  "abstract": "We examine the Gisin--Del Santo program on finite-precision physics and its convergence with the Autaxys Ontological Closure (OC) framework. The Gisin--Del Santo program argues that (1) physical quantities contain only finite information, (2) real numbers are physically unreal --- they are de facto hidden variables of classical mechanics, (3) consequently, classical mechanics is ontologically indeterministic, and (4) this classical indeterminism explains many features traditionally attributed to quantum mechanics. We show that the OC framework, independently derived from D/R procedure operationalism, converges on identical structural conclusions: finite specification implies ontological openness, and real numbers beyond a computable modulus of convergence are not physically real. We identify seven convergent theses at certainty levels 3--5/5, note five critical caveats including the unresolved empirical equivalence problem, and present a cross-domain consilience analysis showing this finite-information principle is a structural invariant across physics, computer science, cognitive science, information theory, biology, and sociology.
