We consider a simple model for balanced parenthesis checking. Let $\mathcal R=\{\texttt{(())}\rightarrow \texttt{A},\texttt{(A)}\rightarrow\texttt{A},\texttt{AA}\rightarrow\texttt{A}\}$ be a set of rules for phrase reduction. Ideally, any given phrase is balanced if and only if the model is able to reduce the phrase to $\texttt{A}$ by some arbitrary sequence of rule applications. For example, to show $\texttt{((()))}$ is balanced we can perform the following sequence of reductions. \[\texttt{((()))}\rightarrow\texttt{(A)}\rightarrow\texttt{A}\qquad \checkmark\] Unfortunately, the above set of rules $\mathcal R$ is not complete, since there exist parenthetical phrases which are balanced but which are not balanced according to $\mathcal R$. Determine the number of such phrases of length $14$.
