In this case it would be ~p and []p. despite "[]" correct.
In this reasoning we presuppose only arithmetic, which I think is
neutral on primitive matter (even if not neutral on primitive matter
appearance from inside). p is false.
Would it be true, the reversal would be even more fantastic: the
existence of *primitive* matter would be a theorem of arithmetic.

which would be false, and that is a mathematical contradiction,
even if those Davids and Brunos are zombies. That makes physicalism
just logically incompatible with mechanism (and that argument is
simpler than step 8).
