COMMENTS
This is a fractal sequence.
T(n,k) = T(n+1,A256507(n,k),k), that is, A256507 gives the positions of n-th's row terms in row n+1. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Apr 22 2015

MATHEMATICA
row[n_] := SortBy[Range[n(n+2)], If[IntegerQ[Sqrt[#]], 0, N[FractionalPart[ Sqrt[#]]]]&];
Array[row, 5] // Flatten (* Jean-François Alcover, Sep 17 2019 *)
PROG
(PARI) arow(n)=vecsort(vector(n*(n+2), k, if(issquare(k), 0., sqrt(k)-floor(sqrt(k)))), , 1) \\ This relies on vecsort being stable.
