Permutation of the natural numbers.
a(n) is a pairing function: a function that reversibly maps Z^{+} x Z^{+} onto Z^{+}, where Z^{+} is the set of integer positive numbers.
Layer is pair of sides of square from T(1,n) to T(n,n) and from T(n,n) to T(n,1).
Enumeration table T(n,k) layer by layer. The order of the list:
  T(1,1)=1;
  T(1,2), T(2,1), T(2,2);
  . . .
  T(1,n), T(3,n), ... T(n,3), T(n,1); T(n,2), T(n,4), ... T(4,n), T(2,n);
  . . .

			The start of the sequence as table:
   1   2   5  10  17  26 ...
