If it is mathematically proven false, is it therefore “false”.

Since we are on semantics, if it ismathematically proven false then it is mathematically false. That doesn't mean it is necessarily false as regards the real world.

What do you think mathematic proofs are about?

That doesn't mean it is necessarily false as regards the real world.

Mathematics is the real world of quantifiable facts.

You are saying that you do not accept mathematic proofs. Yet, you would not know that the Pythagorean Theorem is truth without the mathematic proof. Same for Geometric proofs. Correct me if I am wrong.

These are real world quantities and real world geometries.

If you cannot accept mathematic proof, then your problems are moreso with logical proofs - and any argument you make fails by your own test.
