%N Involution of natural numbers induced by Catalan automorphism *A089852 acting on the binary trees/parenthesizations encoded by A014486/A063171.

%C This automorphism effects the following transformation on the unlabeled rooted plane binary trees (letters A, B, C refer to arbitrary subtrees located on those nodes and () stands for an implied terminal node).

%C ...B...C...........B...A

%C ....\./.............\./

%C .A...x....-->....C...x.................A..().........A...()..

%C ..\./.............\./...................\./....-->....\./...

%C ...x...............x.....................x.............x....

%C (a . (b . c)) -> (c . (b . a)) ______ (a . ()) ---> (a . ())

%C In terms of S-expressions, this automorphism swaps car and cddr of an S-exp if its length > 1, if possible, otherwise keeps it intact.

%C See the Karttunen OEIS-Wiki link for a detailed explanation of how to obtain a given integer sequence from this definition.
