Not nearly good enough. It lacks a measurement process for the information irretrievably erased (all assuming time travel is impossible), and which would involve a hierarchy of scopes each with their own dynamics (your CNS is adequately described at six orders of magnitude slower timebase, whereas things at Planck scale consider ~ns an effective eternity). In general destruction of inanimate things are cheap. Look at the Moon, no ecosystems to destroy. Inasmuch destruction of future potentials is to be considered you can always counter that by maximized potential/mole realized by postbiota.
