I don't think it has anything to do with Gödel's incompleteness theorems. Those are about the relation of proofs and consistency. Minimizing Fisher information is just maximum entropy (minimal assumption of information) when both means and variances are known. It's going to give the exact answ

I have some comments on EPI in my book Theory of Nothing, in connection with how it fits into an ensemble theory everything. You can download a copy from my website. EPI is one of those brilliant ideas that must be piece of the puzzle, yet nobody really quite knows what to make of it. Possibly be

Believe or not, I find your questions easy to answer. This doesn't mean that I know I am correct, merely, that I am employing Occams Razor- which is definitively not always true. I am assuming a physical universe, at least the portion Earth dwells in. Computationalism may be its true basis, not
