Non-Confluence Proof

Input
The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.
| b | 
→ | 
a | 
| b | 
→ | 
c | 
| b | 
→ | 
h(h(c,a),f(f(b))) | 
| a | 
→ | 
f(a) | 
| b | 
→ | 
h(a,a) | 
Proof
1 Non-Joinable Fork
        The system is not confluent due to the following forking derivations.  
        
| t0
 | 
= | 
b | 
 | 
→ε
 | 
h(h(c,a),f(f(b))) | 
 | 
= | 
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.
