COMMENTS
Decree that (row 1) = (1) and (row 2) = (3,2). For n >= 4, row n consists of numbers in decreasing order generated as follows: x+1 for each x in row n-1 together with 3/x for each x in row n-1, and duplicates are rejected as they occur. Every positive rational number occurs exactly once in the resulting array.

EXAMPLE
First 6 rows of the array of rationals:
1/1
3/1 ... 2/1
4/1 ... 3/2
5/1 ... 5/2 ... 3/4
6/1 ... 7/2 ... 7/4 ... 6/5 ... 3/5
7/1 ... 9/2 ... 11/4 .. 11/5 .. 12/7 .. 8/5 .. 6/7 .. 1/2
The numerators, by rows: 1,3,2,4,3,5,5,3,6,7,7,6,3,7,9,11,11,12,8,6,1.
MATHEMATICA
z = 12; g[1] = {1}; f1[x_] := x + 1; f2[x_] := 3/x; h[1] = g[1];

h[n_] := h[n] = Union[h[n - 1], g[n - 1]];
g[n_] := g[n] = Complement [b[n], Intersection[b[n], h[n]]]
u = Table[Reverse[g[n]], {n, 1, z}]; v = Flatten[u];
