If you could build a machine that was able to generate every relevant scientific fact from first principles, do you think it would be done at some point, or that it would never stop?
Not sure what you mean. Even if you could prove that there is only a single possible fractal that explains the observations, it might still be multiple locations within the fractal that are compatible with them, so we cannot find out where we are, except by more observation.
