TODO: how long would this be?
So we see that all of these rules resolve quite quickly and do not go into each other. `S` however offers some problems, in that:
``
C_0 = Z
C_i = S(C_{i-1})
D_i = C_i(S)(S)
``
So we see that `D_i` goes somewhat simply into `C_i`, and `C_i` is recursive giving:
``
S^i(Z)
``
Calculate the nine first digits of:
``
D_a(D_b)(D_c)(C_d)(A)(e)
``
Removing `D_a`:
``
S^i(Z)S)(S)(D_b)(D_c)(C_d)(A)(e)
