Honestly, that is non sense.

That is a string philosophical claim. It makes some sense in intuitionist 
logic, but is too much extensional in classical logic. It is something deep and 
important, but it is not as rich and fertile as Church-Turing thesis.

A model is a very well defined notion in mathematical logic, and it has nothing 
to do with “standard model of particles” which is a theory, and where the 
intended model in the physical reality (fundamental or not, "really existing" 
or not).

Careful: in "the standard model of arithmetic" and "the standard model of 
particle physics”; model are used in quite different sense. In the logician 
terming, the second one should be called the standard theory of particles.
