If we label the generations of cells turned ON by consecutive numbers we get the cell pattern shown below:
9...............9
.888.888.888.888.
.878.878.878.878.
.8866688.8866688.
...656.....656...
.8866444.4446688.
.878.434.434.878.
.888.4422244.888.
.......212.......
.888.4422244.888.
.878.434.434.878.
.8866444.4446688.
...656.....656...
.8866688.8866688.
.878.878.878.878.
.888.888.888.888.

In the first generation, only the central "1" is ON, a(1)=1. In the next generation, we turn ON eight "2" around the central cell, leading to a(2)=a(1)+8=9. In the third generation, four "3" are turned ON at the vertices of the square, a(3)=a(2)+4=13. And so on...
