Yes. This is why I like David Chalmer's double-aspect theory of information as the basis for a cosmology. But by the usual definition information requires an information space. As well as atoms there must also be a void.

To confuse the issue further the esoteric view is that true Reality is prior to both information/atoms and space/void. Strictly speaking nothing can be said about reality at this level, since it does not consist of information. This does not mean that reality is 'devoid of any possibility of confirmation', since true knowledge is identical with its object. What it means that any attempt to describe this underlying reality will sound mystical.
