Yes, this is among other things what I meant, please submit them to the
Oeis.

I meant, start from your (now 4) triangles and weigh them by edges:
making two versions: one where each edge is counted for each cycle it is
part of
(just multiply each cycle by its number of edges),
one more difficult but interesting, where each edge is counted only one
time for each graph.

And submit the row sums as well (but they might be in the OEIS)

Yes this is an important decomposition of A000088.
