The table has row labels 2^n - 1 and column labels 2^(m+3). The table entry is row*col + 5. A MAGMA program is provided that generates the numbers in a table format. The sequence is read along the antidiagonals starting from the top left corner. Using the lexicographic ordering of A057555 the sequence is:
A(n) = Table(i,j) with (i,j)=(1,1),(1,2),(2,1),(1,3),(2,2),(3,1)...
+5 | 16 32 64 128 256 512 1024 ...

All of these numbers have the following property: let m be a member of A(n); if a sequence B(n) = all i such that i XOR (m - 1) = i - (m - 1), then the differences between successive members of B(n) is a repeating series
of 1,1,1,5 ending with 1,1,1 and the last difference in the pattern m. The total number of 1's and 5's in the pattern is 2^(j+2) - 1, where j is the column index.
As an example, consider A(1), which is 21; the sequence B(n) where i XOR 20 = i - 20 starts as 20, 21, 22, 23, 28, 29, 30, 31, 52, ... with successive differences of 1, 1, 1, 5, 1, 1, 1, 21.
for A(2), which is 37, the sequence B(n) where i XOR 36 = i - 36 starts as 36, 37, 38, 39, 44, 45, 46, 47, 52, 53, 54, 55, 60, 61, 62, 63, 100, ... with successive differences of 1, 1, 1, 5, 1, 1, 1, 5, 1, 1, 1, 5, 1, 1, 1, 37.
