This may not be the problem you think it is. In quantum mechanics there can be negative information and there are some (speculative) theories of the universe that have it originating from at state with only one bit of information. Then complexity we see is due to the separation of entangled states by the inflation of the universe. Unitary evolution of the wave-function of the universe must preserve information. In these theories, as my friend Yonatan Fishman put it, "The universe is just nothing, rearranged."
