I was messing around in class, and I found that there's a small set of rules one can use to draw a directed acylic graph (it looks like a tree, but isn't) such that the number of nodes at a distance d from a "start" node is equal to the (d+1)th Fibonacci number.
The graph is pretty neat looking. Like I said, the graph is infinite and recursively defined (sort of... at least I give an algorithm for producing as large a graph as you want) Maybe the neatest thing about it is its self-similarity and symmetry. I was even able to prove that the property held. I haven't looked into this at all, as in, seen if it's already been done (I'm sure it has) or if it means anything deep (I'm sure it doesn't).
Is this something worth pursuing, or is it just a neat observation that I should let be?
Math is awesome.
