IMO, reality doesn't break down, something different just happens. The information encoded in what we call "forces", "space", etc., and the rules from which those concepts emerged, continues as before, but with a different emergent form we can't predict yet. We might learn what that is, or it might be too chaotic, complex or unobservable for us to ever know. But reality as we normally experience it breaks down! Advances in cosmology and physics have broken generations of our perceived realities.
