%N Irregular triangular array of denominators of the positive rational numbers ordered as in Comments.

%C Let F = A000045 (the Fibonacci numbers). Decree that (row 1) = (1) and (row 2) = (2). Thereafter, row n consists of F(n) numbers in decreasing order, specifically, F(n-1) numbers x+1 from x in row n-1, together with F(n-2) numbers x/(x+1) from x in row n-2. The resulting array is also obtained by deleting from the array at A243611 all except the positive numbers and then reversing the rows.
