I don't know who you think has shown this. Maudlins argument
relies on the Activity Thesis, which is an independent claim
from "physics is the fundamental science". Your argument
shows that phyics emerges from maths (given the existence of
an immaterial UD), making matter redundant;
but it is equally the case that maths emerges from
physics (given the existence of matter), making Platonia redundant.
