COMMENTS
The polynomials encoded by these numbers could also be called "Fernandez spiral polynomials" after Neil Fernandez who discovered sequence A078510 which is obtained when they are evaluated at X=1.
The polynomial recurrence uses the same composition rules as the Fibonacci polynomials (A206296), but with the neighborhood rules of A078510, where the other polynomial is taken from the nearest inner neighbor (A265409) when the polynomials are arranged as a spiral into a square grid. See A265409 for the illustration.

FORMULA
a(0) = 1, a(1) = 2, and for n >= 2, a(n) = A003961(a(n-1)) * a(A265409(n)).
Other identities. For all n >= 0:
A078510(n) = A001222(a(n)). [When each polynomial is evaluated at x=1.]
A265407(n) = A248663(a(n)). [at x=2 over the field GF(2).]
