All mathematics is produced by physical objects (brains, computers). Therefore the laws of physics determine what theorems are possible, and mathematics has no existence independent of our universe.

Also, "mathematics has no existence outside our universe" is as over-reaching and ungrounded as the Platonic claims that it undoubtedly seeks to counter. What does existence outside our universe even mean?

I think I see what you mean, but first: Does *anything* exist outside our universe? If no, then clearly mathematics doesn't (it's part of the "anything".) If yes, how is that existence established? And why does mathematics fail to satisfy the criteria?
