COMMENTS
Number of chord diagrams (equivalent up to reflection) that do not contain any simple chords, e.g., 121332 contains the simple chord 33.

FORMULA
a(n) ~ (2n/e)^n / (e * sqrt(2)).
a(n) = (|A000806(n)| + A271218(n)) / 2.
a(n)/A132101(n) ~ 1/e.
EXAMPLE
For n=0 the a(0)=1 solution is { ∅ }.
For n=1, a(1)=0 since the only assembly graph with one rigid vertex is the loop 11.
For n=2, the a(2)=1 solution is { 1212 }.
For n=3, the a(3)=4 solutions are { 121323, 123123, 123231, 123132 }.
