Not with a notional non-contingent truth. However, no truth actually taken to be non-contingent is fundamentally non-contigent upon the mind and/or physical things because:
1. It is only conceived of by the mind.
That is a misunderstanding, the concepts of the non-contingent are contingent upon minds, but the non-contingent things that they relate to are not. The concept of the law of non-contradiction is contingent upon minds, but the law of non-contradiction exists without minds or physical things.
