Looks a bit like Ford circles over Farey fractions

fordCircles[n_]:=Map[{{#,1/(2 Denominator[#]^2)},1/(2 Denominator[#]^2)}&,FareySequence[n]]

fordCirclesGraph[n_]:=Graphics[
  Map[Circle@@fordCircles[n][[#]]&,Range@Length@fordCircles[n]],
  PlotRange->{{0,1},{Automatic,0.5}}
]

The whole series seems to have unusual symmetry polynomials.
