I wrote on Quora in response to a question and a theory about what it the fundamental unit of existence at the smallest-scale:

More abstractly the fundamental unit of existence is information. Information only exists relative to some other information. Thus for information to exist necessitates the absence of a universal total order, i.e. the lack of omniscience. Thus the fundamental requirement or attribute of existence is unbounded disorder aka entropy (or essentially the distribution of possibilities which maximizes uncertainty). We can relate this to the point in your cited video about the inability of waves to be a complete model, due to the unbounded possibilities. Waves as a model essentially model the theoretical multiverse where everything exists simultaneously thus nothing exists as discernibly more relevant. Or stated another way the multiverse is a total order and thus is static with no uncertainty.

You’re describing a model that you claim is consistent with extant orders of theoretical understanding, but it must be necessarily incomplete because it’s not abstractly fundamental. Although this says nothing about whether it might be very useful. I need to dig more into understanding your theory. A cursory read has piqued my curiousity, but it is 1am. Bedtime.
