Bioshock 3 ("Parkside project") will be announced this winter, between December 2019 and March 2020

there never was an Anna and where he took Booker's place in the world

Two things you got wrong, 1. there actually was an anna (see the tattoo on his right hand), but most likely not in rapture, which is what caused him to be "out of balance" of the timeline since he was in a world with him twice . And 2. he is Booker DeWitt, Comstock is just his new name after the Baptism. So he just got rid of the name Comstock and went again by Booker when he came to rapture.

As he no longer had Comstock's identity, he was free of Elizabeth's Cycle Break, hence her plan to directly take care of that last Comstock.

The Cycle has nothing to do with their name... all "Comstocks" are all bookers after the baptism. You rightfully said at the start that he escaped the cycle by changing universes, not by changing names.

There's no other known way of Booker becoming Comstock other than the Baptism.

We cant know that, she says in Infinite that this is where "All prophets start", but in Burial at Sea she says, "You are the last one i had to find" which implies that there was more than one that wasnt affected by the drowning, so we cant say if all the comstocks she hunted were reality jumpers or if they were created by other means.

There are millions of Rapture indeed but AFAWK Columbia no longer exists due to Elizabeth wiping every Comstock from existance, including the final, BAS one.

Through Rosalind Lutece's discovery of the "Lutece Particle", which held atoms at a fixed position and support by Zachary Hale Comstock, a charismatic American religious figure, the city of Columbia was created and presented at the 1893 Chicago World's Fair.

The Luteces discovered the Lutece Particles, Comstock just supported them in rallying and constructing the city, but he isnt the keystone, the Lutece Particle is.

It is clear that there wont be any other Columbia like we have seen with the Prophet Comstock leading his flock, but we cant know if there wont be any other columbias.

I would argue that if the Luteces were "deleted" then there couldnt be a Columbia, indipendent of Comstock, but not the other way around.

The only Columbia that exists is the one we briefly visit in BAS2 and that's probably because it already has a special tie to OG Rapture via Fink/Suchong and/or because Elizabeth's own existance prevents it from being erased alongside the other Columbias due to its events being the source of the BAS Elizabeth's own existance.

In terms of the games logic, this would mean that if the tear to that columbia persists, all tears to all other worlds "pre cycle" also persist through that tear.

I've been following Bioshock since its OG release, and yeah there might be things where I'm still wrong, but I think what I said isn't really that way at all. Maybe I was just not clear enough. Sorry.

Hey dude dont be sorry, the story is complex and often hard to remember everything :)

I still really enjoyed discussing with you, since i really like the Bioshock universe and just hope it turns out as great as the previous entries, with the next iteration :)
