The Bruhat-Tits tree of SL(2)SL(2)

The Bruhat-Tits tree of the special linear group SL(2)SL(2):

In the 2-adic AdS/CFT correspondence this tree plays the role of anti de Sitter spacetime. This may be regarded (at some finite depth truncation) as a tree-tensor network state

(As in HMSS 16, HLM 19. But maybe one wants the Poincaré-dual networks, instead, as in HMPS 18?)
