I think Heisenberg's Platonism is valuable but, like all
Platonism, needs to be "fleshed out" - pun intended. (You may recall
that Augustine said that he had found "In the beginning was the Word" in
Plato but not "The Word was made flesh".) The world is - as Jim
Neidhardt was found of saying - "embodied mathematics".
