I’ll venture a guess. I suppose that if we encode the state of a cloud of gas, we need relatively fewer bits to do so than something that requires more bits like a star. A star is like white noise, to a cold cloud of gas. At the limit, you have gas particles all with zero velocity, so you can encode the velocity of each particle with no bits (I.E. constant of zero). Compare that to a star with every particle flying around at high temperatures. You’d need a number of bits to encode the velocity (state) of each particle. Black holes require even more bits to encode the state of massive amount of particles they contain. Am I close?
