Anatta – the Opposite of Which Atta?

^That post cleared up some of my questions. Though, I’m still unclear about the following:

From that above post:
-“Anatta is a fact indicating there is no essence or truth to be had in this world of 31 realms.”

-“therefore, one who is struggling to find such “ultimate truth in this world” is helpless.”

The “ultimate truth that is timeless”, is this referring to Nibbana? Is this a case of transcendent truth as opposed to mundane truth?

Mathematical facts(like 1+1=2), nama gotta records, and Buddha Dhamma contain unchanging and timeless truths, but all are still part of this world, thus are mundane truths. But compared to Nibbana, even those truths don’t hold the same truth as Nibbana, because Nibbana is not part of this world, it is transcendent, thus Nibbana is the only ultimate transcendent truth?
