This is a mirror image of the triangular array A140995. The current array has index of asymmetry s = 3 and index of obliqueness (obliquity) e = 0. Array A140995 has the same index of asymmetry, but has index of obliqueness e = 1. (In other related sequences, the author uses the letter y for the index of asymmetry and the letter z for the index of obliqueness, but on the stone slab that appears over a tomb in a picture that he posted in those sequences, the letters s and e are used instead. See, for example, the documentation for sequences A140998, A141065, A141066, and A141067.)
In general, if the index of asymmetry (from the Pascal triangle A007318) is s, then the order of the recurrence is s + 2 (because the recurrence of the Pascal triangle has order 2). There are also s + 2 infinite sets of initial conditions (as opposed to the Pascal triangle, which has only 2 infinite sets of initial conditions, namely, G(n, 0) = G(n+1, n+1) = 1 for n >= 0).
Pascal's triangle A007318 has s = 0 and is symmetric, arrays A140998 and A140993 have s = 1 (with e = 0 and e = 1, respectively), arrays A140997 and A140994 have s = 2 (with e = 0 and e = 1, respectively), and arrays A141020 and A141021 have s = 4 (with e = 0 and e = 1, respectively).

Bivariate g.f.: Sum_{n,k >= 0} G(n, k)*x^n*y^k = (1 - x - x^2 - x^3 - x^4 + x^2*y + x^3*y + x^5*y)/((1 - x) * (1 - x*y) * (1 - x - x^2 - x^3 - x^4 - x^4*y)).
If we take the first derivative of the bivariate g.f. w.r.t. y and set y = 0, we get the g.f. of column k = 1: x/((1 - x) * (1 - x - x^2 - x^3 - x^4)). This is the g.f. of a shifted version of sequence A107066.
Substituting y = 1 in the above bivariate function and simplifying, we get the g.f. of row sums: 1/(1 - 2*x). Hence, the row sums are powers of 2; i.e., A000079.

This is a mirror image of the triangular array A140996. The current array has index of asymmetry s = 3 and index of obliqueness (obliquity) e = 1. Array A140996 has the same index of asymmetry, but has index of obliqueness e = 0.

Pascal's triangle A007318 has s = 0 and is symmetric, arrays A140998 and A140993 have s = 1 (with e = 0 and e = 1, respectively), and arrays A140997 and A140994 have s = 2 (with e = 0 and e = 1, respectively).
If A(x,y) = Sum_{n,k >= 0} G(n, k)*x^n*y^k is the bivariate g.f. for this array (with G(n, k) = 0 for 0 <= n < k) and B(x, y) = Sum_{n, k} A140996(n, k)*x^n*y^k, then A(x, y) = B(x*y, y^(-1)). This can be proved using formal manipulation of double series expansions and the fact G(n, k) = A140996(n, n-k) for 0 <= k <= n.
If we let b(k) = lim_{n -> infinity} G(n, k) for k >= 0, then b(0) = 1, b(1) = 2, b(2) = 4, b(3) = 8, and b(k) = b(k-1) + b(k-2) + 2*b(k-3) + b(k-4) for k >= 4. (The existence of the limit can be proved by induction on k.) Thus, the limiting sequence is 1, 2, 4, 8, 17, 35, 72, 149, 308, 636, 1314, 2715, 5609, 11588, 23941, 49462, 102188, 211120, 436173, ...

