If there was definitely such a thing as an objective reality, my answer would be “a claim that is not in contradiction with objective reality”. As it stands, I’ll have to settle for “a claim that is never in contradiction with perceived reality. ” Note that, for instance, ludicrous claims about the distant past do in fact stand in contradiction with perceived reality since “things like that seem to not happen now, and the behavior of the universe seems to be consistent over time” is a true claim which a ludicrous but unverifiable claim would contradict with. Note that the degree to which you believe truth can be objective is exactly proportional to the degree to which you believe reality is objective and modelled by our observations.
