Note that even though I have argued that escaped information no longer has a preferred value, it still has a preferred basis, according to quantum Darwinism. One form of the Copenhagen interpretation (presuming a unitarily evolving earth but an irreversible measurement process somewhere in the sky) says that escaped information does has a definite value, which we are ignorant of. If we find an extraterrestrial fossil, it will “agree” with the value we once knew but have forgotten. R. Schack prefers that Sappho’s lost poems be real instead of the wave function of the universe being real. I lean the other way, but it is only a matter of taste.
Enough about information & remembering and forgetting. Can we find a non-anthropocentric definition of what kind of information is worth remembering? How should complexity be defined? What is its connection with the universe not being at thermal equilibrium?
