I have no idea what the information capacity of a MWI multiverse is.
0, in Gods' eye.
Surely the information capacity of the multiverse is equivalent to
the information needed to specify the laws of physics?
It is the information you need to define addition and multiplication.
OK, it is a bit more than 0.
I would guess the information capacity of all possible multiverses
would either be zero or perhaps whatever information is stored in
maths (although I guess that could be considered as zero).
It has to be a little above zero, as you cannot specify math from no
axioms at all.
Infinity, from inside, and our partial relative position.
Surely the information capacity as seen from our particular position
isn't infinite, although it is very large? I've heard the figure
10^120 bits mentioned for the visible universe, which is - I assume
- all we currently have even potentially available.
But the visible universe is like a dust, compared to the non visible
realities ...
Also, 10^120 is a very rough estimate, and makes no sense if there are
continuous observable.
