Consider the diagram with overlapping periodic curves that appears in the Links section (figure 1). The number of curves that contain the point [n,0] equals the number of divisors of n. The simpler interpretation of the diagram is that the curve of diameter d represents the divisor d of n. Now here we introduce a new interpretation: the curve of diameter d that contains the point [n,0] represents the divisor c of n, where c = n/d. This model has the property that each odd quadrant centered at [n,0] contains the curves that represent the even divisors of n, and each even quadrant centered at [n,0] contains the curves that represent the odd divisors of n.

We can find the n-th row of the triangle as follows:

Consider only the semicircumferences that contain the point [n,0].

In the second quadrant from bottom to top we can see the curves that represent the odd divisors of n in decreasing order. Also we can see these curves in the fourth quadrant from top to bottom.

Then, if n is an even number, in the first quadrant from bottom to top we can see the curves that represent the even divisors of n in decreasing order. Also we can see these curves in the third quadrant from top to bottom (see example).

Sequences of the same family are shown below:

-----------------------------------

Triangle Order of divisors of n

-----------------------------------

A299481 odd v t.w. even ^

A299483 odd ^ t.w. even v

A319844 even v t.w. odd ^

A319845 even ^ t.w. odd v

This seq. odd v t.w. even v

A319847 odd ^ t.w. even ^

A319848 even v t.w. odd v

A319849 even ^ t.w. odd ^

-----------------------------------

In the above table we have that:

"even v" means "even divisors of n in decreasing order".

"even ^" means "even divisors of n in increasing order".

"odd v" means "odd divisors of n in decreasing order".

"odd ^" means "odd divisors of n in increasing order".

"t.w." means "together with".

For n = 12 the divisors of 12 are [1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12]. The odd divisors of 12 in decreasing order are [3, 1], and the even divisors of 12 in decreasing order are [12, 6, 4, 2], so the 12th row of triangle is [3, 1, 12, 6, 4, 2].
On the other hand, consider the diagram that appears in the Links section (figure 1). Then consider only the semicircumferences that contain the point [12,0]. In the second quadrant, from bottom to top, we can see the curves with diameters [4, 12]. Also we can see these curves in the fourth quadrant from top to bottom. The associated numbers c = 12/d are [3, 1] respectively. These are the odd divisors of 12 in decreasing order. Then, in the first quadrant, from bottom to top, we can see the curves with diameters [1, 2, 3, 6]. Also we can see these curves in the third quadrant from top to bottom. The associated numbers c = 12/d are [12, 6, 4, 2] respectively. These are the even divisors of n in decreasing order. Finally all numbers c obtained are [3, 1, 12, 6, 4, 2] equaling the 12th row of triangle.
