To evaluate a(n) consider the neighbors of a(n) that are present in the spiral when a(n) should be a new term in the spiral.
For the same idea but for a hexagonal spiral see A278619; and for a right triangle see A278645. It appears that the same idea for an isosceles triangle and also for a square array gives A030237. - Omar E. Pol, Dec 04 2016

EXAMPLE
|
Illustration of initial terms as a square spiral:
.
. 84----80----76-----72----37
. | |
. 164 4-----3-----2 35
. | | | |
. 172 7 1-----1 33
. | | |
. 180 8-----15----16----17
. |
. 188---368---384---401---418
.
a(21) = 188 because the sum of its two largest neighbors is 180 + 8 = 188.
a(22) = 368 because the sum of its two largest neighbors is 180 + 188 = 368.
a(23) = 384 because the sum of its two largest neighbors is 368 + 16 = 384.
a(24) = 401 because the sum of its two largest neighbors is 384 + 17 = 401.
a(25) = 418 because the sum of its two largest neighbors is 401 + 17 = 418.
a(26) = 435 because the sum of its two largest neighbors is 418 + 17 = 435.
