+\subsection{No Replay}
+
+By $\merge$,
+$D \isin C \implies D \isin L \lor D \isin R^+ \lor D = C$.
+So Ingredients Prevent Replay applies. $\qed$

+\subsection{Base Acyclic}
+
+Consider some $D \isin C$. We will show that $D \not\in \pqy$.
+By $\merge$, $D \isin L \lor D \isin R^+ \lor D = C$.
+
+For $D \isin L$, Base Acyclic for L suffices. For $D \isin R^+$,
+Insertion Acyclic suffices. For $D = C$, trivial. $\qed$.
