This Catalan bijection reflects the interpretations (pp)-(rr) of Stanley, obtained with the "descending slope mapping" from the Dyck paths encoded by A014486.

EXAMPLE
Map the Dyck paths (Stanley's interpretation (i)) to noncrossing Murasaki-diagrams (Stanley's interpretation (rr)) by drawing a vertical line above each descending slope \ and connect those vertical lines that originate from the same height without any lower valleys between, as in illustration below:
..................................................
.....___________..................................
....|...|....._.|.................................
....|..||...||.||..................___________....
....|..||...||.||.................|...|...._..|...
....|..||../\|.||..i.e..equal.to..|.|.|.|.|.|.|...

.../\/..\/......\.................|.|.|.|.|.|.|...
...10110011100100=11492=A014486(250)
Now the Catalan bijection gma086431 gives the parenthesization such that the corresponding Murasaki-diagram is a reflection of the original one:
.....___________..................................
....|...._..|...|.................................

...10111010001100=11916=A014486(296)
