\section{Create Tip}
-xxx tbd
+Given a Topbloke base $B$, create a tip branch initial commit B.
+\gathbegin
+ C \hasparents \{ B \}
+\gathnext
+ \patchof{B} = \pay{Q}
+\gathnext
+ D \isin C \equiv D \isin B \lor D = C
+\end{gather}
+
+\subsection{Conditions}
+
+\[ \eqn{ Ingredients }{
+ \patchof{B} = \pan{Q}
+}\]
+
+\subsection{No Replay}
+
+Ingredients Prevent Replay applies. $\qed$
+
+\subsection{Unique Base}
+
+Trivially, $\pendsof{C}{\pan{Q}} = \{B\}$ so $\baseof{C} = B$.
+
+\subsection{Tip Contents}
+
+Consider some arbitrary commit $D$. If $D = C$, trivially satisfied.
+
+If $D \neq C$, $D \isin C \equiv D \isin B$.
+By Base Acyclic of $B$, $D \isin B \implies D \not\in \pay{Q}$.
+So $D \isin C \equiv D \isin \baseof{B}$.
