The difference between Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle and Godel’s Incompleteness Theorem, besides their area of application, is that Heisenbergian Uncertainty is a pragmatic and physical constraint dictated by the limitations of the means of measurement available to us (light waves of various frequencies and energy levels and their unavoidable effects upon very small objects), while Godelian Incompleteness is a theoretical constraint built into the very fabric of self-referential systems.

Actually you’re wrong here. The uncertainty principle is indeed a theoretical constraint.
