All,
The fundamental nature of reality is examined in detail in my recent book on Reality
available on Amazon under my name.
Marchal is on the right track, but reality consists not just of numbers (math) but is a
running logical structure analogous to software that continually computes the current
state of the universe. Just as software includes but doesn't consist only of numbers and
math, so does reality. In fact the equations of physical science make sense only when
embedded in a logical structure just as is the case in computational reality.
Modern science has a major lacuna, the notion that all of reality is mathematical, that
prevents science from grasping the complete nature of reality. In truth all of reality
is logical, as is software, and the mathematics is just a subset of the logic.
After the difficulties of Russell and Whitehead, and Godel's incompleteness theorem I
thought the idea that mathematics was a subset of logic had been laid to rest.
After all, modern science with its misguided insistence that all of reality is
mathematical, has had nothing useful to say about the nature of either consciousness or
the present moment, the two most fundamental aspects of experience. However I present a
computational based information approach to these in my book among many other things.
The second clarification that needs to be made to the post on Marchal's work is that
human math and logic are distinct from the actual math and logic that computes reality.
The human version is a generalized and extended approximation of the actual that differs
from the actual logico-mathematical structure of reality in important ways (e.g.
infinities and infinitesimals which don't actually exist in external reality).
I'm interested in how you avoid infinities. Do you eschew even potential
infinities?

I can explain further if anyone is interested, or you can read about it in my
book...
