Shannon information, sure.

However, algorithmic information (Kolmogorov complexity, etc.) is based on computation.

But that just takes us even further from physical relevance / universal fundamentals. Kolmogorov complexity is fundamental in computation, but its relevance in physical science is pretty selective.
