If I understand you correctly, it seems that location (the description of a
location) is just a form of what you call "state". 

I think it's a rather complex thing to try to measure information in
general. What we generally call "information" only becomes "informative" in
a specific context. How to measure the amount of information in the
context? It takes about 10 bits to store any location on this planet with 1
degree resolution, but this "information" requires a lot of context to
actually lead you to the spot it describes. How many bits are in the
context?
