Information and its language may be percieved as the actualization of Bacon's methods of achieving parsimony through fragmentation. Digitalized information is broken down into pulses of on and off or strings of 1's and 0's. It does not "descend to the level of the generality of mankind," it does not present some heretofor unrevealed and profound overarching truth about the nature of reality - in fact, it does not interpret reality at all - it simply represents reality in its purest fragments. The advantages and effects of nature rendered to this form are multitudnous, and such a condition may be pregnant with philosophical implications. But the information itself is distinct from such implications. The information is nature broken down into its component parts, disolved into a medium of absoluteness and exactitude.

Bacon could have only dreamed of reorganizing all aspects of reality - a picturesque panarama from the top of a mountain to one of Mozarts symphonies - into one simple language, consisting of exactly the same elements. Everthing is reduced into one "universal goo." Although Bacon did not envision digitalized information, he was one of the first to embark on the search to understand nature by rationally breaking it down. Systematically, Bacon hoped to discover the subsets of information invested in any problem or aspect of the intelligible universe. Bacon was one of the pioneering figures in the translation of nature into information. He was also one of the innovators of the idea that one did not need to understand the questionable myriad interpretations of nature to be able to get her to reveal her methods.
