I agree with the first part. In the second part, where is the randomness in the information? The set of all N-bit integers is completely predictable for a given N.

For the set of all possible inputs (and thus all possible continuations), yes.

So the complexity of the set of all possible continuations of a person has less information content than just the person.

When you say "just the person" do you mean just the person at H(T_n) or a specific continuation of the person at H(T_n)? I would say H(T_n) < H(all possible T_n+1) < H(specific T_n+1)

I agree with the second part.
