COMMENTS
Let S be the set of numbers defined by these rules: 1 is in S, and if nonzero x is in S, then x + 1 and -1/x are in S. Then S is the set of all rational numbers, produced in generations as follows: g(1) = (1), g(2) = (2, -1), g(3) = (3, -1/2, 0), g(4) = (4, -1/3, 1/2), ... For n > 4, once g(n-1) = (c(1), ..., c(z)) is defined, g(n) is formed from the vector (c(1)+1, -1/c(1), c(2)+1, -1/c(2), ..., c(z)+1, -1/c(z)) by deleting previously generated elements. Let S' denote the sequence formed by concatenating the generations.

EXAMPLE
The denominators and numerators are read from the rationals in S':
1/1, 2/1, -1/1, 3/1, -1/2, 0/1, 4/1, -1/3, 1/2, ...
MATHEMATICA
g[1] := {1}; z = 20; g[n_] := g[n] = DeleteCases[Flatten[Transpose[{# + 1, -1/#}]]&[DeleteCases[g[n - 1], 0]], Apply[Alternatives, Flatten[Map[g, Range[n - 1]]]]]; Flatten[Map[g, Range[7]]] (* ordered rationals *)
Map[g, Range[z]]; Table[Length[g[i]], {i, 1, z}] (* cf A003410 *)
f = Flatten[Map[g, Range[z]]];
Take[Denominator[f], 100] (* A226130 *)
Take[Numerator[f], 100] (* A226131 *)
p1 = Flatten[Table[Position[f, n], {n, 1, z}]] (* A226136 *)
p2 = Flatten[Table[Position[f, -n], {n, 0, z}]];
