Let me dumb it down for you:

So, where are the Natural Numbers is THIS UNIVERSE?

How can the finite universe hold all of the infinite set?

How about the bigger set of the Reals?

Answer me please.

And where does THAT exist as something physical in the universe?

That is a property that comes out of non-physical logic.

You still haven't shown where any of the steps come out of the physical

How many times did you reference "Physical" in this statement from above?

What in that refers to anything not related to physical objects and 
their interactions?

Where do "Natural Numbers" fit in there?

In other words you are trying to get away with saying that the
concept and definition of natural number is not in the set of
all things thus has no existence what-s-ever thus you never
asked that question.

Nope. The concept and definition of natural numbers exist, but doesn't 
derive from any part of the "universe".

Note, they don't "exist" as a substance, only as a concept, and the 
universe is substance.

And why do you think that is the actual order things happened?

And what does that have to do with your claim that Natural Numbers exist 
in the universe.

And how can we tell that there is nothing that makes the expression of 
language true?

Do you mean that Russel's Teapot has a truth-maker, because we can not 
show that there is nothing that makes it true?

So, how do we know about that?

proving non-existance is very hard.

Truth need not be known.
If of EVERYTHING there is NOTHING that makes an expression
of language X true then X is untrue.

I don't know, what makes the expression: "a frog" true?

It could be if put besides the picture of a frog, or a cage holding one, 
or a box with a disection kit.

Then why do you insisit it must be provable?

Does that only include things in that universe, or of any universe?

And what if the thing is true in some other universe, but its converse 
is true in this one?

Yes, and many things that are UNKNOWABLE.

I changed my freaking words because you had trouble with the other
words. WHEN I CHANGE THE WORDS TO MAKE THEM CLEARER I AM NOT FREAKING
USING THE ORIGINAL FREAKING WORDS.

And thus show that you don't have the mental ability to properly 
communicate.

You complain because I forget things you said a long time ago that you 
think must still be assumed in your words, and you also think it is 
incorrect to assume you are making the same arguement you made a little 
bit ago.

You are just in an inconsistant logic system, because you don't 
understand the meaning of truth.

I think the problem is that YOU don't really understand what you mean, 
because you don't really understand the nature of the words you use.

It seems that you can't even seem to hold onto your core ideas, perhaps 
because there is a fundamental conflict in them that you just can't handle.

That is your excuse for not freaking paying attention?
IT WAS YOU THAT DID NOT PAY ATTENTION.

I changed the words in my paper based on your feedback.
I have always used the term UNIVERSE to exactly mean EVERYTHING.

If of EVERYTHING there is NOTHING that makes an expression
of language X true then X is untrue.

WHich just means you have the problem of Naive Set Theory. There is not 
one "Universe" that is everything.

By your arguement, We can talk about Purple Fairy Dust Powered Unicorns 
existing and doing their magic, because they exist in some universe.

The problem with trying to include EVERYTHING in an unrestricted manner 
is that everythig in that manner is just inconsistant.

Of course, since it seems you never actually did much real study of 
logic, maybe just read the Cliff Notes version, you missed a lot of the 
important details that make you fundamentals break apart.

You CAN'T break down your ideas into more basic terms, as you have had 
to paraphrase the terms so you could understand, and lost the actual 
foundations to them.

But you can't just accept everything. That is what Russel proved about 
Naive Set Theory.

No finite logic can handle the magnatude of a theory that actually tries 
to encompase EVERYTHING.

So you disagree that there is an EVERYTHING.
IS THAT ALL YOU KNOW HOW TO DO IS DISAGREE?

No, there is a concept of "Everything" but it is not very usable as a 
single unified object because parts of it are inconsistant with other 
parts of it.

You just don't seem to be able to understand these sorts of abstract 
concepts, which is why you have your problems.

If of EVERYTHING there is NOTHING that does X then X cannot be done.

I understand them at a higher level of abstraction than you are
currently capable of and you have no correct reasoning to show
otherwise.

Most of the best experts in truth-maker theory make this same mistake
because they define their terms to have subtle incoherence that is
too abstract to be noticed by them.

*These definitions prove that every truth has a truthmaker*

When we ask the question: What is a truthmaker?
The generic answer is whatever makes an expression of language true <is>
its truthmaker.

If of everything there is nothing that makes expression of language X
true then X is untrue.

X may be untrue because X is false. In that case ~X has a truthmaker.

If neither X nor ~X has a truthmaker then X is not a truth-bearer.
