I don't think that platonism works. I think that only implementations can be real. We cannot observe the actual implementation of the universe however, but we can show that we can describe it as transitions between states of information. Our models are formed about information.
In the narrow sense, the evolution of the state vector of the universe. In a wider sense, everything that is implemented.

Please give an example of something thus implemented so I can be sure I understand? Please speak simply. I'm of limited intelligence.

Our universe has a ground truth somewhere. Aristotle's prime mover. (I suspect it might be the set of all possible finite automata, producing a kind of fractal in which we emerge.) This is the primary reality.
