%N Pascal's prism (3-dimensional array) read by folded antidiagonal cross-sections: (h+i; h, i-j, j), h >= 0, i >= 0, 0 <= j <= i.

%C P_h = level h of Pascal's prism where P_1 = Pascal's triangle (A007318) and P_2 = denominators of Leibniz harmonic triangle (A003506). A sequence of length k through P is defined by P<h(n), i(n), j(n)> for n = {1, 2, 3, ..., k}.
