When you don't know the true probability distribution of values for
some natural process, the probability distribution which is most
likely to be accurate is the one which minimizes Fisher information
when constrained by the variance of the samples you have observed. In
other words, complex natural phenomena operate as if they were
intentionally trying to minimize our ability to symbolically reduce
them. This is, I think, is just a restatement of Gödel's
incompleteness theorems.

Has this work by Roy Frieden and Vinicius Romanini been reviewed
here already?
Here's a review of Frieden:
