They are immaterial in the sense that they do not depend on any particular material to instantiate, i.e. a wooden triangle and a pencil sketch of three joined and straight lines, both partake of the form of triangularity. Likewise, there is a common meaning to "I am." and "Je le suis" even though the form of the proposition is entirely different. In both cases you do not directly perceive the forms or propositions as objects of sense; but rather the objects of sense allow you to know the existence of the forms and propositions.
