I'd agree to the extend that I think I've understood your (difficult to winnow out) point. You can have cognitive objects that point to cognitive objects, and cognitive objects are facts about the world. There is perhaps some trickiness if you refer to outside facts like the validity of something like logic (one of the possible uses of the word "true"), but don't account for it that might lead people to think that "this theorem is true" doesn't refer to the observable universe, when in fact it just doesn't refer only to cognitive objects.
