"Thus, one possible way that the fine-tuning problem might eventually be solved would be if some high-level explanations turned out to be exact laws of nature."

Post Body

The aforementioned quote is taken from "The Beginning of Infinity" by David Deutsch. I am trying to understand what David means here.

This is what I have understood: If fine tuning can be explained by high-level phenomena then we would need to go to reductionism, which we have already established is wrong. But we also know that emergent phenomena is quasi-autonomous(means its self-contained). If we look this according to Kurt Gödel theorems, that every system cannot be explained in terms of it self, So in the light of that is not above quote wrong?
