Wrong. I don't care what your hypothetical is, A=A is already presupposed, 2+2=4 is already presupposed because it's truth is based on A=A (2+2=4 because four things and two and two things is the same thing, it has the same identity... A=A)... so when you think you are describing an "if X then Y" situation without the law of identity and without 2+2=4 then you're WRONG. It doesn't matter what universe it is.
