COMMENTS

As a fractal sequence, A131967 properly contains itself as a subsequence (infinitely many times).

Step 1: List the Farey fractions by order, like this:

order 1: 0/1 1/1

order 2: 0/1 1/2 1/1

order 3: 0/1 1/3 1/2 2/3 1/1, etc.

Step 2: Replace each a/b by its position when all the segments in Step 1 are concatenated and each distinct predecessor of a/b is counted just once, getting

1 2

1 3 2

1 4 3 5 2, etc.

Step 3: Concatenate the segments found in Step 2.
