing a downlight and found it having two black, two neutral,
and one blue incoming wire.

If the light switch was on, the blue wire was energized.
If the ceiling fan was on, one of the incoming black wire was energized.

Why/how do both light and fan work when both are on?

incoming downlight
a) ================(black)------------------
b) ================(GROUND)----------------
c) ----------------(blue)------------------

IDK why a house anywhere would have 3 phase power. But there is a wire for the light, a wire for the fan, two neutrals, so what's the issue?

Sorry, the diagram was wrong. I mistakenly labelled ground as neutral.
It is now corrected.

When both fan and light are on, both the blue and black wires are
energized.

So, again, you have a hot for the light, a hot for the fan and a neutral. What's the issue?

Is the equipment ground being used as the neutral? It must be
tied to the neutral
upstream somewhere. That's illegal at least in my world.
