Maybe we can convert Bruno to Aristotelanism:

That can convince the inner god (the soul, S4Grz) of Brouwerism (modern Aristotelism about that infinity question).

But the inner God is already convinced by this.

Yet, that is not enough to explore reality. It is enough to build bombs and rocket only. To confuse what we can do potentially with truth is a confusion between []p and []p & p.

It is again a form of solispsism, I am afraid. It can work for a large part of math, but has no sense in the fundamental questioning.

Even Nelson himself uses often classical non standard models to justify its predicate arithmetic and probability theory.

Nelson is very good and clear, but his philosophy abstracts from all questions I am interested.
