It is.

That was my point about finite "block" of universe... even if the
universe is infinite every finite block of it contains finite numbers of
matter hence a finite numbers (however big it is) of possible
permutations of the matter within it (even if you take the maximal
permutations of fully filled "block" of matters). That's what I call the
divx arguments :) What you see (or what any human could see) however big
is the resolution of the picture is still finite data. Example, imagine
that our eyes resolution is 10⁵x10⁵ and we are able to "see" 10³
pictures per second... then a human lifetime of seeing is encodable in a
string of 10⁵x10⁵x3x10³x60x60x24x365x~100 bits (3 for 3 bytes per pixel
for 16.5 millions color not even discernable by us, 100 for a 100 years
of lifetime) not taking "compression" in account.. it's (very⁵) big but
finite (and I did take a very⁵ high resolution) and all humans seeing
will be encodable with all permutations available on a string of this
length. Which is even bigger but still finite.

If infinities are at play... what is a MAT-history ? it can't even be
"written".
