COMMENTS
The spiral track being used here is the same as in A274640, except that the starting cell here is indexed 0 (as in A274641).
The central cell gets index 0 (and we fill it in with the value a(0)=1).
"Can be seen from" means "that are on the same row, column, diagonal, or antidiagonal as".

EXAMPLE
The central portion of the spiral is:
.
7----4----2
| |
13 1----1 239
| |
23---42---76--146
.
After the terms a(0) to a(8) of the spiral have been filled in, the next cell contains 76+42+23+1+4 = 146 = a(9).
