Not sure Kant used those terms together, but I guess a truth derived under transcendental conditions would be a transcendental truth. — Mww
Kant has already explained why the antinomies are faulty — val p miranda
E.g., I can make no sense of this at all, even after trying. But it would appear you identify metaphysical truths - whatever they are - with conscious phenomena - whatever they are. Even substituting in various understandings I can't make them balance as you seem to. So I call foul, and await your clarification in language that is a good bit clearer. (And btw, when you quote a source, please include the source.)are those metaphysical truths (conscious phenomena) like our sense of wonderment we've been discussing; the feelings — 3017amen

is the concept of Noumenon (....) something that exists a priori like mathematical structures? — 3017amen
Mathematical structures, while a priori for their construction, lend themselves intuitively to phenomenal representation for their reality. — Mww
Noumena, on the other hand, as products of the understanding, hence are only discursive constructs, can never be intuitive, hence never phenomena, hence never represented in the human world of objects. — Mww
But if mathematical structures describe the nature of the universe — 3017amen
We don’t know that they do; we only know they describe the universe in such a way the universe becomes comprehensible to us, strictly given the kind of intelligence we are. — Mww
But what is mathematics itself? — 3017amen
Simply put, I guess, mathematics is the science developed by reason out of the category of “quantity”, in response to observations in the world. If the categories are part of our innate rational constitution, as transcendental philosophy stipulates, then the ground of mathematical structures resides in us naturally. — Mww
if this innate sense of reason provides for an abstract objective reality, what is the nature of [this] our reality? — 3017amen
