No, identity is the *relation* between A and itself.
If "A" were the identity, then all things which are equal to themselves
would be equal to each other. Is that why you preach that A = the
universe?
If a definition is fallacious for including a paraphrase of the word
defined, then *all* definitions are fallacious. And yet they're still
useful.
