Non-Confluence Proof

Input
The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.
| 
f(f(x,y),z) | 
→ | 
f(x,f(y,z)) | 
| 
f(x,1) | 
→ | 
x | 
Proof
1 Non-Joinable Fork
        The system is not confluent due to the following forking derivations.  
        
| t0
 | 
= | 
f(f(y1,1),y3) | 
 | 
→1
 | 
f(y1,y3) | 
 | 
= | 
t1
 | 
| t0
 | 
= | 
f(f(y1,1),y3) | 
 | 
→ε
 | 
f(y1,f(1,y3)) | 
 | 
= | 
t1
 | 
            
        The two resulting terms cannot be joined for the following reason:
        - When applying the cap-function on both terms (where variables may be treated like constants)
            then the resulting terms do not unify.
