Each term may be involved in up to six sums:
- T(1, 1) is involved in one sum,
- For any r > 1, T(r, 1) and T(r, r) are involved in three sums:
- For any r > 1 and c such that 1 < c < r, T(r, c) is involved in six sums.
Among each triple of pairwise adjacent terms, we cannot have all values equal mod 3 or all values distinct mod 3; this gives rise to the patterns visible in the illustration in the Links section.
T(n, k) is odd iff n + k == 2 mod 3.
See also A297673 for a similar triangle.

The term T(1, 1) = 1 is involved in the following sum:
- 1 + 2 + 4 = 7.
The term T(4, 4) = 7 is involved in the following sums:
- 8 + 16 + 7 = 31,
- 16 + 7 + 14 = 37,
- 7 + 14 + 22 = 43.
The term T(7, 6) = 42 is involved in the following sums:
- 35 + 32 + 42 = 109,
- 35 + 30 + 42 = 107,
- 32 + 42 + 15 = 89,
- 30 + 42 + 31 = 103,
- 42 + 31 + 40 = 113,
- 42 + 15 + 40 = 97.
