-All mathematical truth comes from its basis on thingyness, which mathematicians call a Set.  Every concept we have a word for is  thingylike.  This is the base assumption of all reality.  Caution be warned to those tempted to adventure before this assumption - stuff gets weird!  After all - you and yourself are things.  When I do it things get very Alice In Wonderland and people often get irritated/scared/angry/crazy.  They're things too - so they think - and me looking past the glass of the Set questions their thingyhood existence and can trigger the fight andor flight or playdead response.

 Andor is 'and'+'or'.  I'm gonna need that Set!  Lol!

 One more thing about mathematical Truth.  Math arrives at Truth across all perspectives because it assumes very little, proceeds diligently, and strives to create well defined definitions.  Many people think truth is knowledge, but knowledge is often just a pageantry of naming things.  Other people might think the real truth is the gnosis of experience, but Donald Hoffman and others have proven what we experience is virtually 0% of what is going on.  Truth is the pattern that presents itself betwixt the knowledge pageants and the gnosis of personal experiences.  You could make up a new astrology with more zodiac signs, and eventually across time and perspectives I bet you patterns of Truth would become apparent.
-My favorite Truth other mathematics taught me is every irrational number can be expressed as a combination of rational numbers as close as I want, but never exactly.  This is analogous to how I could write forever how my soulmate makes me feel but never tell it all.  Everything is an infinite investigation, even that spec of dust over there. Answers are just placeholders helping us conserve and redirect energy elsewhere by saying, "This answer is good enough for now, no need to investigate until later."
+Math is a very well chosen and made pageantry, but it's just a language and it can lie much more convincingly if you lose sight of the subtextual assumptions therein.  You might have noticed the weak link in my Logic Bandaid above when I said addition compiled with itself is multiplication.  It's not.  In fact, that's pretty much the same hoodwinking all mathematicians pulled on themselves.  Multiplication does not follow addition.  Mathematics glossed over the second fundamental pattern that presents itself is actually division.  If you go on making up things real quickly you'll thingy yourself and a group of others.  Well pretty soon you're going to notice a thing that's not like all of you, like food.  A number of you things want the foodthing, hence division.  In fact I could diverge into argument that division is the fundamental pattern that presents, and counting/addition only becomes relevant secondary to sharing.  I have delved into this, and the patterns in the periodic table and music and sound become unveiled reworking math from this angle.
+Maybe that'll get written someday. As an artist of mathematics I caution against this Zeitgeist to label math as the language of God. I'm sure God's really into some of the revelations from math, but Eric Weinstein and I can testify that much of math has been written by people not mathematicians andor not artists at that.  It's still just a pageant, let it not come between you and what you know in your heart.
+My favorite Truth other mathematicians taught me is every irrational number can be expressed as a combination of rational numbers as close as I want, but never exactly.  This is analogous to how I could write forever how my soulmate makes me feel but never tell it all.  Everything that makes life worth living defies words in this way.  Worthiness cannot be word packaged into a cute gift of a concept.
+Everything is an infinite investigation, even that spec of dust over there. Answers are just placeholders helping us conserve and redirect energy elsewhere by saying, "This answer is good enough for now, no need to investigate further... until later, perhaps."
