I would say that the natural numbers with their additive and
multiplicative structures would be a pretty starting point. (This gives
already all computational (digital machines) histories).

The observers. The consistent anticipating memory machines generated by
many computational histories.

And we don't need to assume the natural numbers are embedded in any
more primitive reality. We "define" them axiomatically (and
incompletely).

But those field and gauge theories are overwhelmingly successful. They
just does not (yet?) address the question of their relations with math,
their possible logical or arithmetical or informatical origin, the
first person/third person relation, etc.
