Is truth relative?

Okay, read this:
http://www.askamathematician.com/2013/04...it-travel/

"Coordinate frame" refers to space and time, but I'm also including other axes: scale, for example, as well as subjective experience. For example, it is true that my desk is solid, and that wood completely fills the volume of that desk; however, it is also true that the volume of the desk is 99.999999999999% empty space. The solidity as we experience it is dependent on the way we experience matter.

Maybe "framework" is not the best word-- perhaps "context"? But the question is clear enough, I hope: is there any kind of truth not dependent on the context in which it is established? Is it always true, for example, that x + x = 2x?
