Every positive integer occurs exactly once, so that as a sequence, this is a permutation of the positive integers. As an array, this is the interspersion of sqrt(1/3); see A283962.

FORMULA
T(n,m) = Sum_{k=1...n + [m/r]} m+1+[(n-k)r], where r = sqrt(3), [ ]=floor.
EXAMPLE
Northwest corner:
1 2 4 6 9 12 16
3 5 8 11 15 19 24
7 10 14 18 23 28 34
13 17 22 27 33 39 46
20 25 31 37 44 51 59
29 35 42 49 57 65 74
40 47 55 63 72 81 91
53 61 70 79 89 99 110
67 76 86 96 107 118 130
The numbers k*r+h, approximately:
(for k=1): 1.732 2.732 3.732 ...
(for k=2): 3.464 4.464 5.464 ...
(for k=3): 5.196 6.196 7.196 ...
Replacing each k*r+h by its rank gives
1 2 4
3 5 8
7 10 14
