Yes. This comes from the observation that the amount of information (in the form of particles) you can put into a volume of space before it turns into a black hole, is proportional to the surface area of this volume, not the volume itself. This suggests that one could formulate a theory on what is formally the surface of a space which would describe and house all the physics which is perceived as going on inside this surface.
so the surface is akin to an algorithm describing the volume? This gives me the sense that string theory should be replaced with bubble theory.
