6 + 6 always equals 12 and at the same time it does not. It is how you perceive it. The perception makes it real.

If you use a number system that does not involve the english "12" than "12" does not matter in that system. It is irrelevant.
All is fact and nothing is fact. Just as all is opinion as nothing is opinion. They are separate yet equal. 6 + 6 = what you perceive it to mean or what you do not perceive it to mean. An
How do you know an electron exists if you cannot truly see it clearly with your own eye just as the the untrained animals knows where to go season after season? How could you possibly know the truth if your mind is closed?

Oh I do love a discussion that radonifies the existentosphere with it's paragittish and maloofical strobuliticity... and none is more stroblucitous than this vaporilious and chunterbilical muligogue.
Excuse me, my hair has gone on fire.

Ahh, so base 10/decimal is now the "[E]nglish" system?
Get out much? Look out the window, there's a big world out there. It's not all English.
"How could you possibly know the truth if your mind is closed?"
I dunno, but you might have just given me the perfect description of the problem with "worldviews," once they become flexible enough to have a prayer of accuracy (like what you described, and unlike science and religion), it becomes so vague and meaningless that it doesn't feed the deep-seated needs and desires that a worldview is supposed to help.
Thus, an accurate worldview retains no followers, because an accurate worldview is going to end up looking like yours.

This is actually true. For example, 6+6=C - in a hexadecimal numbering system. However, the only thing that has changed is the perception of the label attached to '12', as it is labelled in the decimal numbering system, not the actual fact itself. So 6+6 does always equal 12, even when 12 isn't '12'.
If you have six apples and you later get six more, you'll always have twelve apples. Changing the number system or the definition of the words doesn't change the number of apples you originally had, were later given and now have; it just changes the labels you assign to them. See Whitehead and Russell's "Principia Mathematica" for a rigorous first-principles discussion of numbers.
Electron Microscopes. Certain animals having the ability to sense magnetic fields; in effect a bioelectronic compass.
Scientists' minds are open to doing research that enables them to know these things via Observation . Thus more gaps filled, and the likes of you proved wrong . NEXT!
Okay, so if the current system is wrong, you are free to go present an alternate theory that demonstrates what we see in nature and reality and prove all those stupid scientists wrong. You'll probably win a Nobel Prize or two for it. You'll be forever remembered as one of the all-time greatest scientists and geniuses in history. So what are you waiting for? Oh wait...

Counting, by contrast, is a learned skill that (in theory) has no limit.
Semantics
Six means Six. That's the dynamic singular meaning of it. Math is a precise invention, not a meandering mercurial product of it's time. It was locked down years ago and consistent upon itself and it's uses.
Stupid philosophical pretences of living in some down syndrome childs matrix or otherwise. Reality has meaning, refusing to accept it is madness.
That there are things that we cannot physically perceive is a given, reality is us not knowing all, how could we? That this 'butterfly wings across the ocean' changes any reality is bullshit, its only part of the overall things we cannot know. That 'butterfly' thing and 'if a tree falls' thing are mind exercises, not guides to reality.
Confused?
