Redefining the laws of physics in terms of information theory is not new, but so far as I know hasn't been tried and expressed well with gravity.
Certainly all of QM can be done in terms of information, and I think Seth Lloyd is working on this right now. Cool to see a new take on gravity though.
Also, it's neat to think that black holes are deterministic from their surface, though it's sort of required if you force thermo on it. After all, if the information's beyond the event horizon, it's not really in our universe, and thus violates thermo assumptions about closed systems. Sort of a case of mashing theory against the universe.
