The set {c} consists of the complete set of positive solutions to the short proof of the Crystallographic Restriction Theorem {1, 2, 3, 4, 6} (see A217290).
Let {V} = prime(a(n)) = {2, 3, 7, 31, 8191}. Then all elements of {V} follow form x^2 + x + 1 for some x in R; x = {(sqrt(5) - 1)/2, 1, 2, 5, 90}. (V + V(mod 2) - 2)/2 gives the complete set of Ramanujan-Nagell triangular numbers (A076046) = {0, 1, 3, 15, 4095} == (2^F_(c + 1) - 2)/2 (see A215929); F_n the n-th Fibonacci number (A000045).
Additionally, 2*V - 1 = {3, 5, 13, 61, 16381} is prime and, therefore, all elements of {V} are links in a Cunningham chain of the 2nd kind (see A005382).

EXAMPLE

2^(((1 - 2)^2 + (1 - 2))/2) + 0 = 2^(a(-1) - 1) + 0 = 1 = a(0).
2^(((2 - 2)^2 + (2 - 2))/2) + 1 = 2^(a(0) - 1) + 1 = 2 = a(1).
2^(((3 - 2)^2 + (3 - 2))/2) + 2 = 2^(a(1) - 1) + 2 = 4 = a(2).
2^(((4 - 2)^2 + (4 - 2))/2) + 3 = 2^(a(2) - 1) + 3 = 11 = a(3).
2^(((6 - 2)^2 + (6 - 2))/2) + 4 = 2^(a(3) - 1) + 4 = 1028 = a(4).
