\land [\baseof{L} = M \lor \baseof{L} = \baseof{M}] \\

\subsubsection{For $R \in \pn$:}
-By Tip Merge condition on $R$,
+By Tip Merge condition on $R$ and since $M \le R$,
$A \le \baseof{L} \implies A \le R$, so
$A \le R \lor A \le \baseof{L} \equiv A \le R$.
Thus $A \le C \equiv A \le R$.
\subsection{Tip Contents}
+We need worry only about $C \in \py$.
+And $\patchof{C} = \patchof{L}$
+so $L \in \py$ so $L \haspatch \p$. We will use the unique base,
+and coherence and patch inclusion, of $C$ as just proved.
+
+Firstly we show $C \haspatch \p$: If $R \in \py$, then $R \haspatch
+\p$ and by coherence/inclusion $C \haspatch \p$ . If $R \not\in \py$
+then by Tip Merge $M = \baseof{L}$ so by Base Acyclic and definition
+of $\nothaspatch$, $M \nothaspatch \p$. So by coherence/inclusion $C
+\haspatch \p$ (whether $R \haspatch \p$ or $\nothaspatch$).
+
We will consider some $D$ and prove the Exclusive Tip Contents form.
-We use the Coherence of $C$ as just proved.
+
+\subsubsection{For $D \in \py$:}
+$C \haspatch \p$ so by definition of $\haspatch$, $D \isin C \equiv D
+\le C$. OK.
+
+\subsubsection{For $D \not\in \py, R \not\in \py$:}
+
+$D \neq C$. By Tip Contents of $L$,
+$D \isin L \equiv D \isin \baseof{L}$, and by Tip Merge condition,
+$D \isin L \equiv D \isin M$. So by definition of $\merge$, $D \isin
+C \equiv D \isin R$. And $R = \baseof{C}$ by Unique Base of $C$.
+Thus $D \isin C \equiv D \isin \baseof{C}$. OK.
+

xxx the coherence is not that useful ?

xxx need to recheck this
