COMMENTS
Decree that (row 1) = (1). For n >= 2, row n consists of numbers in decreasing order generated as follows: x+1 for each x in row n-1 together with 4/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
4/1 ... 2/1
5/1 ... 3/1
6/1 ... 4/3 ... 4/5
7/1 ... 7/3 ... 9/5 ... 2/3
8/1 ... 10/3 ... 14/5 .. 20/9 .. 12/7 .. 5/3 .. 4/7
The numerators, by rows: 1,4,2,5,3,6,4,4,,7,7,9,2,8,10,14,20,12,5,4.
