This is a curious question given that "platonism", by definition, is
the doctrine that (mathematical truth) is fixed.
Now, what perhaps you are missing, is that, even just arithmetical
truth (and even less) defines canonical "person point of views"
(hypostases) including some which develop temporal logic and dynamics.
This is a consequence of incompleteness.
Your question was really "is platonism false?"
All naturalist (physicalist, materialist) believes that platonism is
false, since Aristotle.
I mean the monist or neoplatonist understanding of Plato.
