Philosophers of math aren&#x27;t confused by this. What they are asking is whether &quot;mathematical truth&quot; has any connection with truth. Formalists more or less deny this, Platonists affirm it.<p>As a side note, correspondence with reality is a contentious definition of truth. It&#x27;s just one theory of what truth is.<p>I don&#x27;t really know what to say about your claims about meaninglessness, except that I think they&#x27;re false. But I don&#x27;t even know where to start in arguing that. And while I don&#x27;t think this is much of an argument, I don&#x27;t think there are really any philosophers, mathematicians, or logicians who have worked out any theory along those lines.