For the Pascal-like triangle G(n, k) with index of asymmetry y = 2 and index of obliqueness z = 0, which is read by rows, we have G(n, 0) = G(n+1, n+1) = 1, G(n+2, n+1) = 2, G(n+3, n+1) = 4, G(n+4, k) = G(n+1, k-1) + G(n+1, k) + G(n+2, k) + G(n+3, k) for k = 1..(n+1). (This is array A140997.)
For the Pascal-like triangle with index of asymmetry y = 1 and index of obliqueness z = 1, which is read by rows, we have G(n, n) = G(n+1, 0) = 1, G(n+2, 1) = 2, G(n+3, 2) = 4, G(n+4, k) = G(n+1, k-2) + G(n+1, k-3) + G(n+2, k-2) + G(n+3, k-1) for k = 3..(n+3). (This is array A140994.)
From Petros Hadjicostas, Jun 12 2019: (Start)
The two triangular arrays A140997 and A140994, which are described above, are mirror images of each other.
To make the current sequence uniquely defined, we follow the suggestion of R. J. Mathar for sequence A141064. For each row of array A140997, the composites not appearing in earlier rows are collected, sorted, and added to the sequence. We get exactly the same sequence by working with array A140994 instead.
Finally, we mention that in the attached picture about the connection between Stepan's triangles and the Pascal triangle, the letter s is used to describe the index of asymmetry and the letter e is used to describe the index of obliqueness (instead of the letters y and z, respectively). The Pascal triangle A007318 has index of asymmetry s = y = 0 (and it does not matter whether we use e = 0 or e = 1 in the general formulas in the attached photograph).
(End)

From Petros Hadjicostas, Jun 09 2019: (Start)
For the triangle with index of asymmetry y = 1 and index of obliqueness z = 0, read by rows, we have G(n, k) = A140998(n, k) for 0 <= k <= n.
For the triangle with index of asymmetry y = 1 and index of obliqueness z = 1, read by rows, we have G(n, k) = A140993(n+1, k+1) for 0 <= k <= n.
Thus, except for the unfortunate shifting of the indices by 1, triangular arrays A140998 and A140993 are mirror images of each other.
As suggested by R. J. Mathar for sequence A141064, in each row of A140998, the composites not appearing in earlier rows are collected, sorted, and added to the sequence.
Obviously, instead of working with A140998, we may work with A140993: in each row of A140993, the primes not appearing in earlier rows may be collected, sorted, and added to the sequence.
Finally, we explain the meaning of the double recurrence in the attached photograph (about Stepan's triangles and Pascal's triangles).
The creator of the stone slab uses the notation G_n^k to denote either one of the two double arrays G(n, k) described above.
On the stone slab, the letter s is used to denote the "index of asymmetry" (denoted by y here) and the letter e is used to denote the 0-1 "index of obliqueness" (denoted by z here). Thus, as described above, there are two kinds of Stepan-Pascal triangles depending on whether e = z equals 0 or 1.
If e = 0, the value of k goes from 1 to n + 1, whereas if e = 1 the value of k goes from s + 1 = y + 1 (= 2 here) to n + s + 1 = n + y + 1.
The "index of asymmetry" s = y can take any (fixed) integer value from 0 to infinity. The fixed value of s = y determines the number of initial conditions: G(n + x + 1, n - e*n + e*x - e + 1) = 2^x for x = 0, 1, ..., s = y. In addition, there is one more initial condition: G(n, e*n) = 1.
The "index of asymmetry" s = y also determines the order of the recurrence (which is probably s + 2 = y + 2): G(n + s + 2, k) = G(n + 1, k - e*s + e - 1) + Sum_{1 <= m <= s + 1} G(n + m, k - e*s + m*e - 2*e).
Apparently, for convenience, the author of the current sequence has shifted the indices of the recurrences that appear on the stone slab (see at the beginning of the comments).

From Petros Hadjicostas, Jun 22 2019: (Start)
This is a dynamically defined sequence. Since the nonprimes from each row are mixed with the nonprimes of previous rows and then sorted, the value of a(n) may change each time we add a new row.
For a modification of R. J. Mathar's program below so that nonprimes are sorted only within each row (so as to get a uniquely defined sequence) see the documentation of sequences A141064, A141065, A141066, A141067, A141068, and A141069.
(End)

			Scanning rows of A141020 or A141021 and sorting new nonprimes into the list we get:
  1 yields a(1) = 1.
  1 1 yields no new member.
  1 2 1 yields no new member.
  1 4 2 1 yields a(2) = 4.
  1 8 4 2 1 yields a(3) = 8.
  1 16 8 4 2 1 yields a(4) = 16.
  1 32 16 8 4 2 1 yields a(5) = 32.
  1 63 33 16 8 4 2 1 yields a(6) = 33 and a(7) = 63.
  1 124 67 33 16 8 4 2 1 yields a(8) = 124.
  1 244 136 67 33 16 8 4 2 1 yields a(9) = 136 and a(10) = 244.
  1 480 276 136 67 33 16 8 4 2 1 yields a(11) = 276 and a(12) = 480.

