Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

%N Construct spiral of numbers on square grid as in Comments; sequence gives terms along the "7" arm.
%C Place numbers 2,3,5,7 clockwise around a grid point (see illustrations in links). Divide grid into four spiral arms.
%C Extend each arm one step at a time, in rotation: first the 2 arm, then the 3 arm, then the 5 arm, then the 7 arm, then the 2 arm, etc.
%C Rule for extending: next term in arm is smallest number such that each cell in the grid is relatively prime to its eight neighbors. Every term in the entire grid must be different.
%C The four arms are A257329, A257330, A257331, A257332.
%C Conjecture: every number > 1 appears in one of the four arms.
