Your logic is incorrect because you assume your conclusion as a premise.

You use the WRONG definition of Truth, and assume that Truth can only be
something that is proven, and then from that try to prove that Truth is
only something that csn be proven.

This is incorrect, and thus your whole arguement is invalid.

For example, in mathematics, there are a number of statements that must
either be True of False, there is no possible middle ground, but these
statements have not been shown to be provable or disprovable. An example
of this is the 3x+1 problem.

Given any finite integer x. Repeatedly iterate the algorithm, that if x
is odd, the next number in the sequence is 3x+1, if x is even, then next
number is x/2.

The conjeture is that ALL numbers will eventually in finite time reach
the value 1, and the infinite loop 1, 4, 2, 1, ...

This conjecture MUST be either True of False, there is no possible
middle ground. No proof of this conjecture has been found, nor any
counter example found even though numbers upt to a VERY large size have
been tested.

This appears to be, at least for now, unprovable;.

By your logic, we are not allowed to say this problem must be either
True of False, because to do so admits a Truth that can't be proven (or
at least has totally defined proof so far).
