The Pell Tower and OstronometryArticle

Authors: Robbert Fokkink

Conway and Ryba considered a table of bi-infinite Fibonacci sequences and discovered new interesting patterns. We extend their considerations to tables that are defined by the recurrence $X_{n+1}=dX_n+X_{n-1}$ for natural numbers $d$. In our search for new patterns we run into a Red Wall and exotic numeration systems.
