If you’re wishing to get into the technicalities of that, then I defer to others of more technical expertise. Though I also note that the issue of information (and what qualifies as such) is a current topic over in another thread. If that’s what you want to pursue, then I leave it to others.
This is a time-honored tussel of historical models - do we see the world as a more-or-less linear progression toward some evolutionary goal? (This view has been decisively put down - there cannot be any goal, or at least not one that is within evolutionary aim, anyway). Or is the world one of cycles (somebody recently asked me about “The Fourth Turning” which is a cyclical historical view of things). It’s hard to imagine evolutionary history following anything that could be thought of as cycles, beyond obvious environmental cycles (ice ages, Milankovitch cycles, etc.). But biology itself? The imposition of something so mathematially simplistic as either linearity or periodicity are both going to be vastly inadequate as any sort of understanding of biological evolution. If the many here who know more want to correct me in that, I’ll happily learn otherwise. I suppose one can think of the long sweep of evolutionary history from less complexity to more (single cellular to eukaryotic to now) then there may be a rough linearity (or perhaps exponentiality, rather), but only as some broad observation, not as any kind of detailed understanding.
But again - this would all just be yet more ‘sideways’ stuff from what you’re asking.
