What field is appropriate for understanding the fundamentals of existence? Is it metaphysics or is math a viable option? I generally like to think about metaphysical problems, but I feel that there is alot of things in philosophy that is too high leveled (high level abstarction layer) and therefore not relevant to the fundamentals of existence, any ideas?
>What field
The answer lies in a rejection of the question. You must be a generalist and avoid hyperspecialization, and compartmentalization. Try to resolve the underlying absolutes everything is composed of and the connections between them.

can you specify what you mean by fundamentals of existence?

I have this belief that the world is very simple, and that the world build up like a tree in mathematics from a single very simple point, where paradoxes play a central role and you will have to just "accept" one or two things, but from those things the whole existence develop in abstraction layers, where each layer creates new rules out of only one or two fundamental rules, it is pretty hard to explain it in text without writing a novel. What am i doing here? Logic? Math? I just don't know what to it really is

So you like reductionism. Mathematical logic and fundamental particle physics should be right up your alley.
