IN REVIEW In recent decades, information-theoretic approaches have been an important research paradigm trying to solve the fundamental and still unfathomable question of the quantum theory of gravity, the structure of spacetime. Newtonian potential, when discretised by strictly applying Planck units, has proven capable of imposing the existence of binary building blocks in the gravitational background, later elevated as the first principles, with the derivation of conversion expressions to count their numbers. Their derived characteristics would then enforce statistical averaging as the only meaningful way of their nonlocal interconnection. Albeit created from completely nonrelativistic concepts, as considered now, the bits have demonstrated the capacity to induce c invariance, explain time-space velocity exchange, or lead the exact derivation of nonlinear forms of time dilation and radial spatial stretching in the Schwarzschild metric, beyond just first-order approximations. No free parametres have been injected. Information has also encoded a mandatory singularity-absent arrangement, matching spacetime regions expected to be occupied by Schwarzschild black holes. Conjecture for dynamics has been showcased and bound by the established postulates, within the concept of a correlation matrix, but will require additional examinations and tests to confirm whether it matches geodesic motion exactly. The incipient aftermath on entropy, the equivalence principle and the interior microphysics, especially the question of causal discontinuity, have been estimated, based mainly on the counting bits, without externally input helpers. This has provided insight into the capacity to deal with many open tensions and to bypass theoretical fragmentations between many frameworks.
