Abstract
The type A cluster configuration space, commonly known as , is the very affine part of the binary geometry associated with the associahedron. The tropicalization of can be realized as the space of phylogenetic trees and its signed tropicalizations as the dual-associahedron subfans. We give a concise overview of this construction and propose an extension to type C. The type C cluster configuration space arises from the binary geometry associated with the cyclohedron. We define a space of axially symmetric phylogenetic trees containing many dual-associahedron and dual-cyclohedron subfans. We conjecturally realize the tropicalization of as the defined space and its signed tropicalizations as the aforementioned subfans.
