>The semantics is the actual mathematical ideas going on within the head of the mathematician

I think this intuitionism in the (original) sense of Brouwer.

Martin-Löf argued for something different:

"Martin-Löf’s meaning theory of intuitionistic type theory should be understood directly and “pre-mathematically”, that is, without assuming a meta-language such as set theory."

"This meaning theory follows the Wittgensteinian meaning-as-use tradition."
