I already told you that I interpret
There exists a prime number "in plato heaven",
by
"There exist a prime number" is true independently of me, you, the
universe ...
comp does not need a magical platonic realm in your sense. I don't
introduce it for the notion of matter and it would be a fatal damage
for comp if we were needing such a magic stuff for numbers.
Comp needs just arithmetical realism AR. It is just the idea that the
truth value of arithmetical proposition, including existential
propositions, does not depend on me or of any cognition apparatus
(indeed "cognition apparatus" are defined, with comp, by relation
between numbers, like in Artificial Intelligence, or in comp cognitive
science.
