Ok, how about recording only deviations to the expected?

I don't know. Maybe. But quantum particles act over a probability spread, and deviations are likely to occur 99.9999% of the time. And strings probably make things worse.
There might be ways, I don't know. I'd think if you wanted some form of compression, you'd then have to assign an index to the particles to indicate which aren't stored, and given that the number of particles in the universe is anywhere between 10^72 and 10^87, that's a pretty big index, which is going to need its own storage.
Um. Anyway. Even if you could, unless you have lossless compression of less than 50% of the total data, growth would still be geometric. In a few thousand Planck time intervals it's still really, really big no matter what.
