+
+Given $L$, create a Topbloke base branch initial commit $B$.
+\gathbegin
+ B \hasparents \{ L \}
+\gathnext
+ \patchof{B} = \pa{B}
+\gathnext
+ D \isin B \equiv D \isin L \lor D = B
+\end{gather}

+\subsection{Conditions}
+
+\[ \eqn{ Ingredients }{
+ \patchof{L} = \pa{L} \lor \patchof{L} = \bot

+\[ \eqn{ Non-recursion }{
+ L \not\in \pa{B}

+\subsection{No Replay}
+
+If $\patchof{L} = \pa{L}$, trivial by Base Acyclic for $L$.
