"The information-theoretic argument demonstrate that a model cannot exactly match the reality unless it's as complex as the reality."

What if reality is self-similar at certain scales? You could generate something that resembles the whole from one part of it.

Then the reality is, information-theoretically, less complex and you can use a less complex model to represent it.
