So that's " I don't know either then" is it?

The gravity field holds information about acceleration once an object is there but I cannot see how this is related to the information about individual objects' different velocities. It's a conundrum to me, and it seems that nobody has considered the problem ever!

Sure, I know about inertial reference frames, relativity etc but I think there might be some mileage in exploring ways in which the information about motion is stored. For example, where is the information stored - "in" the object or "in" space?

Think of a body moving as in Newton's first law - in a straight line at a fixed speed say. I have been wondering where is the information for the body to "know" how to move? One could argue that the motion itself is the "information", but that is somewhat unsatisfactory from an information theory point of view. I understand that information theory is being suggested as a possible way of looking at fundamental physics, so my question might be relevant, even though I am only a novice student of theoretical physics.
