Information is a log of the possibilities. Adding epigenetics and such will add to the number of bits, not multiply them. If I give you another decimal digit to stick on to a number, it may give you another factor of 10 to play with on its sum, but it'll still be just one more digit, not a factor of magnitude more digits.
