What, then, distinguishes numbers from me being Thor? What do we think of when we think of the relationship between numbers and reality, and why is that distinct from the idea that I am Thor?
If this doesn't shine a light on where my brain is trying to go, let me know and I can possibly come up with a different way of putting it.
More accurate would be "1+2=4" is a concept like "you are thor" is a concept. Neither is true by definition*
*Perhaps "thor" is sometimes defined merely as the costume? Perhaps dressing as thor on Halloween would make "you are thor" true?
