[seqfan] Re: Sequences taken from straight lines through the prime spiral.

[Brad Klee]

The ASCII drawings look nice, but the spiral plane figure does not seem
as special as Pascal's triangle (where linear intersections lead into
hypergeometric theory).  A135757 gives another example of Neil's
suggested construction besides A317187. Relative to core sequence
A000984, what is the novelty of A135757 ? Perhaps polynomial
indexing will lead to something interesting, but we should be careful
to avoid cranking out essentially duplicate entries.

Cheers,

Brad
