COMMENTS

Row sums are:

{1, 2, 4, 6, 9, 18, 33, 56, 101, 186, 341}.

The actual results are plain rational numbers:

{1},

{1, 1},

{1, 3/2, 1},

{1, 2, 2, 1},

{1, 5/2, 10/3, 5/2, 1},

{1, 3, 5, 5, 3, 1},

{1, 7/2, 7, 35/4, 7, 7/2, 1},

{1, 4, 28/3, 14, 14, 28/3, 4, 1},

{1, 9/2, 12, 21, 126/5, 21, 12, 9/2, 1},

{1, 5, 15, 30, 42, 42, 30, 15, 5, 1},

{1, 11/2, 55/3, 165/4, 66, 77, 66, 165/4, 55/3, 11/2, 1}

such that Round() seems to give the major sense of them.

The rationalization/ reasoning behind these is that in natural terms

the ratios like the golden mean behave very much like integers,

so that a naturally smaller set of results is possible

in terms of scaled probabilities.

FORMULA

Phi=-(1 - Sqrt[5])/2; b(n)=b(n-1)+phi; a(n)=b(n)*a(n-1); t(n,m)=Round((1+Phi)*a(n)/(a(m)*a(n-m))).