From _Petros Hadjicostas_, Jun 22 2019: (Start)
In the above example, we only sort the nonprimes up to row 11; we get the same output from _R. J. Mathar_'s program below if we say A141031(11). If, however, we include more rows in the program, the indexing of the nonprimes changes.
For example, the nonprimes in the data above come from the nonprimes of 22 rows. If we include more rows, then the indexing again changes and the value of each a(n) may not stay the same.

The two triangular arrays A140995 and A140996, which are described above, are mirror images of each other. Thus, we get the same sequence no matter which one we use.
Even though the numbering of the rows of both triangular arrays A140995 and A140996 starts at n = 0, the author of this sequence set up the offset at n = 1; that is, a(n) = number of primes in row n - 1 for A140995 (or for A140996) for n >= 1.
Finally, we mention that in the attached picture about Stepan's triangles, the letter s is used to describe the index of asymmetry and the letter e is used to describe the index of obliqueness (instead of the letters y and z, respectively).

From Petros Hadjicostas, Jun 13 2019: (Start)
In the example below the author uses array A140996 to create this sequence. If we use array A140995, which is the mirror image of A140996, and follow the same process, we get a different sequence: 1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 15, 16, 31, 33, 63, 68, 127, 140, 255, 288, 512, 592, ...
Even though array A140996 starts at row n = 0, the offset of the current sequence was set at n = 1. In other words, a(n) = Sum_{ceiling((n-1)/2) <= i <= n-1} G(i, n-1-i) = G(n-1, 0) + G(n-2, 1) + ... + G(ceiling((n-1)/2), floor((n-1)/2)) for n >= 1, where G(n, k) = A140996(n, k).
To get the g.f. of this sequence, we take the bivariate g.f. of sequence A140996, and set x = y. We multiply the result by x because the offset here was set at n = 1.
Finally, we mention that in the attached photograph about Stepan's triangle, the index of asymmetry is denoted by s (rather than y) and the index of obliqueness is denoted by e (rather than z). For the Pascal triangle, s = y = 0.

In the attached photograph, we see that the index of asymmetry is denoted by s and the index of obliqueness by e. The general recurrence is G(n+s+2, k) = G(n+1, k-e*s+e-1) + Sum_{1 <= m <= s+1} G(n+m, k-e*s+m*e-2*e) for n >= 0 with k = 1..(n+1) when e = 0 and k = (s+1)..(n+s+1) when e = 1. The initial conditions are G(n+x+1, n-e*n+e*x-e+1) = 2^x for x=0..s and n >= 0. There is one more initial condition, namely, G(n, e*n) = 1 for n >= 0.
For s = 0, we get Pascal's triangle A007318. For s = 1, we get A140998 (e = 0) and A140993 (e = 1). For s = 2, we get A140997 (e = 0) and A140994 (e = 1). For s = 3, we get A140996 (e = 0) and A140995 (e = 1). For s = 4, we have arrays A141020 (with e = 0) and A141021 (with e = 1). In some of these arrays, the indices n and k are shifted.
For the triangular array G(n, k) = A140995(n, k), we have G(n, n) = G(n+1, 0) = 1, G(n+2, 1) = 2, G(n+3, 2) = 4, G(n+4, 3) = 8, and G(n+5, k) = G(n+1, k-3) + G(n+1, k-4) + G(n+2, k-3) + G(n+3, k-2) + G(n+4, k-1) for n >= 0 and k = 4..(n+4).
With G(n, k) = A140995(n, k), the current sequence (a(k): k >= 0) is defined by a(k) = lim_{n -> infinity} G(n, k) for k >= 0. Then a(k) = a(k-4) + 2*a(k-3) + a(k-2) + a(k-1) for k >= 4 with a(x) = 2^x for x = 0..3.
