No. Information complexity does not obey conservation laws. The initial rule for generating the Universe is simple, but as time goes on information complexity only increases exponentially. It's a singularity of information complexity and we are at the center of it.

(This is the real reason, by the way, why aliens don't exist and Fermi's "paradox" isn't really.)

What do you mean by "information complexity"?

Quantity of information absolutely does follow conservation laws, at least in quantum mechanics.

Same thing as the Kolmogorov complexity the original poster mentioned. It corresponds to entropy somehow, so I don't think quantum mechanics is on topic here.
