A257332 Construct spiral of numbers on square grid as in Comments; sequence gives terms along the "7" arm. 13

%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.
