+\subsection{Non-Topbloke merges}
+
+We require both $\patchof{L} = \bot$ and $\patchof{R} = \bot$.
+I.e. not only is it forbidden to merge into a Topbloke-controlled
+branch without Topbloke's assistance, it is also forbidden to
+merge any Topbloke-controlled branch into any plain git branch.
+
+Given those conditions, Tip Merge and Merge Acyclic do not apply.
+And $Y \not\in \py$ so $\neg [ Y \haspatch \p ]$ so neither
+Merge Ends condition applies. Good.
