\subsubsection{For $D \not\in \py, R \in \py$:}
-xxx up to here
+$D \neq C$.
+
+By Tip Contents
+$D \isin L \equiv D \isin \baseof{L}$ and
+$D \isin R \equiv D \isin \baseof{R}$.
+
+If $\baseof{L} = M$, trivially $D \isin M \equiv D \isin \baseof{L}.$
+Whereas if $\baseof{L} = \baseof{M}$, by definition of $\base$,
+$\patchof{M} = \patchof{L} = \py$, so by Tip Contents of $M$,
+$D \isin M \equiv D \isin \baseof{M} \equiv D \isin \baseof{L}$.
+
+So $D \isin M \equiv D \isin L$ and by $\merge$,
+$D \isin C \equiv D \isin R$. But from Unique Base,
+$\baseof{C} = R$ so $D \isin C \equiv D \isin \baseof{C}$. OK.
