Physics is a second order discipline contingent on philosophical first principles known by observation.I think you overestimate the power of philosophy to say something about reality without considering the physics behind the words you use. As soon as you use concepts such as a "mover" in your philosophical argument and then talk about its properties, it doesn't seem to be a hierarchy any more where physics is secondary.
You keep waving those five ways around. Can you give an example of an argument they make that says something about reality without relying on physics?
