Hmm how would you define “percentage of possibilities explored”?
I suggested several metrics, but I am actively looking for additional ones, especially for the epigenome and for communication at the individual level (e.g. chemical signals between fungi and plants, animal calls, human language).
The book “Chemical Evolution: Origins of the Elements, Molecules and Living Systems” by Stephen F. Mason might well contain the kinds of calculations you are looking for.

Chemical space, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_space, is one candidate for a metric of the possibilities.
