500 bits was a guess. It was not intended to be accurate. It just looks better if he uses an actual number.
I'm fine with a guess being included in the text, even one that isn't elaborated on. The post wasn't about making that particular estimate, and elaborating on it there would have been counter-productive.
However, that doesn't really answer my question. What factors need to be accounted for when estimating the kolmogorov complexity of physics? Which parts cost the most? Which parts cost almost nothing?
