Ok, I think I'm beginning to understand (just watched a lecture on symmetric groups too). But pic related is still confusing to me.

So I'd begin with the innermost function, (1364)
>1 2 3 4 5 6
>3 2 6 1 5 4

What is the procedure for applying the outside function correctly though? I would (45) would mean
>1 2 3 4 5 6
>3 2 6 5 4 4

Since I just remapped 4 to 5, and 5 to 4. But that clearly isn't right.
