real-number

The question was raised in [section 3.3], and we must indeed ask whether the real-number spacetime continuity that is almost universally assumed in physical theories is really the appropriate mathematics for describing the ultimate constituents of Nature.

If you're thinking of numbers on a real-number continuum, sure: 3 is "less than pi."

Similarly we could be misled by the representation of a concept as a number into thinking that there is naturally an infinitely extendable scale for that concept, since the real-number line continues on to infinity in both directions.

The same point can be put in terms of sentences: Frege insists that the consistency-question that arises for the sentences under their geometric interpretation is a different issue from the one that arises for those sentences under their real-number interpretation; for Hilbert on the other hand, there is just one question, and it is answered in the affirmative if there is any interpretation under which the sentences express truths.
