You're right about the triangle part, but I think the sentence you're referring to (a confusing sentence, granted) is highlighting the significance of what comes in the next paragraph: the activity of the human cerebral cortex in making "continuous topographic maps" which enable the viewer to combine information received at different times to make coherent sense of visual input.

In other words, she is not seeing from two angles simultaneouly; but different views seen sequentially (through the same eye) can be combined by the brain into a "topographic map" which enables to viewer to comprehend the visual data three-dimensionally.

Exactly. That’s basically what I did for 40 years (and what horses do all the time).
