Why is there no noun or something similar?
Sentence: I have believed many false things to be true.
Why is there no noun or similar after "falsches"?
Is this some peculiarity of the language?
Possible explanation (?)
Yes, in this sentence , "falsches" is still lowercase. The reason for this is that "falsches" is used here as an adjective referring to an indefinite set of "things" (which is replaced by "viel"), rather than as a noun.
Even if the noun to which the adjective refers doesn't appear directly in the sentence, "falsches" remains an adjective in attributive use. Therefore, "viel" is still followed by lowercase.
The sentence "I have believed many false things to be true" is grammatically correct, and "false" is lowercase because it is still an adjective. A noun such as "things" or "behavior" is implied in the sentence but not explicitly stated.

No, it won’t. “Falsches” is written here.
Right is:
I thought a lot of wrong things were true.
Not necessarily.
In this sentence “Falsches” must be written big. It’s Akk object.
Tip: if a word answers the question WAS? it is a nom or a nominalization.
