I think Stern-Brocot trees are one of the most under-appreciated things in all of mathematics, and think there is a TON still to unpack here (For instance, the conceptual "meaning" of Euler's number e has a wild interpretation in the tree and I don't think its well understood)

Im working on some code to better help visualize these things, as to my knowledge, they've only been written by hand before. Working on an n-dimensional tree next. If you want to help heres the github https://github.com/jconorgrogan/Stern-Brocot-Tree-exploration

To give a quick example why it's cool: you can find Phi, the golden ratio Simply start at 1/1 go right, then left, then right down the tree(and repeat forever as long as you want). The "operation space" of this number is simply the oscillation of R and L; and this gets you Fib sequence too!
