%N Table read by antidiagonals: the n-th row is the lexicographically earliest sequence such that no k + 2 points of ((1, a(1)), (2, a(2)), ...) lie on a polynomial of degree k for k < n.
%C Is every row a permutation of the natural numbers?
%C The first row is the positive integers, the second row is A231334, and the main diagonal is A300002.
%C T(n, m) = A300002(m) for n >= m, thus the rows converge to A300002 in the limit.

%e In the first row, no two points lie on a 0-degree polynomial (i.e., all terms are distinct).
%e In the second row, no two terms are the same and no three points (1, a(1)), (2, a(2)), ... lie on the same line.
%e In the third row, no two terms are the same; no three points (1, a(1)), (2, a(2)), ... lie on the same line; and no four points lie on the same parabola.
