There is no premise without A=A. For there to be a premise there has to be a premise. A has to =A. If you really agree with that you'll realize all premises imply the truth of the law of identity so when the OP thinks he is creating a premise without it he's wrong. You can't have hypotheticals without the law of identity it doesn't matter what universe it is or whether it's existent.
