Well js1138, for openers I'd say: all the information pertaining to all existents in the Universe in the past (much of which still lives in human consciousness); and all the information pertaining to the not-yet-realized possibilities of the Universe that will manifest in the future. I imagine that we denizens of the present time do not see let alone "embody" in language all the (astronomically huge) amount of information, realized or yet-to-be realized, that is floating all around us (so to speak).

(I'll assume this makes sense to you.)

Perhaps there are legions of spirits, phantoms, faeries, ghosts, angels and garden gnomes spinning about our heads. Clouds of virtual entities, all undetectable by banal, humdrum physical methods. Vast realms of scientific possibilities, all (alas) undetectable by hidebound, prosaic physics.
Fine and dandy, but there's no point in claiming them as a legitimate fields of physical study until you propose some means to verify or invalidate their existence. Otherwise it's just so much intellectual wankery. And trying to invoke said entities in a discussion about the evolution of bird beaks, as if these alleged entities are somehow causing changes in the little birds eating apparatus is...um...be diplomatic here...not a credible hypothesis at this time.
Although I like the 'clouds of flying garden gnomes' image', personally.
