No, I'm not. It's just that if something is equal to everything
then there can't be anything else.

Why "each"? You seem to be taking X as a plural variable, so that
it can take all values at once.

But with da and de as singular variables, it says:

su'o da poi ro de zo'u da du de zo'u da broda
[Ex:Ay x=y] x broda 

There is some x which for all y, x=y, such that x brodas.

That can only be true if the Universe contains a single thing, and it brodas.
