Like how the characteristics of the particles and fields and all the interaction rules are are stored or embedded?

That's an interest thought; I assume the storage is the particles. An electron acts like an electron because it's an electron. You'd have to change the particle itself to get it to act some other way.

That said, we are already exploring some ways to store information like nature: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_digital_data_storage

So that's where my question is. Can we store the complete information an electron carry optimally, like in a space smaller than the electron itself? This leads to the question: is this possible to save the current state of universe in a space smaller than universe without loosing any information?
