You use paralax shift to determine depth and location (it's how you see in 3d).

You stand at one point, and take a bearing on a taret. Then you stand at another point with a known relationship t othe first point and take a bearing. Where the two vectors cross is the location of the object you were taking a bearing on.

I assume this is not what you are looking for; but I don't know what you are looking for and this is what you asked.

I mean moving in a triangular way in response to your opponent's attack. Does this make sense?

Are you asking about triangulation in respect to balance? If you are just imagine a person standing normal with feet apart at hips width. If you were to draw a point on the ground between the feet and out to approximately the height of the person and connect them it with the front of the feet would make a triangle, two triangles to be precise, one in front and in back. That point is called a balance point, which is the weakest point of a persons balance. If the person gets into say a fighting stance where both legs are bent, leading foot pointing straight ahead, other foot at a right angle to that the triangle changes thus the point moves. The point now will favor the front because of the position of the foot. If you pull someone or throw them, bend them toward one of those points it makes it very easy to take them down. The muscle that support those points are extremely weak. I hope this helps.

That's interesting, but not what I was looking for. I mean like attacker throws a straight punch, you "triangulate" out and counter attack.

I believe he's referring to "triangle stepping", though right this momemnt my brain doesn't feel up for a "from scratch" dissertation on that in text.

Same idea if avoiding a punch. If you step to a 45 angle back to the inside or outside of the punch you will be standing on his balance point, the weakest point of his balance. I just gave you diamonds my friends.
