This looks like the sort of thing that I usually find enlightening, but I don't understand it. Could you repeat it in baby-speak?
You can write nonsense formulas on paper which don't correspond to theorems about anything. You can't construct nonsense universes which aren't described by theorems anywhere.
Words only mean anything because we interpret them to correspond to the real world. In the absence of words, the real world continues existing.
