It's hard to see how physics can be self-consistent without the a priori existence of arithmetic.
Maybe it is because the self-consistency of physics is what makes arithmetic possible.
Though admittedly that is a different point to whether or not physics is "emulated" in arithmetic.
True. But no-one has yet emulated any physics in arithmetic. All the we have is mathematical accounts of discovered physical laws -- arithmetic based in physics.
