Invented, the same way a hammer was invented. The truthfulness of it is measured by its usefulness

our representation of it was invented.
the simplest concepts (like addition) behind our symbols and variables were discovered.
theoretical math concepts were invented.

I would prefer to say that mathematics does not really exist. It is not so that we open the door to a room. There is no door and there is no room. We create the door and we open it. We create the room and we look inside.

It was completely discovered. Every way along the path of learning math you have to see where and if it works. Those are decided without any human interaction.

obviously invented. The universe has its own laws but the way we think about them is completely constructed.

Constructed from what? The ontological framework of the universe that encompasses our bodies and consciousness?

An alien civilisation would be able to independently rediscover all of our mathematics, and the only discernible difference would be how they choose to represent it.

Mathematics is not invented. It can be generated, but even that is a form of discovery.

Math is literally a language and you can't prove otherwise
