Abstract
The paper presents a review of existing types of basic objects in physical theories, such as a material point, an elementary particle (virtual particle), quark, a fundamental string. Fundamental objects are considered in the historical perspective. It is shown that these objects, first, may be classified as formal, physical and hypothetical; secondly, they have a different ontological status. In view of this, a unified (consistent) description of reality is based on introduction of modalities into ontology which results in a model of polyontic reality (the idea of information capacity of mathematical spaces and that of a nongeocentric world comprise a concrete realization of this model).
