%N Euclid's triangle read by rows. T(n, k) = 1 if k is prime to n, otherwise 0.

%C Turner defined his triangle T by use of a 'neck-tie' device, and a 'double-cycling' procedure, in order to define his cycle-numbers. See the links below for further details.

%C From _Peter Luschny_, Jul 28 2023: (Start)

%C Two nonnegative integers n, k are relatively prime or coprime if they are not both equal to 0 and there does not exist an integer d > 1 with d | k and d | n. The triangle is the indicator function of this relation, for 0 <= k <= n.

%C J. C. Turner thinks that a development of the number system that is more basic than the one obtained from Peano's axioms can be based on this triangle, with the basic concepts of the set {0, 1}, the zero number 0, and a cycle generation operation that he describes in his paper. (End)

%F Previous name was: Label the entries T(0,0), T(1,0), T(0,1), T(2,0), T(1,1), T(0,2), T(3,0), ... Then T(n,k) = T(k,n), T(0,0) = 0, T(1,0) = 1, and for n > 1, T(n,0) = 0 and T(n,in+j) = T(n-j,j) (i,j >= 0, not both 0).

%F From _Peter Luschny_, Jul 28 2023: (Start)

%F T(n, 0) = 1 = T(n, n) if n = 1, otherwise 0.

%F T(n, 1) = 1 = T(n, n-1) if n >= 1.

%F For n >= 2 the row sum is A000010(n).

%F Each row is palindromic. (End)
