A "manual" which specified precisely how every process in the universe operates, in complete accordance with "reality" might run into conflict with Godel's theorum. I don't believe it will ever be a "practical" problem, though because, as both you and I have both said, physicists don't try to find out how the universe "really" works, but simply to devise theories which are good enough to make agree with experimental results and make useful predictions from.
