The text explores the relationship between modern physics, which increasingly adopts a mathematical character, and the fundamental nature of reality. While the success of mathematical physics demonstrates that reality possesses quantifiable aspects, the author warns against philosophical one-sidedness and scientific hubris. The central aim is to explain why reality can be effectively quantified and, more importantly, to identify what eludes such methods. The success of quantification stems from the world being composed of individualities that maintain their own particularity, making them countable from an external perspective. However, the author argues that the essence of reality lies in event-based processes, occurrences without a substrate that are internally integrated and cannot be atomized. Because these events represent a continuous flow that resists division into discrete parts, quantification alone is insufficient. The text advocates for a new philosophical approach that prioritizes the study of events and changes as indivisible, non-quantifiable wholes, capturing the more significant dimension of reality.
