Good.

No this is not a theorem, I don't know why you keep writing that false
consequence of yours.

An element means a set that is an element of a set, not every set here
is an element of a set, only a singleton set is permitted to be an
element of a set, so it is NOT true that for all x. some y. x={y},
this is only true of singleton sets.

What do you mean by "set" as you wrote, note that the word "set" as I
used it applies to "every" object in this theory, it doesn't mean at
all the meaning attached to it in NBG where in NBG the term "set"
means a class that is an element of a class, the situation is not so
here, here in this theory the term "set" applies to every object
whether it is singleton or not. The above axiom is saying that if a
set x is an element of some set y then x must be singleton. This
theory doesn't say that every set is an element of a set. In this
theory sets that are not singletons (i.e. the empty set or the
multiple-ton sets) are not permitted to be elements of sets, Only
singletons can be elements of sets.

Yes
