probably lots of dynamic imbalance in behaviors that accelerate and decelerate. Maybe there are several kinds of things one could call 'information'. Both a system and its environment contain kinds of images of each other, for example. Taking 'information' as 'whatever the heck informs the system' I find it's clearly stored in the loops, but in most systems the loops are inconveniently broken much or most of the time... My main criterion is that theory should refer to the reality, since the reality is really too complicated to accurately describe.
