COMMENTS
Let n=n(i,j,k) be the position of (i,j,k) in the lexicographic ordering A057557 of N X N X N, where N={1,2,3,...}. Row h of A186005 lists those n for which k=n, the distance from (i,j,k) to the xy-plane. Every positive integer occurs exactly once in the array, so that as a sequence, A186005 is a permutation of the positive integers.
EXAMPLE
T(2,2)=6, the position of (1,2,2) in the ordering
(1,1,1) < (1,1,2) < (1,2,1) < (2,1,1) < (1,1,3) < (1,2,2) < (1,3,1) < ...
