It may not be because we lack the brains to find the floor, maybe
there are a infinite number of lower level and there is no floor to
find. Or maybe not, maybe things end in a brute fact, if so I
suspect that brute fact is a law of physics rather than a axiom of
mathematics. Or maybe not.
Indeed, that is the type of things which might depend on the theory.
Computationalism is a nice theory because it explains that there is no
physical bottom, as the physical bottom is given by all computations/
sigma_1 sentences, and the physical aspect (observable) is given by
the self-referential logic pertaining on that sigma_1 bottom.
We cannot always say that we cannot answer this or that, but then that
is one reason more to try different theories, and test them
experimentally.
My work, in soccer term, is that we got: Plato 1, Aristotle 0. Now,
I don't pretend it is the final cup or something ...
