What does R2-S1-A10 tell us?

Not sure where you're going with this. The rule you cited tells us pretty much the story.

• Live ball appeal?
• A play was being made on the BR @ 1B?
• BR stayed at or near 1B? i.e. not trying to stretch a hit
• Base umpire should initially rule safe and then wait to see if the appeal is made?
• Cannot call time out as the ball is still live? (Assuming no catastrophic injury.)
• I give up. What DOES R2-S1-A10 tell us?
