I wonder if my terminology is correct or I'm treading new territory. I do "hard" triangulation and "soft" triangulation. Hard is where three kits are all matching on the *same* segment.  In that case, if the CA-couple are known, I can assign that exact segment to that couple. Soft is where three kits all match each other pair-wise, just not on the same segment.I cannot assign the segments to the CA-couple because it's *just* possible that there are two or more distinct lines that are causing this triangulation to occur, unrelated to the three-way-shared tree

Proper terms are Segment Triangulation aka your Hard Uses “ICW” Pedigree Triangulation aka your Soft Uses “Shared” Sent from my iPhone > On Dec 7, 2018, at 11:24 AM, Wjhonson via GENEALOGY-DNA <genealogy-dna@rootsweb.com> wrote: > > I wonder if my terminology is correct or I'm treading new territory. > I do "hard" triangulation and "soft" triangulation. > Hard is where three kits are all matching on the *same* segment.

There is no such thing as soft triangulation. What you mean is In-Common-With and that’s not the same as triangulation.

Are you thinking of something along the lines of what I described in this essay? http://tinyurl.com/TheTroubleWithTriangulation This is more in the domain of network analysis or the DNA Circles at Ancestry.
