Would delay line memory be a fair analogy? Information stored in a delay line memory never stays in one place. I think you are saying biological information is "stored" in the amplitude and phase of oscillations of our cells. Is that correct?
I'm still inclined to believe there is some form of static store, which would be required for inherited memories. Things like our (and many other mammals) ability to recognize emotions in others. Somehow our gametes encode what a happy, sad, or scared face looks like. I instincts as inherited memories.
