If two consecutive primes p and q appear in the table, then the column number in which p appears is the row number in which q appears. E.g., 23 is in column 3 and 29 is in row 3, 29 is in column 1 and 31 is in row 1, 113 is in column 7 and 127 is in row 7, 3643 is in column 8 and 3659 is in row 8.
Nonzero terms on the main diagonal are the terms of A054342.

FORMULA
T(n,k)=0 if n == k (mod 3) !== 0 (mod 3), with the exception of T(1,1)=5.
EXAMPLE
T(1,1)=5 because 5 is the only prime p whose predecessor and successor primes are p-2 and p+2, respectively (i.e., 3 and 7).
T(7,2)=127 because 127 is the smallest prime p whose predecessor and successor primes are p-14 and p+4, respectively (i.e., 113 and 131).
T(2,2)=0: the only set of three numbers {p-4, p, p+4} that are all prime is the set {3, 7, 11}, but these are not consecutive primes. (For every set of three integers {m-4, m, m+4}, exactly one of the three is divisible by 3.)
