This appears to be summing two consecutive indices to get the next number of the sequence.
term 1 is one, term two is 1+1 and then the value of term two is 2^3.
Index of term 1 plus index of term 2 is 3. Term 3 is 3^3.
Index of term 2 plus index of term 3 is 5. Term 4 is 5^3
Looks like you want to add 3 and 4 to get 7. The 5th term would be 7^3.
