Jul 10, 2013 at 5:42 comment added Noam D. Elkies A few minutes on Google turn up "On Musical Self-Similarity" by Di Gabriel Pareyón, which reports on p.359 that the piece was written "under the advice of mathmeatician Heinz-Otto Peitgen" and "exhibits recursive qualities, whilst its hemiola rhythmic cells of 2 to 3 recall the binary-ternary geometry of the devil's staircase." That's a start, and maybe there's a more thorough exploration to be found.
Jul 10, 2013 at 5:38 comment added Noam D. Elkies This is a legitimate question since Ligeti's etude seems to be specifically inspired by the mathematical function (see monashcomposers.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/ligeti-13-page1.png for the start, and hear youtube.com/watch?v=1ZTaiDHqs5s for the whole thing). It might even belong on mathoverflow, at least as a reference request for a published exploration of this connection.
