An infinite Sudoku-type array.
In the definition, "diagonal" means a diagonal line of slope -1, and "antidiagonal" means a diagonal line of slope +1.
Theorem C (Bob Selcoe, Jul 01 2016): Every column is a permutation of the natural numbers.
Proof: Fix k, and suppose j is the smallest number missing from that column. For this to happen, every entry T(n,k) for sufficiently large n in that column must see a j in the NW diagonal through that cell or in the row to the W of that cell. But there are at most k-1 copies of j in the columns to the left of the k-th column, and if n is very large the entry T(n,k) will be unaffected by those j's, and so T(n,k) would then be set to j, a contradiction. QED
Theorem R (Rob Pratt, Bob Selcoe, N. J. A. Sloane, Jul 02 2016): Every row is a permutation of the natural numbers.
Proof: Fix n, and suppose j is the smallest number missing from that row. For this to happen, every entry T(n,k) for sufficiently large k in that row must see a j in the column to the N, or in the NW diagonal through that cell or in the SW diagonal through that cell.
Rows 1 through n-1 contain at most n-1 copies of j, and their influence on the entries in the n-th row only extend out to the entry T(n,k_0), say. We take k to be much larger than k_0 and consider the entry T(n,k). We will show that for large enough k it can (and therefore must) be equal to j, which is a contradiction.
Consider the triangle bounded by row n, column 1, and the SW antidiagonal through cell (n,k). Replace every copy of j in this triangle by a queen and think of these cells as a triangular chessboard. These are non-attacking queens, by definition of the sequence, and by the result in A274616 there can be at most 2*k/3 + 1 such queens. However, there are k-k_0 cells in row n that have to be attacked, and for large k this is impossible since k-k_0 > 2*k/3+1. If a cell (n,k) is not attacked by a queen, then T(n,k) can take the value j. QED
Presumably every diagonal is also a permutation of the natural numbers, but the proof does not seem so straightforward. Of course the antidiagonals are not permutations of the natural numbers, since they are finite in length. - N. J. A. Sloane, Jul 02 2016
For an interpretation of this array in terms of Sprague-Grundy values, see A274528.
From Don Reble, Jun 30 2016: (Start)
Let b(n) be the position in column n where 1 appears, i.e., such that T(b(n),n) = 1. Then b(n) is A065188, which is Antti Karttunen's "Greedy Queens" permutation.
Let b'(n) be the position in row n where 1 appears, i.e., such that T(n,b'(n)) = 1. Then b'(n) is A065189, the inverse "Greedy Queens" permutation. (End)
The same sequence arises if we construct a triangle, by reading from left to right in each row, always choosing the smallest positive number which does not produce a duplicate number in any row or diagonal. - N. J. A. Sloane, Jul 02 2016
It appears that the numbers generally appear for the first time in or near the first few rows. - Omar E. Pol, Jul 03 2016
The last comment in the FORMULA section seems wrong: It seems that columns 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, ...(?) all have first differences which become 16-periodic from, respectively, term 8, 17, 52, 91, 92, 131, ... on, rather than having period 4^(k-1) from term k on. - M. F. Hasler, Sep 26 2022

Formula

Theorem 1: T(n,1) = n.
Proof by induction. T(1,1)=1 by definition. When calculating T(n,1), the only constraint is that it be different from all earlier entries in the first column, which are 1,2,3,...,n-1. So T(n,1)=n. QED
Theorem 2 (Based on a message from Bob Selcoe, Jun 29 2016): Write n = 4t+i with t >= 0, i=1,2,3, or 4. Then T(n,2) = 4t+3 if i=1, 4t+4 if i=2, 4t+1 if i=3, 4t+2 if i=4. This implies that the second column is the permutation A256008.
Proof: We check that the first 4 entries in column 2 are 2,5,6,3. From then on, to calculate the entry T(n,2), we need only look to the N, NW, W, and SW (we need never look to the East). After we have found the first 4t entries in the column, the column contains all the numbers from 1 to 4t. The four smallest free numbers are 4t+1, 4t+2, 4t+3, 4t+4. Entry T(4t+1,2) cannot be 4t+1 or 4t+2, but it can (and therefore must) be 4t+3. Similarly T(4t+2,2)=4t+4, T(4t+3,2)=4t+1, and T(4t+4,2)=4t+2. The column now contains all the numbers from 1 to 4t+4. Repeating this argument established the theorem. QED
Comments from Bob Selcoe, Jun 29 2016: (Start)
From Theorem 2, column 2 (i.e., terms a((j^2+j+4)/2), j>=1) is a permutation. After a(3)=3, the differences of successive terms follow the pattern a(n) = 3 [+1, -3, +1, +5], so a(5)=4, a(8)=1, a(12)=2, a(17)=7, a(23)=8, a(30)=5...
Similarly, column 3 (i.e., terms a((j^2+j+6)/2), j>=2) appears to be a permutation, but with the pattern after a(6)=2 and a(9)=5 being 5 [+1, -3, -2, +8, -5, +3, +1, +5, +1, -3, +1, -2, +8, -3, +1, +5]. (See A274614 and A274615.)
I conjecture that other similar cyclical difference patterns should hold for any column k (i.e., terms a((j^2+j+2*k)/2), j>=k-1), so that each column is a permutation.
Also, the differences in column 1 are a 1-cycle ([+1]), in column 2 a 4-cycle after the first term, and in column 3 a 16-cycle after the second term. Perhaps the cycle lengths are 4^(k-1) starting after j=k-1. (End) WARNING: These comments may be wrong - see COMMENTS section. - N. J. A. Sloane, Sep 26 2022

