Truth?  What truth?  This isn't a truth, it's a consequence of the
definition of the system as self consistant.  1 + 1 = 2 is not truth
either, it is a definition from a number of integer addition systems.
If your going to talk mathese please avoid terms like truth and reality.
Neither of these concepts have any place in math.
