This bijection of binary trees swaps the left and right subtree of a binary tree, but ONLY if either of them is empty. If both the left and right hand side tree is nonempty, fixes the tree.
.A...B.C...D.......A...B.C...D.....
..\./...\./.........\./...\./........................
...x.....x...--->....x.....x.......A...B.......B...A.
....\.../.............\.../.........\./..--->...\./..
......x.................x............x...........x...
..............................(where either A or B is (), a leaf)
This automorphism demonstrates that not every clause in clause-representations of A089840 is equal to some (minimally represented) element of Thompson's group V.