Similar to A274528, but the triangle here is a right triangle.
The same rule applied to an equilateral triangle gives A274528.
By analogy, the offset for both rows and columns is the same as the offset of A274528.
We construct the triangle by reading from left to right in each row, starting with T(0,0) = 0.
Presumably every diagonal and every column is also a permutation of the nonnegative integers, but the proof does not seem so straightforward. Of course neither the rows nor the antidiagonals are permutations of the nonnegative integers, since they are finite in length.
Omar E. Pol's conjecture that every column and every diagonal of the triangle is a permutation of the nonnegative integers is true: see the link. - N. J. A. Sloane, Jun 07 2017
It appears that the numbers generally appear for the first time in or near the right border of the triangle.
Theorem 1: the middle diagonal gives A000004 (the zero sequence).
Proof: T(0,0) = 0 by definition. For the next rows we have that in row 1 there are no zeros because the first term belongs to a column that contains a zero and the second term belongs to a diagonal that contains a zero. In row 2 the unique zero is T(2,1) = 0 because the preceding term belongs to a column that contains a zero and the following term belongs to a diagonal that contains a zero. Then we have two recurrences for all rows of the triangle:
a) If T(n,k) = 0 then row n+1 does not contain a zero because every term belongs to a column that contains a zero or it belongs to a diagonal that contains a zero.
b) If T(n,k) = 0 the next zero is T(n+2,k+1) because every preceding term in row n+2 is a positive integer because it belongs to a column that contains a zero and, on the other hand, the column, the diagonal and the antidiagonal of T(n+2,k+1) do not contain zeros.
Finally, since both T(n,k) = 0 and T(n+2,k+1) = 0 are located in the middle diagonal, the other terms of the middle diagonal are zeros, or in other words: the middle diagonal gives A000004 (the zero sequence). QED
Theorem 2: all zeros are in the middle diagonal.
Proof: consider the first n rows of the triangle. Every element located above or at the right-hand side of the middle diagonal must be positive because it belongs to a diagonal that contains one of the zeros of the middle diagonal. On the other hand every element located below the middle diagonal must be positive because it belongs to a column that contains one of the zeros of the middle diagonal, hence there are no zeros outside of the middle diagonal, or in other words: all zeros are in the middle diagonal. QED
From Hartmut F. W. Hoft, Jun 12 2017: (Start)
T(2k,k) = 0, for all k >= 0, and T(n,{(n-1)/2,(n+2)/2,(n-2)/2,(n+1)/2}) = 1, for all n >= 0 with n mod 8 = {1,2,4,5} respectively, and no 0's or 1's occur in other positions. The triangle of positions of 0's and 1's for this sequence is the triangle in the Comment section of A274651 with row and column indices and values shifted down by one.
The sequence of rows containing 1's is A047613 (n mod 8 = {1,2,4,5}), those containing only 1's is A016813 (n mod 8 = {1,5}), those containing both 0's and 1's is A047463 (n mod 8 = {2,4}), those containing only 0's is A047451 (n mod 8 = {0,6}), and those containing neither 0's nor 2's is A004767 (n mod 8 = {3,7}).

Conjecture 1: The triangle is a permutation of the natural numbers.
Let F(k) and G(n) be the set of prime factors of all terms in a given column k or diagonal n (diagonal n originates at T(n,1)).
Conjecture 2: Each F(k) and G(n) is a permutation of the prime numbers (except F(1) and G(1), which obviously also contain 1).
Let S be a set of terms whose members have certain specified characteristics (e.g., even numbers or prime numbers). Sets S whose members appear in due course in ascending order include:
(a) Prime numbers (so 2 appears first, followed by 3, 5, 7, 11, ...);
(b) Numbers which have exactly the same prime factors (so for example: {6, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 54, 72, ...} appear ascending order because their prime factors are {2,3});
(c) Powers of prime(j), because they are a subcategory of (b) (so for example: 5 appears first, followed by 25, 125, 625, 3125, ...).

Similar in construction to A274651; the difference between them is that here, each row terminates at k when it contains all numbers <= k (hence this triangle is irregular, while A274651 is not).
Conjecture: All columns and diagonals are permutations of the natural numbers; a proof will be more involved than for A274651.
Row lengths are not (weakly) monotonically increasing: row 25 has 42 terms, row 26 has 41 terms. Row indices where row lengths decrease are: 26, 64, 144, 199, 326, 400, ... . - Alois P. Heinz, Mar 17 2017

The value for X is 5 because 1, 2, and 3 are on the diagonal; 4 and 6 are on the antidiagonal; and 4 and 6 are in the row. Therefore 5 is the smallest value that can be inserted so that no diagonal, antidiagonal, or row contains a repeated term.
