How does mathematical Platonism interpret the statement “4 is even”?

In the philosophy of mathematics, mathematical Platonism interprets the statement “4 is even” as a literal, true description of an abstract object.

According to this view, the number 4 is an objective, nonphysical, and nonmental entity that exists independently of human thought, much like the Moon exists independently of our ideas about it. Because Platonists hold that mathematical theorems provide true descriptions of such abstract structures, the statement “4 is even” is considered a factual claim about the properties of this specific abstract object within the sequence of positive integers.12

Platonists reject interpretations that treat such sentences as nonliteral or as mere shorthand for hypothetical conditions (e.g., "if numbers existed, 4 would be even"). They argue that mathematical discourse is best understood as being about these unchanging, noncausal objects, and that mathematical truth is objective rather than contingent upon human psychology or physical reality.13
