Actually, the sentence of highest compression contains direction, rather than information. The world already contains that information, all you need is a pointer to it.
All information is direction. Pointers are just a form of compression. Telling someone where to find a book in the Library of Babel is equivalent to compressing the contents of the book (probably not in a very efficient way).
