True as in a Boolean statement is a way of organizing experience rather than direct access to some hidden, metaphysical object. Your brain has to interpret stimuli to tell whether a Boolean statement is true or false - or interpret stimuli from a computer. You can learn something about the necessary conditions of experience by carefully analyzing the process and separating what is subjective from what is objective, but that isn’t accessing “Truth”.

There’s a giant gap between what this article is talking about, which is Truth, than the true statements from discrete mathematics. Discrete math is rooted in necessary conditions of experience; this article’s Truth is rooted in power.
