It doesn't have to be about relation to other things. That's the whole point it's self-evident.
All theories of truth have to be about truth. Or all theories of A have to be about A. A=A.
You can't have a theory of truth without truth=truth. Not talking about symbols. I'm not talking about the word "truth". I'm talking about actual truth. Truth has to be truth.
Again, it's very simple: You can't even have a theory of truth that isn't about truth. All theories and definitions of truth presuppose truth=truth.
That has to be the most incoherent ramble I've heard in a long while.
