This is one of those fun reads because it unifies quite a few things that I’ve read about or been interested in recently — Hilbert curves for geospatial indexing in dbs, Gray codes, and fractals! And it’s all fairly intuitive — the 1-bit shift makes sense for space traversal and makes the numbers curve pattern easier to reason about.
