Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

Triangle T(j,k) for 1 <= k <= j is filled row by row in the following manner: T(1,1) = 1; T(j,k) is the smallest nonprime number not yet used which is coprime to its left, left upper, upper and right upper neighbor, provided that such a neighbor exists (i.e., belongs to the triangle). Sequence contains the triangle by rows.

COMMENTS
This results in a triangle, where each element is coprime to all of its (at most eight) neighbors.
A rearrangement of nonprimes.
EXAMPLE
The first few rows of the triangle are
1;
4, 9;
25, 49, 8;
6, 121, 15, 77;
35, 169, 16, 221, 10;
12, 187, 21, 209, 27, 91;
T(4,2) = 121 is coprime to its neighbors 25, 49, 8, 6, 15, 35, 169 and 16.
