If the theory is to make any sense, any reference to "the

Einstein's paper on special relativity begins with one concept of
time, and by the end of the paper refines it to a more accurate
conception of time. I don't think this is any different. Here we
start with a conventional meaning of "physical universe", and by the
end we show how the reasoning leads to a more refined concept of
universe.
The difference is that we don't credence Einstein's theory because of
some argument, we accept it because it made some surprising
predictions which were empirically verified.
Unfortunately it works only in the Aristotelian frame, which is
contradicted by Mechanism.
But as Bruce points out your argument is a reductio, so the misfortune
falls to Mechanism.

At least Einstein was aware of its religious faith here, and
eventually begin to suspect he might be wrong.
Strictly speaking Mechanism solves that problem. It makes the physical
science working!
