That's a pretty flimsy argument. Yes, you can map mathematical ideas onto concepts within different fields of study, but that's kind of the point. Mathematics aims to abstract away any such notions of where you might encounter the natural numbers or the reals, "in reality" or elsewhere. All you've persuaded me of here is that philosophy has a use for math.
