Given the definition of subsets and equality of sets: - A is a subset of B if x is an element of A implies that x is an element of B for every set x. - A = B if A is a subset of B and B is a subset of A Why is it impossible to decide whether two circular sets I = {I} and J = {J} are equal. I mean, the way is see it is that I is not an element of J, since only J is an element of J, so the two circular sets are not equal. What's wrong in my reasoning?
