Hence my comment about not needing the third, if you get any directionality from the observations :)
The impression I got, from the story is that Len only sensed distance, not direction (and for that matter, not a very precise distance...oh heck, lemme go find the quote...)
Then, just as he was about to give up and let the pattern
collapse, he saw it - a faint red pinpoint, impossibly far away. He
abandoned the rest of the search and threw all his will at improving
his view of that one light. The distance was astonishing; if this was
who he was seeking, she must be in another galaxy!
Hmm, well that does seem to indicate directionality, actually... but useful enough for triangulation, I suspect...if they could get enough other data points. Ah, well; I suspect The Authors will find some way to render all this speculation moot :)
