As far as I can conceive it, there are ideas about "non-physical things" and then the non-physical things themselves. Numbers, for example, would be the ideas about NPT. What they represent about the world would be the NPT themselves. Other NPT might fall into those categories too... truth, value, etc. In that regards I don't see a conflict between Platonism and a physical mind.

But I was also surprised about that.
I don't know about this. Platonism is often just used as a synonym for realism. What counts which varies from philosopher to philosopher.
It is very important not to mistake hemlock for parsley, but to believe or not believe in God is not important at all. - Denis Diderot
