Floyd's Triangle is a right-angled triangular array of natural numbers, where the numbers increment continuously without resetting on new rows.
Because loop variables naturally reset. The column resets to 1 on every new row, but Floyd's Triangle requires a continuous, non-resetting count.
It is an architectural principle where the loops are solely responsible for coordinate mapping (the geometry), while external variables manage the actual data being inserted.
