Another way to construct the array: construct an infinite square matrix starting in the top left corner using the rule that each entry is the smallest nonnegative number that is not in the row to your left or in the column above you.
After a few moves the [symmetric] matrix looks like this:
0 1 2 3 4 5 ...
1 0 3 2 5 ...
2 3 0 1 ?
3 2 1
4 5 ?
5
The ? is then replaced with a 6.
