Hardy Diagonals

Hardy's reasons for constructing H(m,2) are beyond our scope. We only exhibit his simple algorithm. In the table below, each row is created from the row above by an obvious sieve process. The diagonal is then read.

Hardy repeats this process recursively, but his higher order sequences do not seem to have reappeared in the literature.
