Bekenstein's work is well known. If anything it says information has
no place. The more complex (fractal) the boundary, the more
information in the space it contains. That's a real interesting idea,
but it suggests that the information is not actually in the space at
all. It suggests that information *creates* the space that contains
it, just as in GR, matter/energy creates space.
You are discussing quantum gravity, which conspicuously does not have a
notion of place, so it is pretty hard to say that information is *in* a
place.
