COMMENTS

The "subparts" of the symmetric representation of sigma(n) are defined to be the regions that arise after the dissection of the symmetric representation of sigma(n) into successive layers of width 1.
The number of layers of width 1 in the symmetric representation of sigma(n) is given in A250068.
The number of subparts in the first layer of the symmetric representation of sigma(n) is equal to A237271(n).
We can find the symmetric representation of sigma(n) as the terraces at the n-th level (starting from the top) of the stepped pyramid described in A245092.
(All above comments are essentially the same as the comments dated Nov 05 2016 at the old version of A275601, which was the same as A001227).
The sum of row n equals the number of subparts in the symmetric representation of sigma(n).
Conjecture:
The number of subparts in the symmetric representation of sigma(n) equals A001227(n), the number of odd divisors of n.
Proof:
Each row of the irregular triangle of A262045 can be interpreted as a step function of step sizes 1, 0, and -1. The numbers in row n are the widths of the segments in the parts of the symmetric representation of sigma(n). Each new subpart in a segment (in the left half) of row n starts at the same odd index that represents an odd divisor d of n in the irregular triangle of A237048. Either a subpart ends at an even index e, representing a second odd divisor, which satisfies d * e = oddpart(n), and thus the entire subpart is duplicated in the symmetric portion of the representation, or a subpart runs through the center and continues contiguously into the right half of the symmetric portion of the representation. In other words, the number of subparts in row n equals the number of odd divisors of n, i.e., the conjecture is true. (End)

For n = 12, the 11th row of triangle A237593 is [6, 3, 1, 1, 1, 1, 3, 6] and the 12th row of the same triangle is [7, 2, 2, 1, 1, 2, 2, 7], so the diagram of the symmetric representation of sigma(12) = 28 is constructed as shown below in Figure 1:

For n = 15, the 14th row of triangle A237593 is [8, 3, 1, 2, 2, 1, 3, 8] and the 15th row of the same triangle is [8, 3, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 8], so the diagram of the symmetric representation of sigma(15) = 24 is constructed as shown below in Figure 3:

.
For n = 360, the 359th row of triangle A237593 is [180, 61, 30, 19, 12, 9, 7, 6, 4, 4, 3, 3, 2, 3, 2, 1, 2, 2, 1, 1, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1] and the 360th row of the same triangle is [181, 60, 31, 18, 13, 9, 7, 5, 5, 4, 3, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 1, 1, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1], so have that the symmetric representation of sigma(360) = 1170 has only one part, five layers, and six subparts: [(719), (237), (139), (71), (2, 2)], so the 360th row of this triangle is [1, 1, 1, 1, 2], and the row sum is A001227(360) = 6, equaling the number of odd divisors of 360 (the diagram is too large to include).

The process of successive levels provides two "default" dissections of the symmetric representation into subparts from the boundary at n towards the boundary at n-1 or in the reverse direction. (End)
For n = 18 we have that the 17th row of triangle A237593 is [9, 4, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 4, 9] and the 18th row of the same triangle is [10, 3, 2, 2, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 10], so the diagram of the symmetric representation of sigma(18) = 39 is constructed as shown below in Figure 5:
