It is the counterpart to the entropy of spacetime and fields issue: our matter fields can have a fair bit of entropy, but spacetime seems to have started in a low entropy state, which allows it to drive lots of complexity-creating processes as matter clumps. However, spacetime expansion likely does not correspond to an information storage increase: it just adds more low-entropy flatness. Maybe it is more like a dropbox or gmail account, where available storage space is going up all the time whether you use it or not.<br>

If there is more information generated by any of the subspace, wouldn't the sphere necessarily increase in surface area to accommodate the increased complexity in the description of the bounded space? the boundary is large to describe multidimensional subspaces - and that causes regions of "low-entry flatness" to compensate. The more complex and ordered the simulations (of any level) the larger the surface and therefore the more emptiness around the information-dense core. Does that remind anyone else of a description of an atom?<br>
