In other words, gobbledy-gook phrase 1 is defined to be gobbledy-gook
phrase 2?

If you really want to understand the relationship between x and {x},
show the same concept in other contexts, especially formal ones (as is
generally the case.)
In Recursion Theory: There is a recursive function wr(x) such that for
any natural number M the value of wr(M) is a computer program that
outputs M and then halts.
In Set Theory: For anything x there is a set { x } that contains just
the value of x.
See the relationship?
These are useful axioms.
