-- This is a tree whose nodes are infinite sets of --not individual-- odd integers.
-- The root is the set of odd integers {5[8]}, i.e the extensions.
-- Every node divides into 3 subsets, {0, 1, or 2}[3].
-- Each subset produces its 3 distinct child sets (resp. leaves, b-steps, s-steps).
-- Each child set is in its turn an infinite set of odd integers
also divisible into
subsets, {0, 1, or 2}[3].
-- An infinite predecessor tree results from
recursive application of the tree growth process.
