6. The set \( S \) contains some real numbers, according to the following three rules. (i) \( \frac{1}{1} \) is in \( S \). (ii) If \( \frac{a}{b} \) is in \( S \), where \( \frac{a}{b} \) is written in lowest terms (that is, \( a \) and \( b \) have highest common factor 1 ), then \( \frac{b}{2 a} \) is in \( S \). (iii) If \( \frac{a}{b} \) and \( \frac{c}{d} \) are in \( S \), where they are written in lowest terms, then \( \frac{a+c}{b+d} \) is in \( S \). These rules are exhaustive: if these rules do not imply that a number is in \( S \), then that number is not in \( S \). Can you describe which numbers are in \( S ? \)
