Tim, I already specified I was talking about the whole universe throughout time and space (and inflation and decoherence). The laws probably don’t have any initial conditions under that specification, even if different things happen in different places.
Henry, follow the link to the Mandelbrot set, then look up how the Mandelbrot set is computed (a single equation).
You need tostate and justify your assumptions, since it is possible to get just about any answer fro 0 to infinity to the question “how much information does the universe contain”, depending on choice of theory.
