COMMENTS
Generation g(0) of T is (0,0). Thereafter, successive generations accrue according to the rule that if (j,k) is in T, then (j,k+1) and (k,j+k) are in T. An equivalent tree is generated as follows: start with the tree of polynomials, T*, having g(0) = 0 and rule that if p(x) is in T*, then p(x) + 1 and x*p(x) are in T*; then put x = (1+sqrt(5))/2, the golden ratio, and remove duplicates as they occur. Or, to obtain a third guise for T, in T* replace x^2 by x + 1 in every polynomial (e.g., replace x^3 by 2x+1, etc.), and remove duplicates as they occur.
Every ordered pair of nonnegative integers occurs exactly once in T.

FORMULA
Conjecture: |g(n)| = |g(n-1)| + |g(n-3)| for n >= 12.
Empirical g.f.: (x-1)*(x^2+x+1)*(x^8+2*x^7+2*x^6+2*x^5+x^4+x^3+x^2+1) / (x^3+x-1). - Colin Barker, Feb 01 2015
EXAMPLE
Ordered pairs (i,j) are abbreviated as i,j in this list of 7 generations of T:
g(0): 0,0
g(1): 0,1
g(2): 0,2 1,1
g(3): 0,3 1,2 2,2
g(4): 0,4 1,3 2,3 2,4 3,3
g(5): 0,5 1,4 2,5 3,4 3,5 3,6 4,4 4,6
g(6): 0,6 1,5 2,6 3,7 4,5 4,7 4,8 5,5 5,7 5,8 6,9 6,10
MATHEMATICA
t = NestList[DeleteDuplicates[Flatten[Map[{# + {0, 1}, {Last[#], Total[#]}} &, #], 1]] &, {{0, 0}}, 30]; s[0] = t[[1]]; s[n_] := s[n] = Union[t[[n + 1]], s[n - 1]];
g[n_] := Complement[s[n], s[n - 1]]; g[0] = {{0, 0}};
