Every person has a different sort of truth in their mind, which is subjective to their interpretation of the world through their senses. Yet we still seem to think that there’s truth, and that there’s a right and wrong answer to something. When you think about it, everyone’s interpretations of things are just a bunch of noises and sounds and sensations of things they’ve touched, etc. We add structure to these things ourselves and make patterns off of what we’ve absorbed through our senses. I think in order to establish what is truth, you’d have to establish what is thought, because thought inexplicably takes meaningless noises and stimuli and creates some sort of meaning out of it.I've thought in a similar vein.
I think that we are able to construct meaning out from the abstractions of our surroundings. I mean, for example we can make an abstraction of roundness of a stone or any other round structure to discover the constant π (pi) from the circumference divided by it's diameter for any arbitrary circle. That's something which is true regardless of who discovers it, which I also find to be the beauty of math.

I can't vouch for the rest of OP, because I don't understand what you're trying to convey.
