Comment (by tscrim):

 `s14 |-> (1,4) (2,3)` is the correct image as `s14` should correspond to
 flipping the entire interval `[1, 4]`.

 I asked Peter Tingley, who asked Joel Kamnitzer, and they do not know of a
 normal form.

 What do both of you think about trying to prove an analog of Matsumoto's
 theorem for the cactus group, i.e., that all reduced words are related to
 each other by just applying the defining relations, as per comment:15?
