I think the key are these terminological definitions:

"In order theory, a partial order is called well-founded if the 
corresponding strict order is a well-founded relation. If the order is a 
total order then it is called a well-order."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Well-founded_relation

So my tree "?" in question might have no infinite descend,
but it might not belong to the same total order, as the
other sets. But how exclude "?" ? The criteria of

transitive set is not violated:
trans(A) :<=> ∀ x , y : x ∈ A ∧ y ∈ x ⇒ y ∈ A
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transitive_Menge

One can easily verify that the above is satisfied by
the set "?". So what is violated? Well this
here is violate, namely each elememt should be

transitive as well, and so on:

"hereditarily transitive sets"
h-trans(A) :<=> trans(A) & ∀x(x ∈ A => h-trans(A))

Because the third branch is not transitive:

 > ? =             o
 >                / | \
 >               *  o  o
 >                  |  |

 >                     *
 >

So I remember Jim Burns when he posited a more
general approach, he said transfinite induction
must be satisfied.

Otherwise we can take this Quine atom x = {x},
https://math.stackexchange.com/a/2874533

And by a suitable interpretation of the circular
h-trans definition, a definition that is not well-defined
since it has no unique interpretation,

we might judge this Quine atom an ordinal.

LoL
