No. Like “my brain is a digitalisable machine”. Arithmetic exist is not used anywhere. 0 exists, s(0) exists, RA exists (or is represented in arithmetic), PA exists, ZF exists, but arithmetic (the model/reality) exist in the mind of number. It is phenomenological, except for the sigma_1 complete base, without which we cannot even define “mechanism” rigorously.
